Night 67: X-Ray Operation Room

Small room this time. Why did it seem like he'd stepped onto the set of a sci-fi? Is this room about to blast off into space? Ryusei couldn't resist thinking, even though he knew more or less what a space station actually looked like. Glancing through the window didn't make the room's purpose any clearer; it was too dark to make anything out even when he flashed his light directly at it. At least the fact the room even had a window like this was a hint. But what kind of machinery needed that many buttons? Logic would dictate that it was something medical, he thought as he shone the light over the labels. Was it...a surgery room? Was the room beyond the window a surgery room?

"Any idea what this room is?"

More importantly, that had been the only door in the last room, meaning they couldn't backtrack to that outdoors area. What with this Gate Switch nonsense, that meant he might never find the front door tonight. He'd have to wait a day until he could try again. Unless— "This doesn't happen often, I'm guessing," he added.

There was no response to what Mikado said--instead, the subject was changed, and experimentation was brought up. That... --Okay, that was really unsettling, especially after the last thing that had been said. Mikado swallowed, glancing to the other, where Sakuta was shifting through a few items. Was it deliberate or was Mikado reading into things? Either way he wanted out of this room.

"It's, um, uh." Mikado's eyes moved around the room before settling on the door. "I'll tell you, but we should probably continue, right?" A failed attempt at brevity accompanied the boy moving to open the door.
