Even if he'd never been here before, it was almost like deja vu. If not for the different numbers near the doors, it might as well have been the same hallway leading to his own room. The uniformity shouldn't have been unnerving, but it seemed like there wasn't anything in this place that couldn't get under his skin somehow.
No matter. He had more important things to think about, like checking the room numbers to see if this was the right hallway.
He checked the first door: M80.
...
Well, that answered that question, unless Landel decided to mess room numbers around to mess with the patients, which X honestly wouldn't have put past him. Why just settle for monsters, strange conditions, and experiments? Why not just get his patients systematically lost, too?
X moved on to the second door: M79.
Using the flashlight, he adjusted the beam to stare down the rest of the hallway, to see if there was anyone.
...
Nobody. The coast was clear--
--wait. Were those voices coming from the other side of the door?
"What are you going to do?"
Oh, that was Zero. Good, he was still there!
"I'm going to help you, wherever you're headed. Although it would be nice if I could replace my torch."
...wait, who was that person? He didn't recognize their voice before; Zero's roommate, maybe? Either way, he seemed to have the right idea. Good for him for keeping Zero from running off on his own.
I'm going to have to thank him later.
After a moment's hesitation, X knocked on the door.
