Night 70: Disciplinary Therapy Corridor
[from here]
Kyousuke was beginning to get pretty used to breaking locks like this... He was almost starting to feel like some kind of criminal. But it was good that they rusted over like that; it would be pretty hard to get around if everything was locked down too tightly.
Once through the door, it opened up into another small hallway, which was lined with several more doors. Kyousuke made his way to the far end and peered into one of the smaller doors—it was looked, but there was a little grate he could still see through. It turned out to be a row of tiny cells that could barely hold a single person, let alone some kind of horrible experiment, so those were definitely not what they were looking for. ... Still, he wondered if these actually saw any use. He'd hate to be shoved into one of these for an extended period of time.
On the other hand, the doors on the the other side gave no hint as to what was inside, and unlike the door they'd just passed through, they were still in pretty good condition, which meant they'd have to find a way inside them that didn't involve smashing the lock. ... Maybe they could just break one of the actual doors. He was confident enough in his own strength for that much.
"What do you think?" he asked, turning to Lloyd. He knew his memory was vague at best, but it was still possible he'd think this place was completely wrong, and in that case, they may be better off backtracking to it later on.

Thinking some of those same thoughts himself about abandoning this plan too early, Lloyd's eyes lingered on some of the other doors before he shook his head. "Maybe we can ask people later if they know how to open these doors without us draining all our mana. We can't be the only ones to try to get through them. We could come back another night."
But tonight they weren't prepared for it. They should try something else. It wasn't giving up if they were just putting it off until they had a better chance.
"Come on," he said, straightening up. "Let's go see what we can find."
