Day 30: Cafeteria, Dinner

The cafeteria was all but empty when Zelnick got there. He was a little disappointed; he had gotten the impression that patients usually ate dinner in their rooms, so he hadn't arranged to meet anyone, and there really wasn't anyone to sit by and engage in conversation yet.

Quietly, he collected dinner and a big glass of orange juice, and chose a seat near the food-serving counters. Talking for so long had made him thirsty... and, well, fruit juice was a luxury he had missed.

What a train wreck, but he supposed he deserved it for bringing it up. If Yukari was not going to change the topic, Ken would. Dwelling on it further agitated one or both of them.

"Um, so," Ken began awkwardly, his eyes now adverting Yukari's. "What should we do tonight?"

Good question.

"Well," she began, laying her copy of the map on top of the small pile, and thankful go move on to things she could talk about easily. "I guess something happened last night that we didn't get to make our way through here during the Dark Hour." Which was strange, by now she was plenty used to staying up until midnight. "We should try again tonight. Until then, maybe we should find something to look into."

Yukari read the maps of both floors carefully, reading the names of the rooms listed. Where should they go? What would be the most beneficial room to head towards? "You don't have any specific places in mind, do you?"

"Hmm." Ken scanned the maps himself, hoping to jog any memory of interest back when he was tracing the copies. His eyes glossed over the second floor, but nothing grabbed his attention. Sure, there were potentially useful rooms peppered about, but they all sounded like dead ends. Traps containing monsters.

When he shifted his gaze to the first floor, however, something struck. "Hey," he spoke, pointing to a couple of spots on the map. "File Rooms 1 and 2. Don't hospitals usually keep a record of every patient?"

"The records...?"

That was true, hospitals did.

"Yeah," she answered thoughtfully. "If it isn't just for show. If they do..." Yukari raised an eyebrow again, putting a hand to her chin. "Maybe they have something more than that. We could find out more about what this place is if they have anything worth looking at in there."
