Nightshift 30: M-A Block Hallway

[from here]
Renji paused just long enough to open the door into the first M-block, then ran in, leaving it open behind him. He headed toward the last hallway.

He did switch his flashlight on now, though.

...just in case there was another spider. And no Daemon. In which case he would do more than punch the shit out of the man when he got to him.

Itachi blinked at the boy's tone. Seeing no immediate cause for the other's anger, Itachi disregarded the tone and considered the offer of assistance.

The reference to a target would correspond to whatever trials night supposedly held, though the phrasing made it seem as though the situation was more desperate. As if the patients were being hunted. This was an interesting perspective, one Itachi had not heard yet. It most probably meant that this boy was more weak than the others he had spoken to, less able to deal with the challenges ahead and thus less willing to enjoy them than someone like Zabuza. He was probably not a worthwhile accomplice, then.

But Itachi was having difficulty with the maps, mostly because of his poor eyes. And if he couldn't read the maps. . . if the patients were being hunted. . . it would be difficult to be on his guard against attacks while simultaneously trying to navigate the institution and find a way out. Thursday had had somewhere to go, and this was the only other person who had offered to help Itachi. At this point, it would be most strategic to convince him to work with Itachi. If the boy was too weak to succeed in this environment, Itachi could leave him and continue on alone.

"I plan to find a way out of here. I am going to try these courtyard areas, first." He looked at the boy for a moment. How to persuade him? "It would be easier with two people. Come with me."

Takaya snorted. He must have been really new if he thought that would work. Hell, if it worked, it worked. It wouldn't, but at least it was something to do.

"Okay," he said with a frown. "I'll go with you." He turned. "Courtyard's this way." He didn't bother waiting.
