Nightshift 34: Main Hallway, 1-West

The shinigami padded silently down the hallway, keeping to the left-side wall and her hand upon her sword's hilt. Her eyes scanned the area surorunding her as she continued on to the next hallway, especially the nurses' stations as she neared them. This would be a horrible time for her to get attacked by a nurse or two. Thankfully, the halls were empty, btu she didn't drop her guard. She knew better.

Almost there.

It was good to see Kaiji smiling for once, and Sora could only assume that the other man enjoyed being a help. That was more or less normal, though, unless someone happened to be antagonistic (which Kaiji was not, as far as Sora could tell).

But they were going to have to get moving if they wanted to be the first to the autopsy room, so Sora didn't hesitate in turning toward the stairs with flashlight in hand. "Okay, let's go! Just stay close to me, okay?" Sora glanced over his shoulder at the other man with a small smile.

He clicked the flashlight on and directed the beam at the steps, not wanting to trip over them by accident. There were hardly ever monsters waiting in the stairwell, so he was able to have some confidence in his step as he made his way up.

Kaiji's face quickly snapped back to a serious expression. It was time for them to move forward, and he was fully aware that their night was only beginning. He had been screwed over too many times before by getting overconfident thanks to the little victories that he had earned or more often was given. False security was never a good thing. "Right with you all the way," he answered compliantly. As if he was going to wander off on his own and get himself killed. He wasn't like some people.

With that, Kaiji shoved his inactive flashlight under his left arm and began to follow Sora up the steps, moving slightly more slowly and using the feel and rhythm of the stairs to avoid tripping rather than relying on sight.
