There was no one in the hallway at all when the two reached the second floor. No sign at all of anyone, which struck him as strange since usually there were at least voices or light from other patients’ torches.

Siegfried did not want to linger in the hallway, not when it would put he and Xelloss at risk of being attacked.

“Stay close by,” he said, looking back over his shoulder at the dark-haired man.

Roy figured that Hughes had a point, even though he would have preferred to be more efficient about this process. Still, he would kick himself for missing something just because he decided to skip over an area he thought he'd already tried.

He made sure to move forward slowly, knowing that they shouldn't rush when they could potentially get ambushed from anywhere.
