Nightshift 36: Main Hallway, 2-West

No one else appeared to be in the hallway. It should've been good news, but Archer still found it disconcerting. There were usually other patients around by now, but he couldn't be certain. His sense of time felt off in this place.

He might as well move on, since he was short on time. Not to mention that he didn't want to risk getting attacked.

Anise was grateful that Xelloss didn't have anything to say about the embarrassing stumble. Most of her friends would rub it in with some light teasing, and the ones who wouldn't would still rub it in unintentionally by asking if she was okay. This way, it was easy enough to put it behind her and keep moving. Quickly, but not too quickly.

The girl caught up to her partner in no time, matching his smile with one of her own. Just as he said, there was a faint glow from the direction of the Sun Room, and visibility was a little better, but Anise decided not to run ahead again, for the sake of avoiding any more embarrassing incidents.

There were more people up there than Anise had expected, and she gave a somewhat disappointed look as she glanced around. The last thing she wanted was competition for these prizes. Oh well! If she wanted to avoid that, then they would just have to keep moving without stopping.

She smiled back at him, so he turned his attention back to the hallway and their destination. They could still possibly get what they were looking for, if they kept moving. And if they didn't get it, it was hardly worse than Anise's track record so far on following clues.

Xelloss did wonder what sort of item it would be. He only knew about the radio prizes in passing, and had never even considered looking for one before. He doubted it would be anything he'd particularly want. But he couldn't complain, since after all, he'd already met someone else interesting thanks to his volunteering.
