It was best to just focus on where he wanted to be, and that was the kitchen.

"Right," he said with a firm nod. He wasn't going to let this psych him out or anything, especially since the institute had conjured up way worse things for him in the past. He broke ahead, trying to move quickly without leaving his teammates in the dust.
