Oh.
Wait.
That's not the sun.
It's ice and snow. Tons of it, packed in tight all around the hotel, and seemingly not going anywhere anytime soon.
...Funny. The weatherman didn't call for a sudden, highly-localized blizzard. Impenetrable containment fields? Also probably not on the 7-day forecast.
Oops?

But by the time she's crossed the lobby, finding her coat and taking it off the hangar, the brightness from outside definitely has her wary.
Especially when she tries to open the door -- Haruka immediately gets danger signs going off in her head not to try prying it open. Not unless she wanted the lobby to flood with huge packs of snow.
"Um... everyone...?" Haruka calls, though not very loudly. Maybe it was just a prank someone had done on the hotel, covering the door with snow like that. She didn't remember anything about a blizzard today...

Beatrice has been standing behind Haruka the entire time, looking perplexed. Not good in that now she's now stuck in the same place, but...she could still have her cake and eat it since everyone else is stuck as well.
Of course, she's not going to make her planned shenanigans known to Haruka at this very moment. "Well, it has been frightfully cold out as of recent; move aside. Just for precautionary measures---it is still snowing out---I'm going to seal the door shut until it stops, just to avoid an avalanche."
And with that, Beatrice snaps her fingers---which are glowing---and thick chains made of light quickly wrap themselves around the door.
She may have other purposes in mind for doing so besides preventing everyone from being buried in snow.

He rounded on Beatrice as if to accuse her of doing it.

And then, seeing the press of white up against the doors, decided it would... probably be for the best if he went to clean up the kitchen. A lot. For a good portion of the next hour or two. Where almost nobody would be. Yes.

"Um," she tried speaking up, looking toward her floormate, "the snow was there before she came by. I don't know what caused it." She frowned somewhat, looking back outside - though the chains kind of hindered her view.
Something made her turn around, though, and she noticed Edgeworth hurriedly going off somewhere. Haruka's mouth twitched in response, her premonition abilities telling her to go after him - which she did. If he knew something, then maybe there was a way out.

Wrong.
That was what he got for wearing that particular suit, really. Hard to miss a fellow standing around in shades of purplish-red.
"May I help you?" he asked, trying to hide his nervousness.

Haruka narrowed her eyes a little, examining Edgeworth carefully. The nervousness was apparent, and, like Mamoru would, she needed to investigate. "Do you know what happened?" she asked slowly, watching his face for any signs of a clue.

He cleared his throat and busied himself hiding in the main food storeroom under the pretense of counting cans of creamed corn and such.

"Oh my stars and garters."

"Is that ice? How did that get there?"

"More than ice, it looks like a blizzard! But...is that something beyond it?"
He made up his mind, and shielding his eyes, he walked through the door.

He moved closer to the door to try to look out and watch the furry man.

He made it about twenty feet before he saw any kind of break in the white. At a certain point, it just stopped As he reached toward the boundary, he got a better idea, and ended up knocking on some kind of barrier. This would have to be tested.
