Night 58: Main Hallway, 1-Center
[from here]Turning the corner, Vino found that, in fact, he was very much early, it seemed. Huh. There was no one yet in this central hallway, though if he looked back towards the west side of the building, that strange person with the unnatural-looking white hair had gone down that end of the big hallway. He could still see the whiteness of their

How long had he been waiting again?
Vino didn't know, but he decided that he really, really didn't do the 'waiting patiently' thing. Standing around and waiting was never his plan of action, ever. Could it even be called a 'plan of action' if he wasn't even moving anywhere? Probably not.
Eventually, he had stopped being the only one in the hall. Vino had watched, making sure the kid didn't accidentally pass by and miss him, or something. But he’d seen no one even close.
Sometime during the course of his extended wait, he'd started switching the flashlight on and off, on and off, because he'd seen someone else do it when they passed by toward the other hall where the white-haired person had gone. Then he'd gone to swinging the metal bar around, perhaps drawing odd stares by people who passed by, but Vino didn't care. Hey, it was practice, right? And he was bored.
But it looked like the kid was going to be a no-show. How disappointing. And rude, but right now, Vino's more distressed by the fact that it seems he won't get to witness magical healing tonight after all.

Where to now? Right, right, his list! Maybe he should have written down locations so he could figure out where exactly he was going to cover tonight. That would be more… organized, right?
…Whatever, too much trouble! He could pretend he wrote it down later. It counted so long as it was on paper, right?
A second later, Vino was turning right and heading west, according to the map he had, if he were remembering correctly. He'd meant to check that upstairs corridor before. Vino hated leaving things finished halfway. Time to get that over with tonight, at least.
