Night 47: Main Hallway, 2-Center
[from here]It was times like this he had to wonder if he was the only damn person in this place who still cared about finding the fastest way home possible. Which probably wasn't true, but hell. Seeing as the only people he'd worked with so far had 'stealing books' as a goal or were setting up training nights, it was no damn wonder he was feeling

More explanations would have to wait until later, Erika realized, as they stepped further down the hall. A glance at their surroundings confirmed her assumption that they were now right above the Sun Room, but it was occupied already; by a pair battling what looked like a truly grotesque monster. From her vantage point, Erika couldn't even make the thing out as a human, so "monster" was really the only way to describe it.
How fascinating! She wanted to get closer and observe how the monster fought, but even she wasn't quite willing to risk it. Her detective's authority had already been stripped... Who knew what other stupid rules might have been placed on the gameboard? One that prevented her from dying could have been introduced. There was no rule against the death of a detective, though that was because no one was stupid enough to kill the main character. Troublesome!
She looked to the north, nodding her chin to a room across the way that was barely visible in the moonlight. The doors were quite large and already open; so long as the monster remained distracted, it looked like a safe enough distance to observe.
"Over there," She whispered to the man, though whether he would follow was up to him. What a shame if he died, she didn't get his name yet. Erika hoped it wouldn't come to that.

At least the girl had remained useful thus far. A detective (or so she said, as it was certainly remarkable she was so young of age. At least it explained her behavior of confirming that what she had been told) named Furudo Erika, and it was a name she desired in return. The name of a nonexistent man, but Xemnas had been about to offer it regardless when it became apparent that such matters would have to wait.
The scene that unfolded as they continued down the hall was a remarkable one. Aside from the obvious landmark that was the railing overlooking an unidentified area in the middle, the hall was a battle field. A pair was in the progress of battling a monster Xemnas could not quite identify. It was most certainly not a Heartless, nor anywhere similar to the rat he had encountered earlier. It would seem these 'monsters' were rather varied in appearance, yet it leaved their capabilities up to debate.
He, too, wished to observe it further in the hopes of discovering what it was capable of, yet the situation was a dangerous one. Without his abilities readily available, it would be unwise to remain within harm's way. It was no matter of cowardice, he could not even experience anything near the emotion of 'fear', but a mere case of being practical.
For now, he decided to follow the young girl. He was unfortunately not familiar with their current surroundings, though he noticed the door in the direction Erika had nodded in.
