NIGHTSHIFT 52: M31-M40 Hallway

[Currently M36]Touya had thought that the last vestiges of his exhaustion due to the drain of his power had all but vanished, but apparently it had made one last stand. Touya awoke briefly when his nurse had brought in dinner, the last thing he remembered being talking with Yue in the hall

Mihai had nothing particularly noteworthy to show for his day, save for an assignment from a kid with big ambitions. Not that he automatically assumed this Sora wouldn't do well because of his age. He just thought that failure would be highly likely, due to an abundance of optimism over experience. But if Mihai turned out to be wrong, it'd hardly be for the first time in his life. And he didn't have so much of an ego to back out of his commitment. So, he'd started gathering supplies not long after the doctor announced the beginning of night, having spent several moments studying the map he got from Badou first.

Which must have taken longer than he thought, because shortly after Mihai headed down the hall, he was treated to Landel's brand of a light show. The announcement hadn't impressed, simply due to the fact that Mihai knew where he stood on the scale of life, thanks. He didn't need any reminders to know he'd killed too many people, stained his soul too black to barely be considered a man. Looked like their host had no end of ways to piss him off.

At least the lights being on (as much as they were) made traveling the halls easier. He made the right instead of the left he had been about to take, and headed for the main corridor.
