((OOC: For the characters who have emerged from this room! - and anybody who may just be wandering by, of course.))
[in one of the hallways, right next to a door, Light is huddled against the wall. he is sitting with his knees drawn up to his chest, arms wrapped tightly around his legs and forehead pressed down into them, face hidden. he's not sure how long has gone by since he emerged from the room beyond the door which he is sitting next to, and he's not in a state of mind to really care. he only stopped crying a few minutes ago, and now he just feels like a wrung-out dishrag - gray and empty and lifeless.
then he hears the sound of the handle turning, and the door opening - but still he doesn't look up. he wonders, idly, if maybe it's some terrible creature from within the room, maybe the ghost come to haunt him some more. but would she need to open the door? surely she'd just be able to float through the wall. the thought that he himself must be a ghost now has crossed his mind, but he seems as solid as anything.
without really thinking about it, he lets out a short, barking laugh.]
