[Tear is trying to do something with her Guide. Call someone, maybe? It doesn't seem to be working as she keeps getting "This call cannot be completed as dialed" "This number does not exist" "The person you are trying to reach is not available" and other such messages. With each attempt she seems to get a little more frantic, until she finally slams the Guide down. She's breathing slowly, carefully, as though she's trying to keep herself composed.
Then she grips the Guide tightly in one hand, and starts walking. She leaves her room and starts heading somewhere... it's hard to tell with the Guide in her hand, recording marvellous shots of the hallways. She goes up a flight of stairs, then bursts into a run as she reaches the next floor. She doesn't have too far to go, and the door opens with a rather muted sort of pleasantry. She runs across the very messy living room, skidding to a halt just in front of another door.
There's a long silence as she stares at the door, an almost palpable tension to the whole scene. Finally, she presses onward, asking the door to open in a rather shaky voice. The door responds simply with "Are you sure about that? I don't think you'll like what you'll see..." Her response is short, curt words, demanding it open and be done with it.
The room inside is cluttered, obviously well lived in. Even from the odd angle of the Guide, it's clear that it still looks as though it's occupied. However, the view of the Guide changes, falling to the floor. The upward angle shows Tear sinking to her knees beside a rather messy bed that sports a massive gift basket and nothing else. There's no sign of anyone else in the room, nothing to break the stillness apart from the slow, heavy breaths of the distraught young woman.]
