While the lack of meals was a problem for Cave, he assumed that Caroline was simply working on a project. And after dinner was skipped, Cave was hungry curious enough to want to know what she was up to. He tries the door, and finds it locked. Well, now that was odd.

"Hey Caroline? The doors locked. What are you doing in there?"

The sounds stop for only a second before there's the loud sound of glass shattering. Whatever broke must have been large and heavy because the floor shook a bit from the impact.

The response worries Cave, who skips straight to busting the door down. It's not a clean break, and the door will be beyond repair, but that's for another time. He stumbles in past the remains of the door.

"Caroline! Did you not hear me!? What are you doing?"

The room is littered with papers, all of which leave almost no free room between notes and diagrams written in red and black inks. The floor, her dresser tops and the walls near the door are covered with them, tacked up and spread out methodically. On the floor was a heap of broken glass, Cabrakan's gift now shattered to pieces. Caroline doesn't even look up at Cave or his entrance, in the middle of writing on the wall above her bed. She was still dressed in what she wore yesterday, her hair stuffed unceremoniously into a ponytail.
