Mio waited patiently during that moment of hesitation, finding herself easily adjusting to the slight delay that came before she spoke. She looked around the room once more as the voice referred to it, taking in the absence of monsters and ghosts. The tunnels, the morgue, the study, the coat closet - that was in the entrance room, right? - and two bedrooms. She recalled the clean bedroom as being Koizumi's, though it took her a few moments to recall which bedroom was the thinnest, eventually deciding that it must have been the one to the left of Sasori's bedroom. She hadn't gotten a good look at all of them, of course, but she wasn't sure that anything smaller could have passed as a bedroom.

The room she was presently in was probably the most noteworthy mention, if only because it was the closest to her own bedroom. The tunnels as well, given that they were so close to the kitchen. She considered everything, committing it to memory before finally speaking up again. "I see...thank you." She paused once more, considering her next question before asking it. "...are there any hostile ghosts tonight?" Ghosts were the one thing that she could handle, even if she'd been steadily failing at doing so ever since she came here, but still, if it was possible...she wanted to be aware of them and perhaps even try and avoid them.
