Night 57: F11-20 Hallway
Well, that was different. Anise had expected the military's announcement to be brief and to-the-point, but what actually came was a full-on rant. It looked like even Aguilar had a nutty side, too. Both him and Landel kept acting like they were doing everyone a favor with all their twisted plots. Who did they think they were fooling? They were both

She hadn't even argued with them. She'd just let Ilia decide, and leave, and now all she could do was wait and see if the other woman came back in one piece.
Aguilar didn't let her ruminate on that for long, though; the intercom switched on, and off, and on again.
Bribery and blackmail in the same offer, hmm? Aguilar must be getting a little desperate. A time limit, perhaps? Or ego, the driving need to prove himself better than that man ( ... )

He sure is long-winded.
That was Utena's first thought upon the completion of the broadcast. She had completely finished changing by the time he was finished talking, and that was saying something. In addition to the address just being long, however, Utena did get some useful information. Namely, an explanation of pins, and a new method for getting both them and weaponry. Not that she needed any weapons, but she supposed that sort of thing would be useful for other patients. So long as the drugs didn't kill anyone first, anyway.
They'd better not. If I hear anything about that on the bulletin in the morning... Utena grit her teeth, taking her sword firmly in hand ( ... )

Utena started in her own hallway, just to keep things simple. Who knew? Maybe she and Renamon were neighbours. Maybe Renamon even had her old room. And so, Utena started opening doors and poking her head into them, the same as she had the night before looking for Himemiya. "Helloooo? Renamon?" she called quietly into one. "You in there?" she called into another.

Soma glanced around the connecting hall as she passed through it again: still no sign of anyone who matched Tsubaki's description. That was...worrying, to say the least. Surely they couldn't have both been taken for experimentation. That was just too improbable to be true. But what were the alternatives? That they had both been released? That they had arrived earlier and left without Soma? Neither seemed likely.
There was a girl with pink hair here who was also going from door to door. Soma hesitated for only a moment before approaching; there was a chance she might have seen Rapunzel or Tsubaki, and given the number of people she'd passed in the hall, there was a chance Soma might have seen whoever this girl was looking for, too.
"Excuse me," she said, "but have you seen two girls pass by here? One's about my height, with blonde hair down to the floor at least, and one's quite tall, with dark hair in a ponytail."

And it was at that moment Utena found herself being addressed. "Eh?" Utena blinked, turning to face the unfamiliar girl. Sounded like she was looking for someone too. "Not so far, sorry. And I was watching out there for a while," she answered, nodding toward the F-A hall. "You haven't found them in any of the rooms yet?"
