The last stretch of hallway was even emptier than the previous one. Maybe people had learned to avoid the medical wing after last night. By all rights, she should have done the same.

Brushing that thought away, she glanced back at Kratos. "I did manage to explore part of the wing before night ended, though. Did you?"

"I'm okay now," Rita replied hastily as she continued walking. "But I don't know what sort of effect the drug's going to have. A lot of people who took it before were hallucinating, or something..." Which was Brook's warning to watch out for signs of that with her

Brook couldn't argue with the logic of doing something over sitting around. He'd taken the same approach to his own outings into the Institute. And it was what he would have done if he had the ability to do anything. Rita was clearly rattled, but she was at the very least pressing on. There was no fault in that

"Doesn't help if the enemy of my enemy is ready to stab us in the back the next chance he gets," Rita grumbled.

The flash of white startled him for how quickly it came and went and left him blinking at the ceiling in confusion. Just what was...? he thought first, then heard Rita's question and realized that he hadn't been seeing things. "Ah... I believe so...?" he blinked once more and looked down at her, "Something white

Something white... He saw the same thing, then. That was a relief to hear; it meant that Rita's senses weren't completely out of whack. But her relief didn't last long. What was that mist? Rita remembered how the military released some sort of gas on the patients before... but her eyes and nose didn't feel irritated, so it couldn't be the same thing.

Just what were they trying to pull...?

She was pulled from her thoughts when Brook made some irritating comments. "I'm not worried. And who are you calling scared!?" she snapped at him, stomping over to the Medical Wing entrance. The lock on the door appeared to be broken, and she was able to enter easily.
