Night 60: Main Hallway, 1-Center

[roseoverture]

[From here]Looked like she was the first one out this way. Utena stopped just short of the Sun Room, turning her light back to see if anyone she knew was coming up the hall behind her. No one so far

"How much further down are the doctor's offices again?" Rapunzel asked Tsubaki, shifting the hair in her arms again as they walked. Light as it was in sections, holding it all in a bundle for that long at a time did wear on her arms a little at times.

The trip to the main hallway was as close to peaceful as the Institute ever got, which was something to be thankful for. No dead bodies. No eerie pink glow. Tsubaki could live without either of those things, even if it meant she also had to go without her weapon modes.

Speaking of powers, Rapunzel’s hair was back to a relatively short length with the suppression back in place. Tsubaki was also grateful the other girl wasn’t having to drag it across a soiled floor anymore--that had been a really unfortunate consequence of getting attacked by those dragonflies. Given that Rapunzel’s arms were full having to carry what hair remained, Tsubaki was ready to intercept anything that might pop out at them, the image of her scythe held in her mind’s eye.

“Not far at all,” she said. “How are you doing, by the way? Are you sure you want to do this?”

Last night had been… well, it had been an experience, to put it lightly.

Rapunzel gave Tsubaki a firm nod back. "I'm fine, don't worry. There's no way I'd not want to do this. I mean, the sooner we check this out, the better, right?" she reminded her roommate, conviction quiet but clear. She was determined to do something right after last night's fiasco, and after almost outing the both of them to Harrington before that. How could she not want to make it up to herself and Tsubaki? And to everyone in the Instiute who might benefit from the information they might have, for that matter?
