Night 60: Main Hallway, 1-East

"Just this next hall?" she asked as they neared the far end of the main hall. Rapunzel hadn't been out to this wing of the Institute in a few days, not since she and Ippo had gone out to the Greenhouse yard. Agh, I should probably check in on him tomorrow. I don't think I did today, Rapunzel thought with a wince. Clueless flirt or not

“Okay,” replied Tsubaki. If Rapunzel wanted to push on, then it was her job to support her. And the disc was important; she understood why her friend wanted to figure out what might be on it. She wanted to, too. All of the people under Aguilar’s command who had risked themselves trying to undermine the Institute’s authority deserved equal effort on the part of the prisoners. “Let’s figure this out one way or another.”

Although it wasn’t helpful to get too excited over something that could either land them in a great deal of trouble or ultimately be of no value, Tsubaki did hope the disc told them something. Going to all this trouble for nothing would be disappointing at best.

At Rapunzel’s next question, Tsubaki used her finger to point the way and said, “Yes, the rooms just by the stairs here.”

It was quiet with just their hushed voices and muffled footsteps. No other prisoners seemed to be down this way--it was just them.
