When they passed the Sun Room, there was a whole lot less of a crowd. Guess nobody was interested in heading down this way yet. Though that just meant if there was something nearby, it’d be coming for the nearest easy targets: him and Leon.

Ah well.
Although the doll moved without obvious signs of caution, he scoped out as much of their surrounding area as possible, masking what noise he could when he was wearing flimsy slippers. Hey, maybe he could at least grab some shoes from the patient possessions room, if nothing else. He missed shoes. When he reached the stairwell door, he paused for one moment, glancing back at the figure behind him--you never could tell if something was going to come flying out with teeth and claws, after all--before opening it.
