Night 48: West Wing, South Hall 1-A
[from here]Another hallway, which meant that he needed to slow his steps to a jog and turn on his flashlight. His light shifted over the walls quickly, up, down, around him, and even toward the floor, as if little black heads with yellow beady eyes would suddenly pop out and attack him. Though he didn't have any idea what most of the monsters

Xemnas entered another corridor shrouded in darkness, which - after calmly gazing around the area - proved to be devoid of any presence; patient nor monster were wandering the darkness. Neither was there a sign of a Heartless, yet their lacking presence was one the Nobody had come to expect even despite such curiosity. Naturally, they would have little interest in one that held no essence to consume, but every world held a natural population of these inky shadows.
This Landels Institute was remarkably different.
Choosing to retrace the steps he had taken one night prior, he headed into the direction of the main hallway.

She turned the corner quickly and traced the wall, staying clear of the other patients as she continued. Time here seemed to pass so strangely. Some nights lasted forever while others were over in a blink. It was hard to say what might happen on any given night and harder to explain away, but for now it wasn't her concern. There was more to worry about than that.
Her shoes hardly made a sound as she moved on, intent on her target. Did she dare pursue the questions from earlier today? Or should she ask Kakashi or the others? As much as she wanted to know, it seemed like it would be so much more meaningful coming from Sasuke directly. But he'd made it fairly clear that he had no intention of telling her, saying it was none of her concern. Was it because he didn't want the information spread further? Or was it some strange way of protecting her from it? The first was more believable, but she didn't completely discount the second either. With the small things he'd done thus far, it was still a possibility.

The hallway was empty when Mihai turned the corner; was he early then, or had time utterly escaped him for the second night in a row? He could only hope for the former. Those gathered here even from his own world--a concept Mihai still had trouble grasping--had a remarkable talent for getting into the worst luck. Being no exception, Mihai thought it better that they at least face it as a group. Maybe. Then again, who knew what sort of horror might come about if that many unfortunate souls stood in the same hall for a period of time?
Given what he'd learned about the Institute, Mihai decided he'd rather not consider it as he continued.

Peter let out a sigh of relief when he made it out of the block without a hitch. It had been right before leaving it that he'd been attacked by Roland, so he'd been unable to shake that nervous feeling. Still, it looked like he was safe for now. He knew that Roland was gone and that that had all been a terrible fluke, but the darkness of the hallways could make anyone anxious.
In any case, he had to keep moving. He felt bad about the fact that he was actually traveling away from the meeting spot for the paramedic stuff so that he could check on Nathan, but he thought that most people would understand. He needed to know for sure, even if this had caused him to lose a whole night the last time he'd tried.
Basically, he was expecting to find no one there. Nathan would have gotten a hold of him by now if he was capable of doing so. Still, Peter had to see for himself. Once he'd made his suspicions into facts, he'd head back to M7, and hopefully not be too late. Sighing, the man continued up the hall.
