The corridor is shadowy, illuminated only by a single bulb that flickers and hums like an angry insect. Dust floats in the pale light as a discordant symphony of knocking shakes your door. Zip's hissed question cuts through the noise. "Is there someone in there?" The others erupt into argument—Oliver barks a command, Engel glances toward the window, Bubble whimpers about vagrants. Miss Circle's powerful voice drowns them out. "Has it never crossed your minds to open the door immediately?" Miss Bloomie steps forward, key in hand. The lock turns with a definitive click. The door swings inward, exposing a packed hallway of familiar faces—all of them staring directly at you.
