>"NAAAAN!" Kim screams in agony. She claws at the furnace fixture, trying to drag herself out of the fire. >"DON'T LET ME DIE HERE! HELP ME! GET ME OUT! FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!"

The entire room shudders as the furnace kicks on.

Nan demands Henry help her. He does not move. Nan pulls the grate open. Within the walls of the room, something loud and metallic rattles. There is a strange noise. Nan asks Kim how she got in there. She says HE put her in there. She begs for help. Kim struggles. She screams that her leg...

Kim is badly burned. Nan quickly kneels down, trying to pull off the rusty grate covering the immense furnace. Nan turns to look at Henry. Henry stands frozen. He swears he didn't put her in there. He swears.

>"Help. Help me!" Nan investigates the voice coming from the smoldering furnace. >"Help me! Nan, get me out! I'm still alive! For the love of god, get me out!" Kim is in the furnace.

>"Help".

\ Nan asks how long ago this was. Henry says he's not sure, less than an hour probably? Nan asks how Henry took the stairs, if there are no stairs on the first floor. Henry says of course there are. Henry says he has no idea if there are any hidden passages or secrets around here.

Nan decides to hold off on Henry, even if she is relieved to see him. Now is not the time or place. Nan recovers some food and water from the supply stash, and also takes some unopened packs of CIGARETTES. Henry explains what's been going on: He says when he woke up in the room, Pablo and...

Nan shines her flashlight behind the tanks, and a familiar voice calls out in return as Henry steps into the light. "Oh thank god, it IS you!" he says with a sigh of relief. Henry wipes his brow, covered in sweat. He has a few minor injuries. He says he can't believe Nan's still all right...

Nan inspects the laid out supplies. Several tins of CANNED FOOD and some BOTTLED WATER are here. Looks like someone's stash. Also present are a few CIGARETTES.

Nan squints against the hazy darkness and shines her flashlight up into the thick smoke that lingers overhead. The weak beam of light barely fights back the choking black fog, but it's enough to see past the soot-caked water tanks and into the mess of criss-crossed pipes up above. Nan's eyes...

Nan has entered the JANITOR'S CLOSET.

Nan descends into the dim stairwell.

Nan opens the janitor's closet door. It appears to be more than just a closet. It opens to a steep, narrow stairway. Somewhere at the other end of the darkness below is a faint, shimmering light.

Nan examines the SEASIDE PAINTING. It depicts some sort of very primitive looking building made of stone, or perhaps clay, standing on a cliff by the seaside. A strange tower, perhaps some kind of lighthouse, stands beside it with a great bonfire burning atop it. The majority of the painting...

Nan exits the elevator and steps onto the MAIN LANDING at the ground floor. The lights are still on, for now.

Nan follows after Anna, heading towards the ladder. Nan is suddenly somewhere else. Nan is back in the HOTEL ELEVATOR.

Anna finishes her work a minute later, muttering that's as tight as it's going to get. She packs up her tools and goes to the ladder, descending carefully. She calls out that she's coming back down now.

Nan offers Anna the SCREWDRIVER. But as it does not seem to catch her attention, she places it in Anna's TOOLBOX. Anna rummages past it, then picks it up, commenting that it appears she did have a spare, after all. She goes back to work.

Anna drops her SCREWDRIVER, and it tumbles down the elevator shaft below. She curses quietly, reaching out for it in vain. After a moment she sighs, rummaging through her toolbox. Unable to find whatever she was looking for, Anna mutters that should be fine anyway.
