Nan quickly asks Pablo if the things are injured by the light, or if they just avoid it. He says as far as he knows they just avoid it, and if they stay... ...but Pablo doesn't finish his sentence.

Nan and Pablo step out into the hallway again. Pablo freezes. Nan keeps the fire axe firmly in-hand. The hall light hasn't come back on. It looks like a standing light is lit, however -- though it's not standing anymore.

Nan takes the axe and Pablo checks the peephole. He says it looks like the light is back on in the hallway.

Nan continues to insist. The only way they stand a chance is together. Pablo considers and finally yields. He hands Nan the fire axe and tells her to keep an eye out, and to cover him if trouble arrives. It's never easy. They'll wait for the lights, move quick, head straight to the janitor's...

Nan grabs Pablo by the shoulders and insists that he not leave her alone. There is strength in numbers, after all. If they split up, Pablo could be in danger too. Pablo assures Nan he's done this before, that he knows what this place is like. She doesn't know what she's up against ye

Splitting up rarely works well....

Nan says she's not hungry now, but it would be good to have something for later. Or at least know where she could get food around here. Pablo stands, nodding. He says he is going to go to the Janitor's closet and see if there's any canned food left there. That's what he's been eating since he...

Nan asks Pablo how long he's been here, and what the date and time are. He says he doesn't know how long he's been here -- maybe seven or eight days. He says when he came here, it was the 14th of October, and when Nan arrived it was the 24th, so he's been here for ten days. Pablo shrugs at...

The rat, discovered, quickly scurries into the hole. Nan asks Pablo if these things might be attacking the wiring, forcing blackouts. Pablo says he thinks the blackouts aren't purely electrical... that he knows Nan is new here, but surely even she can tell there is more at work here than bad...

Nan is certain she saw something. Pablo grabs his axe and holds it at the ready, and on his signal, Nan pulls the dresser back quickly. ...there's a rat sniffling behind the dresser, near a small rathole where an outlet used to be.

Nan asks if Pablo is sure nothing can hurt her in the light. He pauses, glancing down, then quietly admits he is not completely certain. But it certainly has seemed that way from what he's observed in the past. Nan jumps suddenly, pointing at the dresser. She tells Pablo something has moved...

Did whatever it is behind the dresser on the right just change?

Nan demands to know exactly WHAT they're safe from. Pablo tells her to calm down again. He says in the time that he's been here, he hasn't figured out exactly what those things are. But when the lights go out, they find their way in. Those uninvited things. He tries to reassure Nan. He...

Nan takes a deep breath and sits on the bed, trying to calm herself. Pablo sits as well. He places the FIRE AXE on the bedside dresser, evidently having noticed Nan's worried looks at it. He assures her he would never use it on a person. After a few moments, Nan takes a breath and asks quietly...

Nan freaks out and begins demanding answers in a panic. The man places a hand on her shoulder and nods once, saying she's had a bad scare, but she's going to be okay. He says she shouldn't worry. Just calm down, and keep her voice down. The man from Room 117 introduces himself as Pablo.

Nan tries to catch her breath. The man nods calmly, and tries to reassure her. He says it's all right, she's safe now.

Nan hesitates only for a moment, and then dives into Room 117, spinning around to see an unfamiliar man close and bolt the door.

The window should be at the end of the hall. It would be relatively easy to find. Nan fumbles and draws out the ALARM CLOCK, but it provides no real illumination! The door to Room 117 opens. A hurried voice comes from the other side, telling Nan to get inside!

Nan stumbles, trying to find her way. Something is approaching in the darkness, making soft, shuffling noises.

There's a window at the very end of the hall, some distance after the door to Room 117, but for some reason it's dark outside. Nan tries the door to Room 116. The lights go out.
