[I'm assuming so. I'm going to give it to you, and it boosts Eupha's allegiance with you tenfold. She's frightened but determined to help you now, people are getting HURT.

You knock on the door. This one takes a second knock, before:]


...Hello? May I help you?

[ oof; that's nothing the real eupha hasn't seen before, but he's sure that's not the case for this one. though... he's not sure how much it really matters what happens to this one. as real as everything here had once seemed, now he understands again what this is. it's just one of those things that happens every week, and this eupha is just part of the scenery.

he probably doesn't even need to come up to the 6th floor when this last room number on his list doesn't match any of the ones bill and beverly gave him. but it is on the list, so he doesn't feel like he can just leave this last person hanging.

...taair opens the door, and he's glad he came up here after all. it's not a big surprise to see who it is, not after encountering eupha. especially way up here on the 6th floor, the closest anyone in this building can get to being up in a tower. at least this is one tower fidelio can get him out of.

once again, he's not wasting time on pleasantries; he's quick and to the point. ]


Yeah, you can, actually. There's a mass murderer in this building, so I'm gonna need you to hurry up and get outta here. Let's go.

[It is the closest to a tower he'll get. At least this one he can walk out of. Taair doesn't look ready to, not with the way his jaw drops and he stammers out.]

A m-mass murderer?

[That's when Eupha steps into the frame, white in the face and pointing to the stairwell.]

He's not lying! There's blood all over...people are being hurt! You must come with us! Please!

[Taair squawks, looking mortified between them. Then he nods.]

All right! I'll...I'll do it! Just a moment!

[He dashes in, stepping into outdoor shoes and snatching essentials. Coat and a wallet, small bag. Stops momentarily to look back at a pile of books on the dresser, but thinks better of it for now.]

Let's go!

[All together now, you make to leave.]
