[ Last night was unpleasant, to say the least. There's something very wrong here, and the employees can't be trusted, but hiding in a hotel room for the remainder of the trip isn't really a viable solution, either. Room service inevitably means relying on the staff! If nothing else, they know that the food on offer is edible earlier in the day... Besides, during the day, everything creepy seems gone again.
Or so Alice thought. Hearing footsteps nearby without anyone there is definitely creepy, no matter what time of day it is! Each time he stops in his tracks, listening, glancing around, the sound ceases. No one appears. Yet whenever he takes a step, so do those invisible feet!
On edge, tension squeezes around his heart; it's pounding a wild beat in his chest.
There— The sound is back, as if it's pursuing him all the way to his shared room! Shin Tsukimi and Helena Adams probably won't be there yet, with other company to meet with and the like... In the middle of the corridor, Alice debates whether to tiptoe onward or to run. He hasn't even brought his knife with him!
And if the footsteps belong to someone moving around unseen... Holding his breath, he opts to tiptoe the rest of the way to the door. ]
