entranceway

What places do you go to often? We can rule those out.

Down here, the floor my room's on . . . that's about it, really.

Let's check the library and the first floor hallways.

Sure, that's a good enough place to start.

[He glances around as they walk, taking in his surroundings.]

[Souji's explored the Mansion more than Adachi has, and has been here longer, so he's hoping he'll be able to spot a new and strange door easily.]

[Adachi is definitely more interested in exploring his surroundings than he is in actually finding his door.]

[Souji picks up on that as they're wandering around the library.]

Stay focused.

I'm focused!

[No. You're not.]

[. . . no, he isn't. He's easily distracted as they pass by things, stopping to pick up a book and glance over at the back of it.]

[Souji has no idea what Adachi's door is going to look like.]

Can I see your key again?

Huh? Oh, yeah, sure.

[He pulls it out, keeping a firm grip on it, but lifts it up enough so that he can see it. It's a simple key, somewhat rusted, like it's a house key of sorts.]

[Souji looks at it closely, then thinks about this. The door should match the key at least a little. So... It's probably a pretty generic door. The kind to an apartment or padlock.

He leaves the library, making sure Adachi follows and starts to search the halls.]

[He follows along with a sigh. Sticking to the task at hand was hard sometimes.

The door itself can be found in one of the halls and is, indeed rather generic, like an apartment door. It probably wouldn't be noticeable! . . . if it didn't have "CAUTION" tape stretched over it.]

[The caution tape makes Souji stop right away.]

This is it. [He has absolutely no doubts.]

[Adachi stops as well and instantly makes a face.]

You think?

Try your key.

I'm getting to it, geez.

[He pulls the key out of his locket and attempts to slip it into the lock. The key fits in perfectly.]

[Souji looks from the key to Adachi expectantly. Go time, y/y?]

[He hesitates for a moment, although it seems more out of annoyance than anything. Heaving a sigh, he pushes the door open.]

Whatever this is, let's not make too big of a deal out of it, alright?

What do you think I'm going to do?

[Try to convert you? Jeez.

Souji follows him in.]

That thing you do.

[Oh, look, it's a memory playing out. In fact, it's this one.

How pleasant.]

[Souji doesn't respond because the memory starts up. He's silent while it plays out, watching the faces of his friends throughout. When it ends, he looks over at Adachi.]

That isn't exactly a secret anyway.

Talk about anti-climactic.

. . . I shouldn't complain, but c'mon!
