They walked along the hallway while Yume was holding his sleeve. It was a good thing. This way they won't be separated. Kiku kept looking at the walls in case some kind of paper is stuck on them, also perhaps a bulletin or announcement board. Though, unfortunately, he hasn't seen one.

Yume then spoke, "Kiku. Let's look for something useful that could help us escape." Kiku nodded and both of them stopped as they got near another room, "Oh. In here." Kiku walked in with Yume after she went and entered first. "Careful now..." There might be more of those broken floorboards with all the holes and cracks. Luckily there were none.

It was dark inside, but the light from the hallway were somehow enough to light up the room. Kiku smelled something and continued sniffing to be sure. [I]'There is something in here... I'm not sure what.'[/I] As they went inside more in the room, both of them observed their surroundings. The smell was getting strong. [I]"Kiku look! I found someone!"[/I] Yume said excitedly. "Really?!" he faced where she ran to and saw that there's a silhouette of a person there. 

Quickly he went to where Yume was, but she suddenly stopped and fell down. "A-Are you alright?!" he asked as he went beside her. She seemed fine, however, she looks pretty pale all of a sudden and her face was filled with horror. Clearly something was wrong. Looking at the [I]'person'[/I], "A c-c-corpse?!" and he moved back in surprise. "W-What is this?" It was unbelievable. So this was what giving off the smell. This was actually not one of the Halloween jokes after all. Kiku suddenly had a thought, 'What if...?' His face lost its colors as he went towards the corpse. He just had to confirm it.

The corpse wore a different uniform, and although it was decaying, the face was still recognizable and it wasn't one of their friends. His condition's attacking again, but he's somehow managing to suppress it. What seriously is happening here?

[I]"It's a shame, isn't it?"[/I] a grim voice spoke behind Yume and Kiku. Turning around fast, a man stood there. No, not exactly a man... A ghost? [I]'F-For real?'[/I] Now a ghost has appeared, where exactly are they? Was the story told earlier actually true? "Who are you?" The ghost suddenly moved and Kiku went to Yume quick, in case he tries something. Though, the spirit only knelt in front of the corpse and began writing on his notebook. He seems to be doing an autopsy of the body, [I]'What for?'[/I]. Afterwards he introduced itself as a teacher named [I]Kei[/I]. "Kei-sensei then..?" he's not particularly scared of the ghost for some reason, even though it was something so unreal. Maybe because it's not giving any sense of danger. "So you're a teacher... here?" If he was, then he might be able to answer their questions. "Can you tell us where we actually are?" Kiku asked.
