Liwei pursed his lips and squeezed her hand. "I know the way." He turned the corner, then continued through a long, sterile hallway. The whitewash of the walls fed into his growing sense of unease. It was as if they were slowly caving in around him, despite their clean, white stasis on each side of the two. At last they approached a heavy door, marked with warning labels and a keypad. Liwei glanced at the pad for a moment and then to the door itself. It was cracked open.

Mona presses closer to Liwei as a chilly wind leaks past him through the cracked door. Her heart begins to race. She whimpers and tightens her grip on Liwei's hand, unable to will herself to let go. He didn't seem like he'd hurt her. She peers past him, hoping to get a glance at whatever horrors lay in the open room beyond..
