Obtaining her room and bidding farewell to her manager, Ayane entered the elevator and headed towards her room on the second floor. However, as she walked Ayane was aware of one thing. 

Skinfaxi's reading was getting stronger. In fact, with each step she took towards her room it was getting stronger and stronger. Was it an intruder? That couldn't be; she had just booked her hotel room moments ago.

Reaching the door, Ayane let go of her luggage and prepared herself to react instantly if it was indeed a trap. Ready, Ayane used her card key and opened the door to reveal Natsuki, who had forgotten to hack the hotel's system so that this room would be marked as taken. 

"...excuse me," Ayane said in a surprised voice to conceal the fact she knew someone was in here, "...this... this is my room."
