She walked through the hospital's doors and shuddered, Mono had told her that the mannequins move around in the dark, and all she had for light was the lighter she'd found before getting trapped on the maw.
"Good thing you and Mono already found the fuses the last time you were here, right?" Shadow asked though it spooked Six, almost making her lose grip of the bed she was climbing up.
Shadow was getting less and less talkative as they got closer to the signal tower.
When Six reached the hospital's child waiting room, she spotted yet another hat. The hat looked like a decapitated teddy bear head but she simply put it into her raincoat pocket with the six other hats she had collected on the way there.

She was relieved that she didn't have to encounter the mannequins but she was skeptical if the doctor was still alive. Even though she did remember hearing him scream at them to let him out of the incinerator, he did smell good as he burned alive.
She got to safety and continued her journey through the hospital. She looked behind the door and found a set of bandages, but it wasn't out of place in the hospital. Six decided to put it into the hat pocket just for safekeeping, marking it the seventh she had found, and she continued exploring the hospital. Everything went by without a hitch until they reached the elevator shaft that she and Mono broke when exploring.
"How the hell am I supposed to get across this?" she whispered to her shadow,
"Remember when you and Mono got too far apart, you'd end up teleporting to him, once you hummed that music box melody?" her shadow asked. It might have been a strange question to ask, but she did remember something like that happening when Mono and she got separated.
"Yeah, but what does that have to do with anything?" she hissed, "it never worked whenever I was captured by the bullies or the one who must not be named," her shadow looked a bit confused but then understood what she meant.
"It might have been because of me," Shadow finally said.
"But I didn't meet you until you made me drop him!!" Six said, almost in tears,
"I was always there, I just never showed myself," Shadow replied, calming Six down. She eventually decided to test it, so Six let Shadow float to the other side and then hummed the melody and sure enough, she teleported to the other side to her shadow.
"Thank you..." she said to Shadow and it nodded. The two continued on and finally got to the exit of the hospital. Six looked at her shadow, "From here on out, we're on our own devices," Shadow nodded in agreement.
