Inside an old building, near the bottom floor, Alex pushed a rusty key into a door's keyhole and unlocked it. Opening it, he stepped into a medium sized room. A long couch stood along one of the walls, facing a rectangular table surrounded by 5 chairs. A large screen TV was hoisted on the wall opposite the couch, ready to be turned on. Directly to the entrance's left was a small kitchen area, complete with a sink. Alex, Ray, Dan, Elise, and Emma all walked in.

"Eugh..." Ray covered her face, "Way too dusty."

Emma walked up to the curtains of the windows, revealing a sharp ray of sunlight. Dan turned on the light, bathing the room in a white light. The light also illuminated a small hallway leading to a bathroom.

"This place... kind of sucks." Dan complained as he closed and locked the door behind him.

"It's not all too bad. I mean... It's quaint. Sort of." Emma tried to look at the bright side.

"It needs a thorough clean-up." Elise whispered and walked to the bathroom.

"The TV here is so much bigger than the one I have in my room." Ray looked up at the black screen.

"You have a TV? I thought you lived in the hospital." Dan asked her.

"We have a really small one. It's usually for all the younger kids to watch stuff on. We don't get too many kids though, so I end up watching movies and stuff by myself." Ray explained as she struggled to find the remote.

Emma approached Alex, who looked a little distant. He didn't notice her until she said something.

"Hey, Alex." she got his attention, "Everything alright?"

"Yeah." Alex replied, "I'm good. Everything's fine."

"Is everything you learnt from Rana yesterday still bothering you?"

"How do you know about that?"

"Well, when your supposed team leader loses, the rest of the team finds out one way or another." she pointed back at the group.

"They told you, huh?" Alex sighed, "I guess right now isn't the time to be thinking about other things."

Alex walked towards the center of the room, standing directly in front of the dusty old table.

"There's no remote for the TV, Ray." he explained, "If you want to watch something, you'll have to do it using your disk. Before that, we really should clean this place up. If our team performs well, they'll transfer us to a bigger room on the higher floors."

"Then let's get started." Elise spoke out as she returned to the room, cleaning supplies in hand.

"Wow Dan, you suck at this." Ray annoyed him, pointing out his terrible cleaning skills.

Dan struggled with cleaning windows, "My specialty lies in customer service and stocking. Besides, aren't you the worst out of everyone here? You made a bigger mess that Elise had to clean for you."

"I-I can clean if I want to!" Ray's face flushed, "These clothes are just... they don't fit me. I can't grab anything without spilling it."

"I did want to ask actually." Emma wiped the sweat off her forehead as she was cleaning the kitchen, "What's up with your oversized clothes?"

"Well... I do have other clothes but I grew out of them. The hospital usually has me in a gown and in order to leave I have to wear clothes in the Lost and Found."
