Circus 1920

chapter four

On the third day, Finally Aelon found the dark room on the 3rd floor. Aelon pressed the switch near the table to turn on the red light in the dark room.

Aelon started wearing rubber gloves and experimental glasses to stay safe, then he took three chemical bottles and poured the 3 chemicals that were on the table, namely developer, stop bath and fixer, and poured them into each bottle.

Developer is a chemical that works to change the hidden latent image on the film into a visible image.

The stop bath is used to stop the developer reaction on the film, while the fixer is useful for keeping the image that has been formed on the film so that it remains stable and does not change.

Aelon took the thermometer in the basket at the end of the table and began measuring the temperatures of each of the 3 chemicals. He must ensure that the temperature of the chemical is the same as stated in the writing on each bottle.

When the temperature is the same as stated, then Aelon takes 2 tanks and pours the developer and stop bath into each different basin.

Aelon started to take out the roll of film and polaroid from his bag, then he dipped the polaroid first into the tank containing the developer and reached for his smartwatch to set the timer for 5 minutes, after 5 minutes Aelon flipped the polaroid over and moved it to the stop bath tank and added a little fixer into it.

Aelon set the time again and flipped the polaroid again. After that he poured ordinary water into the new tank and rinsed it.

Aelon also tied a rope to the two poles in front of the table to hang the polaroid to dry with clothespins, he also did the same thing with the roll of film.

Now Aelon just had to wait until the image came out slowly. Aelon decided to leave the dark room because he felt it was taking too long just to wait for the image to appear, it would be better if he looked for another tool.

Now Aelon wants to look around the mension's backyard.

Aelon went down the stairs to the 2nd floor and started exploring it.
He was surprised why the photos that had previously disappeared after he had finished chasing HeeHee had now reappeared! Aelon continued to observe the photos along the 2nd floor corridor and concluded that all these photos were HeeHee's daily life when he was still alive.
