I slept all the way here, so I'm not sure where is it located. A summary, after I ran out of Michael's bedroom I decided to do a tarot reading to relax.

But mmm it didn't exactly came out the way I wanted, change is coming, the cards said... the devil and the lovers also appeared but I wasn't sure how to interpret that so the reading ended giving me more anxiety.

The time passed and we had to go, sadly... Ana never came back. I knew she wouldn't, when she hugged me before she left I saw it. I saw her dying, of course I didn't tell her and if my vision was clear then at least she'll be with all her family when... that happens.

The steps from my bedroom to the car felt like making a pact with the devil, the steps that'll save my life and ignore everyone else. At least I had Amon with me.

I took a nap next to Michael and when I woke up we were already here. As it was dark I wasn't sure what I was seeing.

"It a solarium" Michael said, once again answering things that I had only mentioned in my head.

"So the glass is going to protect us? Are you for real?" I was getting a little mad.

"This is the outside, the real thing is underground. Think of the solarium as a restriction method." Michael said

"Let's go" he said as he opened the door.

I put Amon inside his cage because I was scared of him running away and then I joined Michael.

"The servants are bringing the remaining things while I show you the inside and your new bedroom" he said as he took a card out of his wallet.

He slide it over the lock and I heard a click sound. Michael opened the door and waited for me to come in. This thing looked different with the lights on, it had some weird circle in the middle with a big tube above it.

"What is that for?" I asked

"If you're lucky you'll never find out. But just in case it's a type of shower. To clean radiation from clothes and stuff. In case I ever have to go out or any other member of the cooperative comes." Michael explained.

"Follow me downstairs, and be careful where you step on" he said opening some kind of secret door.

When we finally stopped and Michael turned the lights on I was really impressed. This place was huge, the first thing you could see was the huge paintings, with a big lamp in the middle and a huge fireplace. All the house had the same style, weird and solemn it wasn't really that inviting but sadly this was all that was left. Michael showed me the two floors from beginning to end and then he showed me my bedroom.  It was on the second floor, almost at the corner of the hallway.

"You can leave Amon here and do what you want meanwhile" Michael said opening the door. The bedroom wasn't that bad to be honest, but it lacked what all the house lacked of, windows. It's obvious since we were underground but still, this simple detail will be a constant reminder that we would never go out anymore.

My bedroom had the same victorian style, a black dosel on the bed, huge walls, big pillows and candles everywhere.

"What are all the candles around the house for" I asked a little curious.

"We'll only have electricity for today, but when the bombs hit there will be no more. That's why there are so many candles everywhere" Michael explained.

"Oh, like the old times" I said taking Amon out of the cage.

I really didn't want to be alone in this room, or even inside the house.

"My bedroom is next to yours" Michael said.

"Okay mmm, I- I want to"

"Go outside, I know. The closest to outside you can go is the solarium dear Diza"
