I am currently walking back and forth inside my room. The little door inside my closet, closed. I also stacked it up with unused boxes so that no one may notice.

And it's not like I would allow others to enter my room.

I kept on shifting my eyes towards my broken camera and the closet door.

Am I really having second thoughts about this? I shouldn't even be thinking of going to the other side. It's against the rules! It's a forbidden rule. A warning.

Oh damn it, Joseph, you're digging a hole for yourself.

But if I don't do this, my camera will be broken until it'll get fixed. Burke is out of the question. My only hope now is that mechanic from the survivor's side.

I mean, I can just peek at them today and approach them when I feel like I can trust them.

Yeah! I should do that. There's nothing harmful in checking in on the survivors.

"Joseh, dinner is ready." I jumped up in fright hearing Mary, the blood queen's voice knocking on my bedroom door.

"Coming!" I squeaked. After not hearing a response from the other side, I decided to change into my sleepwear which is an oversized white polo-shirt and gray silk-pants.

I slowly opened the door and peeked outside. Seeing that no one is in the halls, I can conclude that they are in the dining hall already.

"So, how was the game, Yidhra?" I can hear Luchino, the reptilian asked Yidhra.

"Ugh. That Luca Balsa is so annoying. I am glad we ended up in a draw but I don't want to meet that idiot again." I can hear the annoyed voice coming from the Dream Witch.

Luca? Isn't that the new survivor who came to the manor yesterday? I also heard that name while eavesdropping earlier.

"I wanna meet the new survivor." Robbie exclaimed happily. I don't know if he's really happy or if he wants to torture the new one secretly.

I silently went to my chair which is between Jack and Leo.

"Is your camera fixed yet, Joseph?" Burke asked me as he sliced up his piece of steak. I think he has noticed me by the time I came down the stairs.

"Not yet but I'll fix it, one way or another." I said as I picked up my knife and cut the steak in front of me.

"You don't want me to fix it?" Burke said with mockery visible in his voice.

I shake my head, stating that I declined his help. I would rather hide my camera than let him touch it. It's precious to me.

"So what are you gonna do tomorrow, Joseph?" Michiko asked and I just gave off a shrug.

Honestly, I don't know what I'll gonna do tomorrow. I did not mind my fellow hunters anymore and I focused on finishing my dinner so that I can think more.

Dinner ended up in a blink of an eye and I am currently lying down on my bed. I have been staring at the closet door, still thinking if I should check the other side.

I mean, it's just this once, right? I will just check on the survivors and then come back like nothing has happened. It'll be even over before I can think of it happening, right?

With courage or stupidity, I got up and opened my closet door. Of course, I have already locked up my bedroom door and turned off the lights so that if ever someone knocks on my door, they will think I'm already asleep.

After crawling out of the mini door, I listened to the other side of the wall to check if the survivors are still awake.

"Go to bed, Naib and Luca! Stop your arm wrestle!" An angry shout sounded on the other side.

"Awww. But it is still a draw, Emily." A voice I recognised as Luca's, replied to the angry Emily.

"No! It's already 10 pm. Go to bed." Emily responded and I heard mumbling afterwards.

I think they are going back to their rooms. Now, how can I pass this wall? I tried feeling the wall, hoping that there's also a small door leading to the other side.

After touching the wall for how knows how long, I am still unable to find a door leading to the other side.

I have decided to give up and went back to where I came from when I suddenly tripped over something. I just hope that loud 'thud' did not wake anyone up.

Now I kind of regret not bringing any flashlight. How stupid are you, Joseph?

Trusting my instincts, I tried to guess the thing that I tripped over. Is this a ladder?

Why is there a ladder here?
