That night, Roseanne was in their black tent that she was sharing with Raven for the weekend, since it had been decided that way when they split up into pairs. There was very limited space in the tent, which made her place her head on his chest comfortably as she tried to get some rest, and he had fallen asleep almost immediately. The swelling in his busted lip had gone down already, and there was a hardened little clot of dried black blood left over as a reminder of the incident, but he still winced in his sleep every so often at the pain when he moved around a bit. He still felt bad about Ivory's anxiety and making her cry, he had already decided that he would talk to her later to apologize. But Roseanne had assured him that she seemed to be okay--Cedar and Scarlet had managed to calm her down. After they got back to the camp site following their hike through the mountains, they had some dinner which they packed from the Garden, and Ivory had retreated to her tent angrily with Cedar following behind her. 

The original plan was for them to tell scary stories around the camp fire and roast marshmallows, but Ivory had sat there with a scowl and her arms crossed over her chest, making the situation awkward. Little by little, they all retired to their own tents with Honey and Seville being the last ones to do so. Raven had waited outside the tent while Roseanne changed clothes and got ready for bed. He entered the tent once she had announced to him that she was ready. He didn't really have a problem changing clothes outside, since most of the other male crew mates were doing so as well. 

The group had also originally planned to stay the entire weekend in the mountains. But by the next morning at nine, Roseanne got up and left the tent to find a toilet with Raven when they noticed there was one tent missing. It was a brown one that belonged to Ivory and her boyfriend Cedar. That meant that she had been so angry with what happened the previous night that they decided to go back to the facility. As everyone got up and emerged from their own tents, Mauve announced that Scarlet was gone too. She had left very early in the morning without even telling him or anyone else. 

Seville tried to convince the others to return to the Garden, since he was closer with the three who had gone back. He reasoned that the experience wasn't going to be the same if there were members missing from the group. Honey nodded her head in agreement. Honey mostly kept to herself whenever she wasn't with Seville, but she knew he got along well with the other three. They were more like his family than anyone else in the team. She didn't want to stay at the camp site and potentially make him feel uncomfortable. Ciel and Indy suggested that they wanted to stay a bit longer. Mauve mentioned he wanted to return to the Garden because he wanted to check on Scarlet and make sure she made it back okay, to which his friends nudged him with knowing grins. His feelings had now shifted and he seemed to be crushing on the girl with red hair and crimson irises. Raven and Roseanne said they were okay with either option and the majority vote was that they would go back.

With a lot of extra time on their hands, Raven and Roseanne decided to check out the abandoned fifth floor dorms that night. Unlike their floor, this one was only accessible through one stairwell that was in the child dorms above the cafeteria. The facility had the child and teen dorms right above the cafeteria, the adult team dorms were in a separate building connected to the child dorms. Then they had the instructor dorms a ten minute walk up the mountain, and the administration dorms at the base of the mountain, right next to the security booth at the entrance. The two had read about it and tried to go during day time hours, but there was a custodian around, telling them they shouldn't be looking in there. Other than that, the entrance up the stairs was only sealed off by one chain that went from one rail to the other with a dingy sign that read keep out.
