You are not sure why the lighting in this spa changing room is very red. Is it like in nightclubs where the restrooms are illuminated to prevent illicit activity, deter addicts from finding veins and overdosing in the toilets? Or is that blue lighting?
There are clothes scattered everywhere here, as if someone had ransacked the place searching for something. You can see the reflection of various shoes and items scattered everywhere.
When you gaze into the mirror of the Red Room, there is a moment of recursion. The reflective surface warps, resembles the hall of mirrors effect, like when you enter an elevator lift with parallel mirrored sides and an infinite longitudinal sequence of self propagates on either side. The mirror cracks and cascades sharp slivers of glass upon the red floor.
You can sense red on the floor outside too. Something has changed - the talking has stopped now, but there is still some grunting, pummelling. If the security guard is still out there he has not heard you.
