The doors shut behind you as you enter the dingy, rusted hallway. The Birchwood, gold and marbles of the living room once again make you miss it.
Thankfully for you, it means that Se-young won't find a note you left her when she quit the bar. At first you had one stupid idea, but then it morphed into something else. Namely, the way Se-young looked so graceful and refined in seemingly everything she did enthralled you; both visually and pragmatically... So you wrote her if she could think over teaching you her ways.
It will improve your bond by being able to bridge the divide of social class, and your ability to perform your Femsona, of course, for the staff, and many more things. Right...
Now she will have time to think it over clearly. Although you should probably come up with an explanation why next time you see her.
Refocusing on the task at hand, you see Se-young securing the perimeter. Next to her, three scaly, leaking corpses don the metal floor - your hunt.
You stare quizzically. "Didn't you say you disposed of the bodies?"
"Yes. I will finish the job once you leave. I will have plenty of time." She says flatly and moves on. "Stay on my tail."

As both of you travel through the Claustrophobic corridors, with Se-young insisting she will lead. You agree to stay in the vicinity of the living room for a chance to retreat if things go south.
You pass crossroads after crossroads, all pretty close in appearance to each other. Thankfully nothing out of ordinary happens. So much so you even engage in some brief chatter. Between trying to focus and scolding you, she allowed you to know her favourite per used to be fish, but didn't explain why she liked them, only that it's changed now... Fair.
Eventually, another door protrudes from the usual pipes and metal sheets. The stable light from the console shaming the often flickering lights along the hallway.
After securing the hereabouts, Se-young uses the console. With a hiss the doors slide open only halfway then clang and stop dead in their tracks, accompanied by a few wayward sparks.
"It's stuck. Mechanical error." She confirms, looking over the console. Red light covering the whole screen.
"What now?" You clench you gun harder as Se-young peers inside. "Anything there?" To
After a few seconds, she returns, expression unreadable as always... As most of the time.
"Nothing in the plan changes. Inside it's some form of depository, appears empty. Beware, without a lock this place will never be truly secure."
Feeling emboldened by her seeming confidence you decide to try something new.
"Agreed. Let's cut to the chase, now..." You say coldly, trying to imitate her ice-queen tone, but she instantly rises an eyebrow and you flinch. "Hehe...Let's go." You finish sheepishly.
Terrible time for learning. Albeit it's a lesson in of itself...
