That sounds like the least dangerous injury you could get in this place.

[slobjection]

But still lethal.

[ holds out filling... it's lemon meringue ]

[voidbreaker]

Is it though?

[ he's looking at it. does it look radioactive? ]

[slobjection]

[ no it just messy ]

Extremely. To me.....

[voidbreaker]

[ mexican stare off. ]

We'll give you a proper funeral.

[slobjection]

[ ash so rude ]

I guess that's all I can hope for now...

[ anyway ]

Mind if I ask you some questions?

[voidbreaker]

[ he has a healthy urge to protect his life. ]

... Depends on what you're gonna ask.

[slobjection]

I was curious about your excursion to the room of req-something. I heard you have a special item, too.

[voidbreaker]

You'll need to be more specific. [ He has a couple now. ] But sure, fire away.

[slobjection]

Huh. All I heard about is something called a "third eye" .... what else do you have?

[voidbreaker]

We'll go with that one then. [ Hm. ] Yeah, that's what Akira's been calling it.

[slobjection]

You know, Ash... the key to us solving this is working together... according to Blue and the staff.

[ don't be so cagey. ]

What did you use the eye on so far?

[voidbreaker]

Yeah. And as soon as it's relevant, I'll share with the class.

[ he's a good boy. ]

Might be easier to go with what I haven't been asked to gawk at through it. I take requests.

[slobjection]

Appreciate it.

[ .... ]

The room of... req-something. It was all red or something, right?

[voidbreaker]

When I looked through it? Yeah. The door to it, everything inside it. All kinda red, and like they were pulsating.

The doors on the lower floors glowed blue when you looked at them, but the fourth floor? Shit was all red.

[slobjection]

[ he was about to ask about the other rooms... ]

The entire floor?

That's interesting.

[voidbreaker]

Nah. Inside the room of whatever. Outside it was just the door that looked like that.

[slobjection]

Did you try looking inside any other rooms? To compare?

[ just to confirm it was only the room of req-uiem ]

[voidbreaker]

[ i'm a fool so he didn't. ]

I was breaking into the room at the time. If it helps, I looked at the locked doors on this new floor and they were all glowing blue.

[slobjection]

If you don't mind.... check out the other rooms and let me know.

I do think that the entire room -- door and all -- [ just to confirm ] glowing red is a pretty big clue. And that room was the most dangerous of all the ones we've broke into so far... right?

[voidbreaker]

Yeah, I guessed that much. What happened in there was pretty intense as well -- mirrors, and... well. More vicious ghosts that we're used to.

[ he just salutes. ]

Will do. [ except he won't because SOMEONE'S DEAD. ]

[slobjection]

Almost like it's trying to protect itself, no? It's worth looking into.

[ it's fine just tell him by letter to dead ]

Thanks.

[voidbreaker]

It went overkill on trying to protect itself. But Akira did nail the creepy ghost thing with a paperweight so maybe we just pissed it off.

[ puts phoenix on his blocked list ]

[slobjection]

Probably a mix of both. Didn't you also face a false Master Blue...?

[ mean ]

[voidbreaker]

Yeah. The creepy ghost thing.

[ One and then same, Feenie. One and the same. ]
