Move away from the door
Braving your fears, you move away from the door, leaving the stalwart figure to its contemplative role, while exploration will be your new quest. Will it be a success? Will it just end in a dead end, forcing you to rethink your entire purpose in this facility, leaving you baffled and confused? Everything is possible, but you have to move to see what is awaiting you further ahead, beyond the sterile corridor, beyond the tunnel that reeks of artificial cleaners.
For a moment, you have the impression that you are wandering in the corridors of a hospital; sure, they are clean, bright, but something was off, as if you can sense that it is hiding a side that no one wants to see. Although disturbing, there is something soothing in the uniform color and the general cleanliness, as if it is enough to put your mind at ease for a short moment, just enough to make you forget that you are trapped in a building that is lost in the middle of nowhere.
A larger room greets you as you walk away from the corridor, not regretting leaving it; the smell of chemicals and the white dye were too not to your own taste to make it a comfortable experience, although you had to acknowledge that the design is superb, beyond those that you saw before.
However, this isn't the time to waste thoughts in mere contemplation when there is something to uncover; if you will only stay in the corridor, the mystery that presented itself in the new room would remain untouched, begging to be discovered by someone.
Throwing a quick glance at the room, you check the surroundings, making sure that nothing dangerous is awaiting you; it would be quite a shame that you would fall into a trap or an ambush, when you are so close to some sort of truth. Safety is the word to follow, but at what cost? Will you lose your sanity, your conscience to be safe, or would you dare advance in the unknown, braving the dangers so your mind would be at peace, until it finds something else to wander on?
