Silent dormitory rooms are lined with bodies--not dead, just sleeping. Throughout the tower it is pitch black and silent. At the base of the tower, countless shining eyes, watching.

23:45:00
The tower hums to life. Lights blink on in one by one; only the dormitory rooms remain dark. A small army of blank-faced humanoids appear and spend the next ten minutes taking various positions around the tower.

23:59:00

"That would be good, thank you."

She offers her girlfriend a hand. Just so neither of them gets lost, holding hands is the easiest way to ensure that. "Let's go."

Estonia closes and puts away the book she'd been looking through and slips her hand into Sweden's. She gives a nod, and then a reassuring squeeze to that hand, beucase she's pretty sure that's what Finland would do.

Sweden turns around at that, looks down at Estonia and squeezes her hand too, lightly, very careful to not hurt her territory, but trying to return the sentiment.

"We can do this," she says quietly, eyes unwaiveringly meeting Sweden's.

She nods. "Let's try to f'nd Fin."

Estonia gives a nod of her own, then gestures with their joined hands. "I haven't gone this way yet."

Sweden just nods in agreement, this really does not require words, and follows Estonia's gesture.

They walk for some time in silence, Estonia checking around her, before she pauses at a door. With a glance at Sweden, she's trying to see whether the other woman wants to go through first or not.

Sweden looks down the corridor and then down the other direction. Nobody seems to be around she lays one hand on the other nation's arm and pulls her back lightly, silently ordering her to stay where she is until Sweden tells her that it is okay to enter.
