"Lupo, get up here."
Once Lupo had climbed on and was hanging onto the backpack on his back, he started to climb. It was quite heavy, but not that difficult once he got his feet on the knots. The third floor was littered with the remains of various decorations, and a sturdy wooden door protected Room 302.
Jude knocked on the door and waited for a while. She must have passed the first stage, so had she gone out gathering with her group?
The moment he made up his mind to look around the other rooms, now that he had confirmed the door to Room 302 was intact, a small window beside the door suddenly slid open.
"Get away from the door."
"Chiara, it's me. Jude."
"Jude?"
Her voice quivered as she said his name. Through the window, her eyes and hair drooped.
"How did you get here?"
"Didn't you tell me to come here for the supplies? I'm just here to make sure they're okay."
"...Is there anyone other than you?"
"There's Lupo. My dog."
"Ah... that dog."
