[ yyyyeah that's not great! while hua cheng yeets tanhua back out, hope does a quick search of the room, takes a peek into the supposedly empty housekeeping cart, then grabs his notes and hightails it out of there!! he's so focused on getting out before the shadows fuck them up that he doesn't even notice they disappear once he crosses the threshold, but it's fine.
he will hold the door for hua cheng and tanhua to scuttle out, and then he will slam it shut! stay the fuck in there, shadow monsters! ]
[ bad! bad vibes. a glance keeps going down to the shadows, every time the light flickers, keeping close watch of them. tanhua keeps as still as possible, instead of scrabbling at the walls of the chute. it's not a comfortable trip back up, but they've had worse, considering, so he suffers it.
and once hua cheng sees blood orange fur...
he just reaches out to scruff the dog-sized fox, hauling him out and into his arms, rope and all, to back up quickly to the open doorway. ]

the flickering lights stop once they're out in the hallway. everything looks normal.
literally everything! even the trash bags from before are gone.
the only difference is that the housekeeping door remains unlocked. good job, guys! you didn't die!]
