[He catches that wince, and looks very briefly apologetic... Sometimes you are immune to the struggles of Being Dead and you forget to be sensitive.

BUT TO THE NORTH THEY GO. Hm. Souji hesitates for a second on hearing the familiar voice, but...]

--That's Si-san's voice, isn't it?

[He's going SCOUTING. Unless someone stops him he's absolutely going to try taking the front of the line again because he's perpetually making a meat shield of himself. What direction is it coming from? He's going to try heading that way.]

[sageguidance]

... I believe so, yes.

[ Alphinaud won't stop him. Onwards they go. ]

[stillnot]

[ clementine would stop him but... eh, she saw him fight. he'll be fine probably.

also she's worried about something sneaking up on alphinaud if he were in back. he seems... squishy. ]

[ercnerd]

[The voice has gone silent, providing no clue as to the direction they should go. In the end, Souji chooses to take the party westward. The corridor is quiet, and Clementine and Alphinaud once again arrive at a hall identical to the one they left.

However, Souji is now nowhere to be seen.]

[sageguidance]

[ Oh. Bye.

Alphinaud freezes in his tracks, looking around. ]

...

Souji?

[stillnot]

Thaaaat can't be good.

[ well. now she'll take the front. and she chooses to head east, arbitrarily and without consulting poor alphinaud. ]

[ercnerd]

[Clementine chooses to take the party eastward. The corridor is quiet, and Alphinaud once again arrives at a hall identical to the one they left.

However, Clementine is now nowhere to be seen.]

[sageguidance]

[ And… now he’s alone.

Alphinaud looks around, panic rising in his chest; what is he supposed to do alone? … Could he find the others?

After some mental preparation, he goes north. ]

[ercnerd]

[North leads Alphinaud back to the hall. It seems the logic of forward and backward doesn't apply here.]

[sageguidance]

[ what if he just keeps going north forever, huh? checkmate.

just kidding, he’ll try north a few more times before turning eastbound I GUESS ]

[ercnerd]

[Alphinaud checkmates himself. No matter how many times he goes north, he returns to the hall. Going eastward yields the same result.]

[sageguidance]

[ IF SOUJI WENT WEST AND CLEM WENT EAST AND I CANT GO NORTH/SOUTH WHERE DO I GO

UP??? ]

[ercnerd]

[Alphinaud flies into the ceiling, never to be seen again.

Just kidding. There's one direction Alphinaud has yet to tread.]

[sageguidance]

[ It just occurred to me they’re probably looping through the same spot rather than endlessly going through a maze of identical hallways help

Okay south, for our sanities. ]

[ercnerd]

[The corridor is quiet as Alphinaud heads south, leaving the hall empty of guests.]
