Clementine:
I just had a feeling something wasn't right, but I kept walking until I reached the last step of the stairs.
I noticed the silence downstairs except for one room that was lit. I could tell it was Mr. Rick's room because the door and its frame were white, unlike the other rooms. The black one came before the red one, so the first room was Miss Rue's office, as she called it. I guessed those rooms were also their bedrooms, which they called offices.
I started walking toward Miss Rue's room. The door was open, so all I had to do was turn on the light, but curiosity got the better of me. I stepped ahead, reaching the red room and then the white door that stood fully open.
"And what about the ones that are dead?" I heard Ms. Lenora ask.
They were having a casual chat, but it wasn't casual for any of the Crusaders to hear, because it was about us.
"Well, they're gone. What can we do about them?" Mr. Rick replied, sounding casual and nonchalant.
