I had to walk around the buildings of the seniors' dormitories for a while before finding building seven. At the entrance I ran into Quinn.

"Hey, you're early," I said.

"So are you," she retorted.

I followed her into the building, but instead of going up the stairs, she went to a closet.

"Excuse me, aren't the stairs that way?" I asked.

"You want to take the stairs?"

"Not really, but it's not like we have a choice, right?"

Quinn shook her head.

"Don't they have lifts where you come from?"

"I don't know that word," I said.

"Just watch."

She placed her hand on a panel on the door of the closet, and a few moments later the panel glowed faintly. She then opened the door.

"Come in."
