126. Settling in 2

I still had a long way to go before I could rest.

First, I searched for a room for Henry and me, then I looked for a ladder so that the others could move on their own, and LUCKILY I found not one but TWO, stuck in a wall that apparently should have led to a utility room, which was destroyed and full of earth.

After placing each ladder at the ends of the two staircases, I encountered Baggy Jeans and Red Hair while heading back to my room.

"The two ladders are permanent, and they must remain there—no removing them. I will provide my ladder for leaving the mansion. Tell the others." Baggy Jeans nodded, and I continued on my way.

I cleaned the room as well as I could, though the upside-down windows were broken and only displayed an earthen wall, making the place a bit depressing. However, there were enough candles lying around for a cozy atmosphere, apparent decoration, and our superior sight to avoid bumping into anything.
