"I'm sure of it," Minoru said. "There has to be at least a couple people who thought the announcement was a trap and aren't going for it. Maybe they're on the roof trying to signal rescue or something." He glanced over at Naoki as he doubled the doubt as to whether he should have said 'blue-chan' or not. The expression was somewhere between, or maybe was equal parts 'oh, don't start with me', 'just keeping the mood light' and 'yeah, its like that'. It changed to a little smile as the girl in the corner seemed to calm down slightly thanks to him. Nobody was going to get through this without keeping his or her head, both literally and figuratively, and the more people keeping heads on others, the better.<br/><br/>Minoru lifted his chin a little as he heard a noise outside the door. Footsteps, sort of methodical gait. He grabbed both ice skate blades in his fists like hand-held guillotines and waited around a corner for whatever it was to get through the door. When he saw the condition and heard the words of the one who came through, he cursed himself for not locking the door as he put the blades down and went to him. "Come in," he said with urgency. The guy looked like he needed a drink, but what could he give him? The pipes to the showers might rattle. Speaking of which, Minoru stuck his foot out to keep the guy's weapon from clattering on the floor. "No, there are two more close by and another...elsewhere. There should be a drinking fountain here somewhere. Take a drink and tell us how things are out there."
