Aika looked from one side to the other as Joy charged down the hall after an apparent second figure starting running.  "Ah, uh...dammit!"  She raced after Joy, the idea being if they could stay together, then they would only need to catch one of the runners - though they might have to come back on subsequent night.  As for Joy, the person running away from her didn't respond to her call to stop.  Aika was doing her best, but Joy had the advantage of equal speed and those precious seconds she'd wasted trying to decide what to do about the multiple people onsite.  So catching up was really only going to happen if<em>someone</em>made a mistake...<br/><br/>...which no one was.  The figure dodged down another staircase, heading downwards.  Then, Aika had a good thought; she detoured off the next staircase, knowing that schools were largely built the same in Japan - she would pass by the teacher's office and then maybe come up behind the running figure.  She got down the stairs quick, and ducked into the teachers' office, laying a trap for the runner.<br/><br/>Joy, alone now, would see the figure duck into a classroom on the first floor, the door slamming loudly as it closed.
