[ the lack of sound is maddening. there's no way for roy to tell where he is aside from the sound of his voice which, thankfully, carries. eventually, the voice does get closer, and roy is about to respond when the truth continues: ]

He's curious, Brigadier General. Are you going to let him learn?

[ it's a sly tone, which roy seems to ignore as he takes half a step forward, his fingers grazing waver's sleeve before he grasps the boy's shoulder. and now, if waver pays attention, roy's eyes seem to be closed. and when he speaks, his tone is low. quiet, and curt, and to the point. ]

This scenario, or whatever Shehui has done, is not real. [ waver is a smart kid, and he knows that waver will know at least that much. that being said: ] But if this operates anything like the Gate in my world, there is only one way out of here, and it's through these doors.

[ assuming, of course, that they'll open. ]

I need you to tell me what the doors look like. In explicit detail. The one directly behind us.
