Worlds Apart

Even though you have a pretty good idea that the woman is talking to you, you remain in your seat. She appears unperturbed by that, though, and steps down off the podium, walking unhurriedly over to you.

You look up at her as she stops in front of you.

"Will you come with me?" the woman asks. "You're not in trouble or anything. I just need to talk."

A strange sense of foreboding comes over you, but you can't deny that you're curious. You look up at the woman and then slowly nod.

The woman leaves the Great Hall and, after a moment or two, you slowly stand up and follow after her. The Guardian is following closely behind you, so close that you can almost feel him breathing down your neck. You shift a little uncomfortably, walking faster so that he's not so close behind you.

The woman leads you out into the corridor and walks along to a door quite a distance from where the Great Hall is. She places her hand on the scanner next to the door and, when the door slides open, she steps into the room.

You follow the woman into the room, the door sliding closed behind your Guardian.

The woman turns to you and then raises her eyebrows at the Guardian. "Does he have to be here?"
