I stood in front of the mirror, giving myself a quick once-over. Satisfied that I looked decent enough, I grabbed the blue cores and stepped out of the room.
First stop—Steve.
I knocked on his door and waited. No response. I knocked again. Still nothing. After a full minute of silence, I banged on the door with my fist.
"Why the hell wouldn't they install doorbells?" I muttered, frustration creeping in.
Finally, the lock clicked, and the door creaked open. Steve stood there, half-asleep, eyes barely open.
"It's almost afternoon. Let's get some food," I said.
He blinked at me, then glanced at the blue cores in my hand.
"North?"
I nodded.
"One hour." He shut the door in my face.
I kicked his door for good measure and moved on.
North ranked fourth overall after combining both mission results, so I headed to room 004 and knocked.
A couple of seconds passed. No response.
'I swear, if she's as lazy as Steve…'
