When Reed returns to what is now her building, she’s tired. Having spent the day around so many of the colorful bird-people, and having had a long conversation with another apparent new arrival, she feels like she’s had enough excitement for one day. Maybe she’ll be able to get some good sleep - the bed seemed pretty soft when she was sitting on it earlier, scrolling through the holophone.
She makes it all the way to her floor in a bit of a daze, feeling the beginnings of that kind of exhaustion that permeated her days at Pathos-II. It’s still weird to think of them being over, or at least put on hold for the time being. She stifles a yawn as she tugs on the handle of her door.
She blinks. And looks around again. And realizes that this is not her room.
She also realizes that maybe this is someone else’s room, and that maybe that someone else might be trying to sleep at this hour too, and maybe they might think she’s trying to break in. She decides to knock. At the very least, if the resident is home, she can apologize, and explain herself. And maybe she’ll get a little more insight into her situation this way. It can’t hurt to have more allies, either.
“Hello?” she calls out tentatively. Then she raps her knuckles on the door in what she’s always thought was a friendly pattern. The sort of knock she reserved for coworkers who seemed to like her a decent amount, or who at the very least were polite to her. She hopes it does the trick.
