'...Yes,' Cream squeaked. She had meant for it to come out sounding brave and sensible, but for some reason it just... didn't. Chidori was very tall. Or maybe she just looked that way because Cream knew she wasn't tall herself. And she smiled nicely and seemed so strangely nice amidst all of this awfulness.
She reached out and took hold ofthe taller girl's hand... and then decided that maybe it would be better not to let go again. The corridors looked even creepier and scarier from outside than her room (was it her room now? Everyone said that they lived here now...) had looked.
