He pointed out some discreet doors which were marked in red with a small fire emblem in the center of each. Those had cost more than Nikolai would admit. Discretion was something The Need/Want prided itself on yet they had to follow the rules of the law of this land, too. Fire doors were annoying yet necessary to that end.
"These are fire doors. Must have one for every so many bodies you plan to have inside at maximum capacity. We paid extra for having them look less invasive. They only open with emergency alarms. No one has been stupid enough to try to run through them yet though if they do? We have plan for this too. The law must to be appeased, hhm?"
