Melissa continued into the hallway cautiously, noticing that there was another person in it. She ignored the man and continued to walk further into the hallway until the figure behind her spoke out to the man, "Corwin". She began to slow down to keep them from having to stop their conversation together, only taking small steps further into the hallway.

From the way the conversation was going between the pair, she can tell that the man was getting one of his many scoldings from his superior. She kept from making any eye contact with the man as it was a little painful to watch someone who was being scolded at. But the being suddenly decided to forget about it and began to move forward again. 

She went back to her previous pace feeling a little out of place as they began to talk to each other casually about things she didn't understand. It made her feel more uncomfortable about where she really was. She still had many questions and she still doesn't fully understand what's going on. From what she heard them just say, someone's been hurt and she doesn't know what could have happened. And to make her worry any further, the being behind her brought up something called the "Spirit Passage", which in the way it was said sounded like something bad was about to happen. She felt a shiver go down her spine as she believed something bad was about to happen to her too, her body visibly shaking in this completely white hallway. 

She continued to tread down the hallway still afraid of what's to come; she wondered, [i]How much worse can this get..? I'm already dead..[/i]. She knew that there was no way for her to escape this and she knew she had to keep going, even if she was afraid.
