"Okay, works for me," Leon answered Rose's suggestion. It wasn't like he had any better ideas himself. As such, he followed Rose to wherever she wanted to go. 
...Which turned out to be a light at the end of a tunnel. Well, that's not a bad sign at all, what are you talking about. And, much like the warped tunnel leading to the abandoned city, this thing didn't seem to belong here either, at least according to Rose -- who promptly decided to have a well-deserved mental breakdown.
[I]What good is staying here going to do us?[/i]. Leon thought. It wasn't like someone would just randomly fall out of the sky to give them some answers. "Yes I want to go home too," he said. "And that's exactly why I'm going to see what's beyond this... whatever-it-is. Besides, look at it this way. Whoever did all this obviously has a lot of power. That is to say, if he or she wanted to kill us, why not just do that? In other words, the fact that we're not dead yet proves that he -- I'm going to call him a 'him for the sake of convenience -- that he doesn't want to kill us, or at the very least not yet. Per extension, it's pretty unlikely that there are going to be death traps everywhere." He shrugged, then turned towards the light. "Look, how about this. I'm going to look what's on the other side. If it's not a deathtrap, I'll come back to pick you up, okay?"

Just as Leon was about to step into the light at the end of the tunnel, he heard a crashing noise coming from somewhere nearby, freezing him in place. [i]What in the world... [/i] "Okay, forget about going through here. New priority; finding out what the hell that noise was,' he said, just as much to himself as to Rose. "Stay close to me. Whatever caused that noise might not be friendly, and I don't want either one of us getting jumped on before the other can react."

((I have to do a minor bit of Godmodding here, Rose, mostly for the sake of easy flow. Don't worry though, it only consists of making your character following mine -- or vice versa, whoever leads doesn't matter --, something which seems like a logical reaction to me anyway. If you disagree anyway, tell me and I'll remove it.)

Some time later, as the two were exploring the halls of the school, they heard a loud voice coming from behind him. Leon, still on alert, instantly spun around. "What- Who are you?" he called out to the other guy.
