Shiori glanced curiously at the words burnt into the floor of 1-5, half closing the door behind him as he made his way inside. [i]'A city without it's inhabitants is a web of lies'?[/i] It was rather vague, he admitted to himself, so he had no idea what it meant. Inspecting the classroom closer, he noticed the lack of dust on the floor. [i]Why are all the dust on the walls?[/i] he thought, curious. He couldn't come up with any explanation for this, so he decided to ignore the thought for now. 

The rest of the classroom looked mostly normal, he supposed, other than being rather run down. (Shiori wondered why someone would go out of their way to burn the words in the floor - what difference did that make, anyway?)

The sudden sound of Sho's footsteps in the hallway startled him, breaking his train of thought. Freezing for a split moment, Shiori wasn't sure what to do. Peering through the half open door, his eyes followed Sho's movements warily as the other boy marched down the hallway. He didn't bother to chase after him, however. Rather than be relieved by the fact there were others there, Shiori started to feel a tinge of discomfort. How many people from the group earlier were here, anyway? [i]I should probably stay away from them,[/i] he advised himself, [i]They'd probably just get in my way.[/i]

Shiori couldn't see any benefits to teaming up with the others. Hell, he barely even [i]knew[/i] any of them, after all.
