Jalo momentarily turned his attention to the two, showing his numbers though his hands before going back and working on another door. While the girl couldn't see it, the other could, and that's all he needed. He was surprised when they talked about him speaking backwards, but grateful. At least someone understood.

027 was in the middle of removing a door when the announcement came on, and it startled him, resulting in something similar to a backfire with his powers. He grabbed his head and muttered nonsense, his nose starting to bleed. After a moment he shakily let his head go and stood back up straight, looking at the door. If nothing else, it opened. He wiped the area under his nose with his sleeve, and decided that since it wasn't a major nosebleed, he didn't have the time to worry about it. It was also nice to note that the blind girl's name was six.

He took the time to process the announcement, and while he was only a few doors away from the assigned meeting point, there were still more inmates that were in their cells. Jalo wanted to put the safety of himself first, but at the same time he didn't feel as if he could just leave the others to rot. Going back to the later numbers, he began working on the cells, this time checking to see which ones were occupied. His headache was near to what it had been before he broke out of the cell, and he didn't want to make it worse unnecessarily. The longer he took, the more concerned he became about the guards approaching. His actions started to get shaky, due both to his nerves and the constant use wearing him down.
