Gael decided to use the stairs instead of the elevators. He needed the walk to clear his head. On his way down to the cafeteria, he noticed the sign that pointed to the morgue. He hadn't gone there yet—he didn't want to, unsure if he could look at J's corpse without losing it. At the same time, he thought his sister was down there. In the end, he headed towards the morgue.
When his mother was still alive, she used to work in the same hospital. Gael spent some time exploring the whole place while waiting for her shift to end. It creeped him out, but he found it oddly interesting all the same. The hospital was a place where people come and go—to live and die. The last time he ventured the eerie hallway to the morgue was when he was eleven. He thought he'd see ghosts. He didn't. But he sure felt cold. What else could he expect from the path towards the dormitory of dead bodies?
