Iris tapped the wall, listening to the sounds it produced, and started following the echo that it created. She still had no idea where she was but she had decided to start moving. She was not sure if someone was looking for her or if the people in the mansion were aware that she was gone.
This area is too cold and she is worried that she will get hypothermia because she has been shivering for a while now. Staying in one place, hunching around in the dark is not a good idea. That is why, even when she is very scared, she decided to start moving.
The problem is that she has no idea where to go and if the other area is safe for her. But then, she would rather try than just die hugging herself in the corner.
"Ekk, please let there be no icky insect here," she murmured in the dark, trying not to think of those slimy and cold things that she would touch once in a while on the damp wall.
