I pushed the door open and stepped out into the hallway. The number plate that had dropped earlier was still lying on the floor. As I turned to close the door, something caught my eye.
There was a plate attached to the door of the room next to ours, but it wasn't Room 03 as I had expected. Instead, it had a big, bold number 04 on it.
I then took a step closer to inspect it.
Curiously, I looked around the hallway and noticed something strange. The rooms that were supposed to be odd-numbered were now even-numbered and vice versa. It was like the world had been turned upside down, and I was standing in the middle of it.
Still, it's not really any of my business. I already have a pretty good idea of who's behind all of this, anyway. With that thought in mind, I left the hallway and made my way towards the reception area, ready to head out.
I approached the staff at the front desk of the karaoke bar.
"Do you have any idea where my friend is."
