After using that chain to hogtie the unresponsive Victor so that he wouldn't try to get into the room again, Erik dumped him out in the cold and damp hallway before closing the door to the room they had occupied.
Inside, Emma and Astrid failed to contain their chuckles and giggles at Victor's fate and Erik's likely reasons for tossing him out.
Although they had to admit they, too, didn't want the doll-eyed and enslaved Victor to hang around where they would soon sleep.
Erik next walked over to the fireplace, which clearly used to be electric, and quickly ripped out all the useless components before taking something from his armor storage.
In his hands was now a red, sphere-like object that gave off a pleasant and far-spreading warmth.
This sphere, called a fire orb, was a simple and readily available object back on Söl that essentially served as an equivalent to Earth's modern heating elements.
