"No, I- I searched the upper chamber. Where I'd been sleeping." At first. When he'd still slept. "I thought they had to be there, I must have gone through every scrap of paper in there three times over. But... they weren't. Which means I had to have... taken them further down. Where I was working."
He's quiet for a few moments. Not sure how much of what he saw or sensed there was real. It had felt real... "I only made it to the top of the stairs. I think... I think there's something still down there."
