Keeping the door slightly ajar, you stealthily creep across the room with as much swagger as you can muster. As you reach the far end of the room you try to picture Amy. Spry, athletic build not uncharacteristic of a pegasus. Lot of heart; lot of fire. But you can’t help but feel she would probably wind up cheating on you. N-not that you were thinking of going out with her or anything!

Now that you’re inside, you see there are two more hallways; one to either side of you. You can hear multiple sets of hoof steps coming from the hallway that shadow slipped behind.

In a moment of clarity you’ve lacked as of late, you look around the room for architectural signs. Regrettably, just about everything is gone. You can see signs on the floor where furniture once sat, a few pieces of splintered wood and dirt, but little else. In addition to the light from outside, this building seems to contain a dim light source that makes seeing possible without any aid, but you can’t make out from where it originates.

Looking up, you can see the floor above you, complete with railings still intact. They appear to be made of a metal, but it’s hard to tell from this distance. Everything you can see has a black/gray dingy coating to it. There’s also a… fog of some kind. It seems to be getting worse and coming from the door being open.

Continuing with this new-found focus, you listen carefully to the hoof-steps. It sounds like three different sets. Working off that alone, chances are the shadow you saw pass around the corner was just your friends.

That thought, even if wrong, relieves you enough for the moment to realize it’s strangely warm in here.
