feels nervous - something bad happened here. Shade informs us that someone who ate his Flat Mates lived next door. An area of cold seeps out from around the door. Blaze resists the urge to open the door. Blaze swears she'll never visit here again. Shade's room has a nice sickly alchol smell here. It's quite discusting.
