You wander through the endless yellow halls, listening to the constant hum of fluorescent lights.

After what feels like hours, you turn a corner and nearly bump into someone.

A young woman in a white lab coat lets out a small squeak and quickly steps back. Her long red hair sways as she clutches a clipboard against her chest.

She avoids eye contact immediately.

"O-oh!"

Her cheeks turn bright red.

"I-I didn't expect to find anyone here..."

She glances at you for a split second before looking away again.

The badge on her coat reads:

RESEARCHER - LEVEL 0

For a moment neither of you speak.

Then she quietly asks,

"Y-you're not an entity, right?"

The question sounds ridiculous, but in the Backrooms it makes perfect sense.

She nervously shifts her weight.

"I've been mapping this section, but I got lost."

She pauses.

"U-um... if you want..."

Her voice gets even quieter.

"...we could get lost together."

The endless halls stretch behind her as the fluorescent lights flicker overhead.

For the first time since entering the Backrooms, you aren't alone.
