"Maybe, maybe not. It did work when it needed to for the puzzle. I know if it were me, I'd need to be pretty damn sure I wasn't gonna get electrocuted before I'd even think about buzzing around a setup like that. And it goes without sayin' that I wouldn't trust the word of someone who's a kidnapper and accessory to murder." Of course, Simon had cooperated, but Simon had actually seemed to like Calhoun or Zero, for some sick reason. Alessa had mostly seemed keen on escape...
"Oh yeah. Not everyone knows this, but a lot of modern hair dryers have an immersion protection device, precisely because they posed an electrocution hazard. 'Course, that particular model didn't seem likely to have those features."
"Anyway. There are a couple of things that are botherin' me about that room. Clive said that they called her on that other girl, just like we did. And she promised to 'return the favor' and stormed over into their room, just like she did with us. But in their case, Jake hid behind the door. She saw Clive and went for him, but then Jake showed up and knocked her out from behind. Instantly, was what Clive said. After that was when they all got put to sleep by Calhoun.
"Only, don't that strike you as a little odd? Jake was injured pretty badly in the second grey room. Granted, that was about a month ago, but I saw the explosion. I doubt he's completely healed yet. He did have the advantage of strength and surprise, of course..."
Heiji crossed his arms. "But she got both of us without too much trouble, didn't she? And not to brag, but we ain't exactly the world's biggest pushovers. That level of physicality ain't normal for a girl her size. And why'd she come after us at all, instead of just tryin' to escape? I'm willing to believe she ain't know exactly who to find in our room; she had a western name and most westerners don't know which Japanese names are male or female. But that's even more reason to back off. She didn't seem stupid, so she must've had the confidence that she coulda taken us, no matter who we were."
