CHAPTER 15

As Astrid followed Karl through the building, she listened intently as he explained the various rooms and facilities. They stopped in front of a door with a stern-looking sign that read

"Punishment Room." Karl's expression turned serious as he warned, "This is the punishment room, so if you go against the rules, you will be punished inside this room." Astrid nodded solemnly, taking in the warning. Her gaze then wandered to a nearby door with a bright red color, which seemed out of place among the more subdued tones of the building. She pointed at the door, her curiosity piqued.

"What about that one?" she asked. Karl's expression turned hesitant, and he shook his head.
