Around the fountain, they parted ways. Eleanor and Ophelia followed Ondina and Lotus toward the back wing of the dormitory's second floor, while Kiara and Corallina turned left, bound for the right wing.
Though all four wings were joined by a long corridor, three staircases provided access… one at the back, and one each on the left and right. Eleanor and Ophelia climbed the rear stairs with their guides. The first room they passed belonged to Eleanor… her cadet number was 659, and her assigned room was 227.
"Ophelia, I'll rest for a while," Eleanor said. "Come to my room at seven-thirty. We'll go to the dining hall together. You should also settle in your own room first. If you need anything, you can come anytime."
Ophelia nodded. "Alright. I'll be in my room too."
Eleanor turned to Lotus with a polite smile. "Thank you, senior. Please take care of us in the future."
