Uhhh… problem? Mm… yeah. Problem. Big problem. I found out who the guest in room 113 is. It’s Umbra. The Hatman Umbra. The former leader of the Dark, Umbra. Currently trying to take over the Necropolis, UMBRA. I don’t know if he knows that we know that he’s here. I was getting a bit bored and nosy, so I slid my compact under their door to see who our other mystery guest was, and it was UMBRA. It has to be Umbra, I mean, I guess it could be another shadow person guy, but that definitely was Umbra!
So, like, what’s he doing here? Is Umbra after the antekeys too? Eugh. Yuck. I thought I’d never have to deal with the creep again. What would Umbra even want with the antekeys? To get into the End? Spoiler alert, I doubt there’s a stupid first bible in there. We kinda destroyed the only copy. Unless we didn’t? In any case, Umbra is OBVIOUSLY bad news regardless of why or how he’s here. Like, Wednesday and Satsuki make at least some sense. They’re Myths, and Guile is Myth, and so they’re sort of tied together in that sense, but Umbra he’s a… well, actually, I don’t entirely know what Umbra is. He’s not a demon. I don’t even think he’s an actual natural shadow person. I think he’s just a dude who turned into a shadow or something like that. Idk.
Whatever. We need to find this stupid other antekey piece thing and fast. Maybe my dork can figure some way to beat this hotel maze. As far as I can tell, the hotel has 3 floors. We’re all on the 1st floor. There’s also an elevator that takes you to a random floor each time. Some doors are connected to other floors in a sort of… a… some sort of a nerd word for not a normal way. Like the layout of the hotel makes no sense, and sometimes doors that went one way once go another way when you go back through them.
