Troubled Soul
The deeper Leo ventured into the castle, the better his understanding of the overall chaotic situation became.
Apparently, the most tumultuous areas within the castle currently were the four main diagonal halls that connected every corner of the palace.
These passageways had become a battleground, as the majority of snakes had emerged through sewer vents leading to the castle's bathrooms, a majority of which opened into these four main connecting hallways.
A smaller number of snakes had surfaced from pipes connected to kitchen sinks, remote taps, and other isolated outlets, but the concentration of chaos remained firmly centered in these diagonal corridors due to the sheer volume of toilets located there.
