The staircase glowed in faint orange color, the first floor's path was visible from downstairs after Kuzu lit the candles and lamps. Eya heard one of them say, "Would be better if they get LEDs."
She crept closer to the staircase, just wished that the stairs would not creak again, and climbed the first stair. She leaned against the wall and glanced upstairs, her back rubbed against the wall as she climbed the stairs.
She stepped over the last stair and rushed to the entrance's left side. Eya kneeled down and took a peek inside. She saw a rub sitting in the middle of the porch and then saw two men enter the room on the northeast side.
The room was Hiro's home office that had sliding windows on the east and west side of the room. Eya waited till they both were inside the room, then she got to her feet and duck-walked to the floor's right side.
