[ ... After the announcement, Aqua's feeling on edge. Incredibly. To offer something like that... an impossible choice, because any choice will lead to someone's death... it's desperate, more than they've seen before. The Kingmaker watches everything in the vault, right? He must know their resolve. And he's doing his best to break it.
Aqua focuses not on the newest floor, but on the first floor. She's poking around (probably in vain, but who knows?) to see if there's any way down. She tries the storage room--making sure everything is in place and accounted for, too, while she's there--before moving onto the laundry room, the kitchen (where she makes a fresh pot of vanilla tea, too), the dining room, the library, and the incinerator. Honestly, her search takes her pretty much all day and night... but she's determined.
Later at night, the door to room 15 will be open a crack; she's plucking away at a violin she took from the music room. Aqua has a book propped up against her pillow, and right now, she's just going over how to read the music. ]
