Mita walked around in the dark looking for a flashlight or something, and ended up finding out that the windows were closed as well. "It shouldn't be that dark outside, even if it is night..." Mita thought. She stepped on a metal air vent in the floor, which clanked. But something about that clank didn't sound right. Mita got down and felt if any air was coming through.
