Well, yeah. Okay, new theory then - One of the characters can see sometime at the end of the process that this living space does have a door but it looks sturdy and almost clinical, like it too expands into something kinda like the hallway again.
This would be a deterrent, having to be out in the open where they could get easily found again likely wouldn’t be super appealing to the two. If they do get caught up in whatever is through the vent then we can have that roll into them getting found out and punished but that will lead into some sort of small time skip and this leg of the story will end. Have to keep it going, and the further into this dimension they get the more crazy or mean spirited things can become around them.
It’s a passable move so I’ll roll with it.
I think I’ll post today so you can have something to work with tomorrow. I’ve sent you a friend request by the way, which is a small odd process.

Hope it helps! Thanks for everything Curio, really.
