"To move around the Dormitory Building, we have to time everything around the Dormitory Building Rules. Assuming we get into the elevator at 21:00, even then, we still have to return to our dormitory before 22:00. Otherwise, we'll trigger the part of the rules about being unable to spend the night in the dormitory."
"If it reaches that point, without a clear solution, it's basically game over."
"In other words, to play it safe, we have less than forty minutes to explore the Dormitory Building. Even those forty minutes have to account for time lost if we encounter unusual situations in the corridors..."
"In short, the investi... exploration of the Dormitory Building doesn't have to happen right away. We can practice somewhere else first, get used to things, then tackle the Dormitory Building."
