Pondering his choices, Edgar opts for a door on the right this time, just a little farther down from the one where they just stopped. The door opens directly onto a tight spiral staircase that winds up. Giving Daine a shrug, Edgar leads the way up it.
Eventually, they reach a trapdoor in the ceiling. Edgar pushes it open and climbs through, then turns to help Daine up.
They appear to be in a tower or turret. There is an opening all the way around, but nothing covering it. Over their heads, the conical roof is open at the top, revealing a sky full of stars.
It isn't quite outside, Edgar says. But it's nice. He walks over to the window to stare at the ground far below.
