Despite it being the furthest of the doorways, you figure Syd would be the only person awake enough to help you let alone see you this early in the morning. As you run across the open wood floor of the hallway, you can see the faint outline of Penny's sleeping body curled up in the living room. It gave you chills just thinking about her return.

You were about halfway across when your journey is broken by the loud sound of a mile tall door opening behind you. Like Godzilla rising from the sea, your mom emerges from her room wearing a fuzzy pink nightgown, her eyes are still groggy and there's no chance she going to see you like this!

In a panic, you run as fast as you can to the doorway of Sydney's room, it doesn't take long, however, for your mother's titanic bare feet to catch up. You watch the dust fly out from under her steps, already her soles are covered in a thin layer of it like due to the neglected vacuum left in the basement. You were about to make it to the door when the shadow of her foot overtook you...

Dodging the impending mass, you collapse on the floor in between her feet. As you pick yourself up, you notice the chipped red nail polish on her toes, looking up you're embarrassed to see her panties from under her robes. Your mom's colossal hand knocks heavily on Sydney's door and her voice booms from above. "Syd, get up! You're going to be late again!!"

The sound is deafening but now Sydney could emerge from her room at any time making things much more dangerous. Do you stay here or push forward?
