[Something about fluorescent lights and concrete walls triggers the thought of 'someplace I'm not meant to be' for Shuji even before the screaming starts. Once the wailing hits his ears, he has to stand still for a moment just to calm his nerves, or try to.
He's definitely not meant to be here. Possibly nobody is meant to be here. He would leave, except he doesn't know how he came in.
So, like someone with a death wish, he follows the sound. To the door that separates him from whatever is making that infernal noise, and also from two people whose conversation he can't quite make out.
And then he knocks politely.
It doesn't seem like a good idea to try to be sneaky and fail, or to suddenly burst in on whoever's in there. Politeness might give him a second longer of life.]
