[Luckily for Kokoro, choosing the wooden door is the safer answer. Whatever that substance is it doesn't appear able to cross the threshold once she does. That doesn't stop it from trying, however, as dozens of pale hands with well-manicured nails reach out out of the sludge to try and grab at Kokoro. But they just hit against whatever invisible barrier is set over the door.
(If Kokoro sticks around long enough, it looks like the hands are trying to get at her head.)
The steps leading up to the second floor are long and lead to another door, presumably to the first floor of this building. But there's voices behind the door, if muffled ones. So muffled it's pretty much impossible to make out what's being said.
This door is the only exit out of the stairwell. So does Kokoro want to chance walking out and possibility exposing herself to whoever's on the other side or take her chances back downstairs and see if that substance is gone?]
