Padparadscha's journey is much less eventful in comparison. Though there are some half-hearted attempts to redirect them to the visitor's center, they're not really doing anything or trying to get into anywhere obtrusive enough to be escorted there, so they're largely left to their own devices as they peruse the views and various departments of the upper floors of the building.

Simply casing the joint takes a much shorter time than questioning, though, and eventually, Padparadscha begins to descend once more to the main floor of the Core. They don't imagine they'll find Rutile again at the visitor's center, but it might make a useful place to ask if anyone's seen them, so that's where they end up heading for the moment.
