In she goes, out comes a purple with a different face. And this purple will start walking around the red neighborhood, looking for a place that's more obviously a dead end.

The architecture is really uncooperative. Nobody wants to look at the red neighborhood and its buildings are shorter than those in the surroundings.

...how about one of those buildings with the chutes, she'll look for one of those.

They do have chutes. She could climb in a chute if she tried.

And they're not watched?

They're not watched but they are not invisible. Architects just have no respect for her desire to sneak into a red district.

Yeah. But she's okay with not invisible as long as there are times when she could actually slip in unnoticed.

If she can see into windows that are designed for privacy of occupants, she can sure detect such times! If she can't do that then she has no idea.

Ughhhh.

Fine. She'll wait until the evening. Back to the hotel with her.

The hotel is waiting for her! Night arrives on schedule.

How much easier is it for her to sneak?

It is darker. The architecture, not being were-architecture, remains.

But some other things might change because it's night, like the number of people walking around and being in particular parts of the city and their buildings. And given the higher density living thing they have going on here...

There are fewer people out and about, more lights on behind windows.

And do those lights also have shadows that might indicate someone is behind them or looking through them?

Some of them! Very blurry.

And are there any greys that look likely to want to know what she's up to if she loiters?

None patrolling near here right now.

Then she'll walk around a bit, making sure not to stay in any one place too long. Maybe when it gets late enough everyone will be asleep.

It is not a very sleepy city.

Change of plans: find an unobserved place like a laundromat or something she can tunnel through.

(She has read the laws about pollution hysteria, she's not gonna invite that.)

Laundromats seem not to be in vogue.

Is literally every inch of this goshdarned neighborhood watched?!

Nobody's setting out to make it difficult, but it's very densely packed and some people are nocturnal and it's not set up to make sure one can sneak unobserved into the red neighborhood either.

Surely there are buildings whose toilets or other unwatched rooms have walls adjacent to the red district!
