What was the architect thinking?

He was thinking "don't look down"

Minimalism gone too far

He was thinking hh Holmes would be proud

Where was the camera man standing, I wonder.

Dauntless headquarters

Nope

Imagine some douchebag locking you out of of both doors as a "joke".

Reminds me of Spirited Away.

That's the only way for the hero to get from level 8 to level 9 in the game. Obviously.
