With the way the lounge was designed, there was the actual lounge room itself (filled with tables and relatively comfy chairs, well lit with natural light that came in through the windows), a reinforced door that connected the lounge to the rest of the institute, and then the hallway where her brother was headed now. It was a dead end, with only a lonely janitor's closet occupying a fraction of the empty white walls. The only way out of the visitor's lounge (aside from the way Janna and the other visitors came in, obviously) was that heavy, intimidating door on the opposite side of the room. There was a office for the supervising orderly too, over in the corner closest to the steel door. The orderlies at the institute were usually content to just leave the visitors alone with their loved ones, and they usually just sat in the office to do paperwork. Cameras videotaped everything anyway, so as far as privacy went the Jordale Institute for the Emotionally Disturbed were pretty accommodating.
