[Sen looks on curiously as he brings the handle of the knife to the door. Sparks don't fly, so presumably it isn't electrified; it will open easily enough once he actually does go to open it, and they'll have an easy enough time getting out of the room and into the hallway Kaoru had traversed to get there.
As for how to get out of the basement, they have two options - the staircase or the elevator. The elevators doors are open and inviting; the stairs, on the other hand, stretch up and up into a slightly murky darkness. A flickering light at the very top illuminates another door from time to time, but it spends more time being unseeable than not because for some reason keeping that light in good working order just isn't a priority of the producers.
It is eerily quiet in the building.]
...this feels like a trap of some kind. [It is a rather easy observation to make.] I take it I was the bait?
