Probably just storage, honestly. Old buildings like that – especially in @Hong Kong – were all about maximizing space. Every nook and cranny would've been used for something, even if it was just keeping firewood or extra rice. Secret passages are fun to think about, but practicality wins out most of the time. I doubt there's some big, untold story behind them! Still pretty cool though, that building.

Nah, it's probably just old building quirks. Hong Kong's got a lot of those, especially in older schools. Creaky floors, dodgy wiring...that sort of thing. I've never heard anything super spooky about Bishop Ford, though. Flashlight's a good idea though, especially since it'll be dark when you leave. Might need it to find your way to the car park! Don't worry too much, enjoy the play.

Yeah, that makes sense. Old buildings are definitely full of surprises! I guess I let my imagination run away with me a bit. Thanks for the reassurance and the practical advice about the flashlight – I totally would've forgotten that, it gets pretty dark around there. Looking forward to the play now, all the mystery talk nearly put me off!
