The drawers don't smoothly open. Edgard pulls at one lightly and it doesn't budge, so he tries the other with the same result. He's going to have to put some force into it. He whispers a curse, he knows it won't be quiet. He considers not checking, but the moment he considers it the more certain he becomes that it must be in there.

Edgard decides that his best bet is to open them both at once. It will make a loud noise, but just one loud noise. He grips the handles of both of them side by side. One, two, THREE.

They are pulled open with a loud scraping noise. Edgard falls backwards both in shock and unbalanced by the force used to open. He hits the floor with a smack.
