[Careful not to step too close to the walls, she makes her way to the other door and pulls, but this one's stuck.]

And if she wants to see Vi again, someone will have to break down one of these doors, and she's not going to ask Clara to do something potentially dangerous when Caitlyn can do it herself.]
