Down the hallway towards the bedrooms, it seems there are distinctly more than eight doors—and upon closer examination, it’s easy to see why: in addition to doors for all of BAD END’s current members (each with a name carved on it in katakana, though you can read it easily regardless of your own native language), there also seem to be be doors for past BAD END members, and some people who were never members at all.
The full list of names on bedroom doors is as follows:
Silk Lumen Ordine Sashay Silfda Eistria Dagger AAA Absolute Zero Slaughtervodka Jack Serenity ATTACK AND DETHRONE GOD Hope Hardcore Jason Scythe Sabre Kohime Nero Harpy
…and a final door at the end of the hallway, which has some kind of floral crest in addition to the name “Hellfire.”
The door is exactly where you'd expect it to be; however, when you go to open it, it seems to be locked. Nevertheless, when you lay your hand against the doorknob, there's a kind of feeling: comfort and companionship mingled with a kind of eager curiosity—a let's see what she can do.
Growing out from underneath the door are more wild roses, the flower heads the delicate pink of flushed cheeks.
[ Aww, that's really sweet. She doesn't want to pry on other people's feelings so she'll leave the rest of the rooms alone for now and instead go deeper into the dorm. ]
It's much the same, throughout: everything as you remember it—comforting and lived in—and everything joined by streams with lotuses and a tumult of wild roses.
The streams with their lotuses look honestly extremely well-established: these look like plants that have been growing for years (never mind that that's longer than BAD END itself has existed), with lush leaves and a proliferation of pink-veined flowers on tall, gently swaying stems.
In contrast, the wild roses seem much newer: sure, they're growing wildly, but on closer inspection you can see places where they've recently ripped through upholstery and even overturned a table lamp in what must have been an explosion of new growth. Even so, they're likewise beautiful.
You have to jiggle the handle a little—coax it! be eager!—but then the door swings open wide.
And you're overwhelmed with feeling:
Her clawed hand closes around you and pulls— and just like that! just like that!!! you unsheathe.
You could sing for joy; you could laugh; you do these things as a sword does: you find them in her—every bit of fury, every violent urge, and you bring your sword-voice and her warrior-voice together in harmony, and together you cut, and c͖̼̥̺u̯̱̺̙͙̳t, and c̻̜̰̞̘̹̠͎͙̀͘u̧̨̘͉̜̠͔̼̬͕t̠̹̟̞͈̞͖̜͞.
And oh, together you're unstoppable.
The others drag you apart eventually, but you won't forget it: how, for the first time in so long, you didn't feel broken. Truly, this is what love is.
The memory fades, and you're left standing back in front of the closed door.
……an outpouring of yams tsum tsums. You’re rich!!!! Most of the tsums are of different BAD END members or of Shrike Avanteengarde, but everyone in Imeeji has at least one little yam-self somewhere in there.
There’s still a bedroom beyond all this. At least, uh, theoretically.
By "Hope's room" did you mean the room of "ATTACK AND DETHRONE GOD"? Hellfire evidently seems to think you should, judging by the way the name on Hope's profile has been written in exuberantly large katakana, with a single begrudging line through them to cross them out. "Hope" is written beneath them.
The door itself seems to be locked. When you push against it, though, there's a kind of feeling—of simmering rebelliousness, and a love so fierce it could be called violent.
You don't have to enter, though, to get a hint of the room's contents: stems of aconite are escaping from beneath the edge of the door.
[ but—there's something a little sweet about that feeling, even if it seems like... is it Hellfire affording her a sense of privacy? is it just that they don't know each other terribly well?
but Hellfire knows her well enough, it seems.
is there just a cascade of tsumtsums in the hall from Sashay Silfda Etc.'s door. ]
……Yes. It's a waterfall of yams tsum tsums. You’re rich!!!!
Most of the them are of different BAD END members or of Shrike Avanteengarde, but everyone in Imeeji has at least one little yam-self somewhere in there. There’s still a bedroom beyond all this. At least, uh, theoretically.
[ breaking off from hope briefly to examine the other rooms - she's heard and read it isn't the best to intrude, but she does still end up knocking on the door with sabre's name on it. ]
You give the handle a little jiggle, and the door swings open wide.

The memory fades, and you're left standing back in front of the closed door.
This door is heavy, but once you give it a push, it swings open on a well-oiled hinge.
Inside is a standard-looking BAD END bedroom, pleasantly lived-in, but with one noteworthy exception: There are deep gashes carved across the entire room—stretching across the walls, the ceiling, the floor. Something about them is familiar; perhaps it takes you a moment or two before you realize that they are exact matches (albeit magnified) for your own scars. Each “scar” is limned with gold, like kintsugi.

Up close, the "scars" on the wall have a warmth to them; a kind of emanating tenderness, as of shared touch.

Re: CHARACTER ROOMS
You head to your(?) room, and place your hand on the door, and—
It stings a little, actually?
It's not actually locked, you're fairly sure, but touching it feels like a thorn-sharp mix of love and rejection.
