Simulation

[ Sherlock is no stranger to doors which loop endlessly, but thankfully, he opened doors which lacked that element. The doors simply go to a different room with nothing further behind it. The emptiness provides its own frustration. Sherlock's additional task beyond finding the orb is to steal something from one of the rooms, but if there is nothing in the room, there is nothing to steal.

Finding a person in a room, while different, doesn't help him accomplish either task. Taking a person is kidnapping, not stealing. More importantly, he's not a kidnapper.

That would entirely depend on what you consider better.
