You could make your own noise back at it, and see if it responds. That is, if you still don't know if it's friend or foe. If you already know it's a foe, explore the bathroom; see if there's another exit.
The bathroom is too tiny to explore. If she reaches out, Kendra can touch all four walls.
Spoiler
Looking back at the last few updates, it isn't super clear but she went in here.
There is another exit but it the toilet, which would be awful and also she probably wouldn't fit. Dying in a bathroom is terrible. Dying in a bathroom while trying to shove yourself down the toilet is worse.
And these things, because she is sure that it is one of them out there, they don't seem too big on conversation. The only got close to Kendra and Bina once, the first time one of them pulled themselves out from under one of the flags, and it had… done… something. Something very hard to describe.
It had sort of unfolded at them.
Unfolded in a very threatening way.
So Kendra had thrown a cinder-block at it.
>So you don't have anything on you that you can use as a weapon?
But she doesn't have any cinder-blocks here. She's got the flash-light, that might do in a pinch, but it's a tiny. Metal, yeah, but one of the small mag-lights, like they use in CSI.
She might be able to use it as a knuckle-duuuuuuuuunnnnnnnnoooope -
It's right outside the door!
She shuts it without thinking.
The click of the door latch sounds like a gunshot.
The laboured wheezing noise continues outside unabated.
Closer now.
Right outside.
Crap crap crap!
Kendra backs up until she's sitting on the toilet. Knocking her head against the back of the stall.
She pulls her legs up, making herself small.
But when has that ever worked?
>I would not advise waiting it out, because then you're going to trick yourself into thinking it's safe when there is no guarantee that it is and you're essentially trapped here with no escape plan, no visibility, and no defenses. Who knows what these things are capable of, or what their patterns are, or if it's just this one or an entire horde right behind it. The best thing to assume is that we are not safe and probably won't be for the foreseeable future, and that we have no idea what to expect yet. Try to get away from those port-a-potties so you can better assess the situation and get in a better position.
I mean really Kendra, when has that EVER worked for you?
When was the last time that ever worked for anyone?
"I am not," she whispers, "Going to die in a bathroom."
"I'm not."
"I won't!"
Notes
Out of curiosity, I took said image, copied it into paste, selected a random pixel and basic color, ran color replacement on it, and repeated the last two steps until I ran out of palette colors. What resulted was this.

That is actually kind of scarier then the real image…
