Day 57: Game Room (Fourth Shift)

[poorexample]

After his conversation with Gabriel, Castiel hadn't felt up to speaking with anyone, and so given a choice, he'd picked the library. Finding a quiet spot toward the back of the room to sit on his own and -- not read, but think -- was how he'd spent the third shift. There was no easy way to accept all that he'd been told, both of his brother's

Ilia left the movie room behind, feeling a little something strange tickling at her mind. Something about what she had seen in there had thrown her for a little bit of a loop, and she wasn't sure what to think. Not the movie itself. That had a very clear message, one she had come to expect from this place. No, it was the little bit she had caught when watching Claude and Guy that put her in a contemplative mood. There was just... something there. But she didn't know what to think of it yet. Well, it wasn't really her business, but their relationship wasn't the first to pique her curiosity.

She chose a room at random when the movie was over, still a little thoughtful on what she had seen the previous shift. This room looked pretty comfortable, though. The game room. She hadn't been in this one before, but its purpose was easy enough to recognize. She had no need for boardgames if there was no partner here to play, so she grabbed a Bicycle deck and found a comfortable seat. She began shuffling the deck. Even if no one else showed up for a few hands of spades, she could keep herself occupied with a nice game of solitaire.

After his fruitless search in the library, Seishin wasn't quite certain where to go next. The other rooms likely didn't have much to offer in regards to easing his worries, so it probably did not really matter where he went.

He ended up selecting a room at random, not having any interest in watching the movie played in the lounge. The former priest soon noticed that he had ended up in what could only be a game room, though he couldn't have felt more uncertain as he wandered by the tables. Seishin had never really taken the interest in playing games, though it hadn't stopped Toshio to talk him into playing a few card games back when they were still teenagers. Unsurprisingly, he had always dramatically lost at them.

Funny, how much he kept thinking of his former friend. A lot had happened since then. Their friendship had fallen apart, though he had to wonder how much of a fragile illusion it had been to begin with. It might have cracked eventually, regardless of what he had done. Of what Toshio had done. Sunako... had understood.

But he had apparently failed her. What should he do?

He sat down in one of the chairs, unfortunately too deep in thought to notice the young woman seated nearby.
