Outside M-35, Nightshift 20
Tamaki was growing used to confusion being his default state. Nearly everything that happened to him just confused him further. But he was going to learn how to fight! And then he could protect Haruhi! If she needed it, his mind promptly reminded him. Only if she needed it.
The idea that there were women who didn't need his protection at all times was one he was having difficulty coming to grips with. But he was trying, since his conversation with Riza. And Haruhi had survived here longer than any of them. He'd protect her - and all the people he cared about - if they needed him to.
But first things first! Tamaki got his flashlight and emerged out into the hall, looking about.
"Azel-kun?" he called, deciding he ought to get his friend's room number. "Ed? Hikaru? Kaoru? Anyone?"
He still hadn't mastered how to be quiet at night.
