[starting off in M13]The last part of the night was little more than a blur in Homura's mind. The men had rushed in, but not joined them, instead staying off to themselves. Before any of them had a chance to react, however, a voice sounded through the air, mocking some other person Homura had never heard of, and the patients themselves

Glancing over at his roommate again, the demi-god didn't think that was the case.
He almost missed the first page in the notebook with writing on it, but the folded sheet of paper tucked beside it made him pause. One had "Okita" written on it, on what Homura thought looked like his own hand. The other also mentioned Okita, along with Kenren and Hijikata. He knew the names, or at least had heard them mentioned.
And apparently he had known them before too. Homura only needed to read the first few sentences of his own words before he stared at the page in shock. "I'm their leader?" The leader not only of those strangers, but a man like Kenren Taisho? Was that even possible? Unaware he'd said the words aloud, Homura ignored the other person in the room again as he continued to read.

Sighing and feeling tired all of a sudden, despite his lengthy nap, Shito sat up fully and ran a hand through his hair. "Yeah. Seems like a pretty decent-sized group, your club. I'm a member too." More or less. He hadn't gone on any missions yet, but that was mostly not his fault.
It was really too early for this nonsense. Shito got out of bed, though, knowing he'd never be able to get back to sleep with Homura muttering to himself and shuffling papers. And possibly making a mess. Shito twitched, just a little bit, at the thought of papers ending up strewn all over the room.
At least his right hand was reattached and working normally, just like it had been yesterday morning. That was going to be weird to get used to.

But even though he hardly felt the mantle of a leader now, Homura supposed he did have some responsibility. Even if he forgotten, and even if he wasn't that person, he had been, would be still if not for this place. So he closed the notebook, and sighed softly.
"I'm sorry. Last night, they took my memory from me." Since this person was part of his group, Homura thought he should be honest with him. "So I think Hijikata and Kenren Tai--" he caught himself, but only barely. "Kenren will be the leaders now. I think they're good people." Or so he hoped, at least. They had been the ones he'd chosen, and that meant he trusted them.
Homura had also decided by this point that relearning everything he had apparently known was going to be very trying. Picking up the notebook, he turned to face the other man fully. "Could you tell me your name? I don't remember it."

Two leaders now, huh? That didn't sound like a great idea to Shito--leadership by committee, and an even number so there wasn't even a tie-breaking vote, but he'd give it another night to see how things went. And it wasn't like he knew Homura any better than he knew "Hijikata" (he really needed to find out if the name was a coincidence or not) or "Kenren."
Shrugging off his concerns, Shito answered the one thing Homura did ask. "Tachibana Shito. The nurses and doctors call me Xu Bao."

They were working towards escape together. That was too important. Even as he was, Homura knew that.
He hadn't read anything about what the nurses called him, but soon enough he'd have his answer. A woman walked in, dressed in white, and Homura tensed at the sight of her. He was sure it wasn't the same one as before, but Kenren had said to be wary of everyone in the place who was a nurse or doctor.
"Relax, Mr. O'Dell." The woman smiled rather kindly, though it did little to ease Homura's tension. "You and Mr. Xu are just being escorted to breakfast. Things might be a bit unclear since you hit your head yesterday, but I'm sure you'll remember everything in time."
