Day 36: Waiting Room/Lobby 1

Oh yeah. This was bad. Grabbing a chair and ignoring the woman who had brought him in, Takaya crossed his arms and glared at the wall. He wasn't going to participate in this bullshit. Being told he had 'company' and that he should he happy about it had ruined what was otherwise an okay day

Anita couldn't help but pause curiously at the way Paul had said that first "really", but maybe her visit had genuinely surprised him. Even Nadine had been a little stunned to learn she'd chosen Paul over the others. Not that Paul wasn't a dear friend of hers! But it was true that she'd known David the longest, and Thomas...well...he was Thomas, and they'd been through a lot together.

"Yes, it's me, Paul," she replied as she took a seat next to him. The compliment made her smile. "And thank you." At least he'd recognized her. Anita had heard some patients here acted as if they didn't know their own friends or family. But it was almost like old times, and she didn't even have to ask who Paul was referring to. "Well, I figured if I wanted to know how they were doing, I wouldn't go asking them directly -- especially not with them in the same room together." Because of course if she visited one, she would have had to see the other. But, unfortunately, there was only so much time in a day.

"You know what I mean, don't you?" she asked. Then she quickly added, "But of course I'm interested in seeing how you're doing, too."
