Day 22: Shift 3, Library

[rage8]

Saïx had been known to keep to himself, limiting his interaction with even his own peers in the Organization to the Superior as much as possible. Of course, he gladly took up the task of chasing a few, random traitors here and there, but solitude and the company of those whom could be considered competent was something Number VII almost took

The brunch conversation had been depressing, at best, and Edgeworth couldn't help but be worried about Phoenix when he had heard the other's "name" over the intercom being called for a visit. He hadn't had the chance to even say a proper goodbye to his companions at the table; the others were escorted to the visitors' room and the youngest of the bunch had run off, leaving in a rush with a fast invitation to join him at some sort of club.

The nurse had come for Edgeworth shortly thereafter, and he'd requested to be taken to the library. He was in no mood for company, especially not as worried as he was about his rival. The sedation had mostly worn off, and his brain was once again working quickly. What he wanted to do, to try and distract himself from the worry, was look for clues in the pages of the books - perhaps a patient had made a note in one of them.

He frowned as he entered the room and noticed the three other people that were already there. He'd quietly hoped no one would be there.

At least the others were all quiet, absorbed in their reading, he thought. The prosecutor didn't disturb the room's quiet atmosphere as he selected a few classics from the shelves and took them to a corner of the room.

He wasn't interested in the books' content - the books he'd chosen were all books he had read in his high school and college literature classes. Great Expectations happened to be at the top of the pile, so he started skimming quickly, looking for anything different in the pages.
