As soon as she had the chance, Sheena ninja'd herself out of the cafeteria and away from the conversation she'd been semi-forced to have. She probably could have just clammed up and told the boys to go away, but she'd kind of owed at least Endrance some kind of explanation.

Somehow, Mori had a feeling that something was wrong. And not in the "man, I forgot to turn off the ceiling fan" way, but the "crap, I just pushed the red button" sort of way. Something was off - terribly off and Mori couldn't put his finger on it. He'd been kept at the other side of the cafeteria from Mitsukuni during lunch, but he'd also not seen Tamaki or the Twins during the meal. Usually the Twins were right in the midst of things, but they'd been...quiet lately. All day, in fact.

And since their showers were different, Mori hadn't been able to check on them. Asking after the boys did nothing since his nurse just patted him on the head and said not to worry himself. But how could he not? Something was wrong and he couldn't--

Stepping into the Sun Room, Mori caught sight of Mitsukuni as he went diving toward a young woman, wailing. Crying. Mitsukuni was crying. And Mori hadn't known what was upsetting him and stopped it. Why was he failing so much at what had been so easy before? Why couldn't he protect Mitsukuni from this place and the terrible people in it? He knew that he had to let the boy grow up sometime, but he'd always thought it would be at Ouran, not here. Ouran was still relatively safe compared to the rest of the world, and here? Well, nothing was safe. Ever.

Standing off to the side, Mori kept a close eye on Mitsukuni and the woman - Sen? - and began thinking of ways he'd have to punish himself for this later.
