Night 47: M61-M70 Hallway

HK grabbed his weapons and left as soon as the door unlocked, wrenching it open with an uncommonly forceful motion and storming out. He had to go find Lugnut. This much was clear. He had to make sure the big, third-class intellect didn't get himself shot or starve, because he was the only droid left. Even if it came down to a maker-damned tug-of-

Outside M61

Kagura was sure to check her cousin's door before moving on to Bridget's room, but Ritsu was nowhere to be found. She'd checked the room, checked the nearby hallways, but he was just gone. It was harder and harder to hold back tears as she hurried the last few steps to Bridget's room and knocked softly on the door. She'd completely forgotten to leave any messages, so what if he wasn't there either? What if they'd all abandoned her just like Hatori had?

She sniffled as she waited, hoping someone would answer the door.

He'd slept through the day and even dinner again! What was wring with him?!? As Bridget hurried to get ready, he was startled by a knock at the door.

He was even more startled when he opened it and saw Kagura nearly in tears. "Miss Sohma! Come inside! What happened? Are you alright?" He quickly stepped aside to let her in.

It was such a relief when the door opened and she saw Bridget's look of concern that she nearly threw her arms around his neck. But instead she nodded and took a few shaky steps inside, rubbing at the tears forming in the corners of her eyes. How could she have lost her cousin already?

"I can't... find Rit-chan," she managed, "he wasn't down the hall and... and he wasn't in his room and... I don't know what could have happened! What if they took him away or... or took him for those awful experiments?!"

"Shh. Calm down," he said gently, turning to grab the napkin off his table and holding it out to her. "I'm sure he's fine, wherever he is Miss Sohma. We'll go and look for him. If he's left his room on his own, he won't have gotten far." He carefully took her hand, wanting to hug her, but knowing that was out of the question.

"Okay?"

Kagura took the napkin gratefully and bowed her head, thoughts a mess with her cousin and all the possible outcomes, all of them terrible. She'd lost too many friends and family already.

She used the napkin as she would a handkerchief, dabbing at her eyes and trying not to let herself become completely overwhelmed again. Bridget was right. Staying here and crying wouldn't do anything. They had to go look for Ritsu at the very least. Kagura gave a nod and let him lead her.

"O-okay."

Bridget squeezed her hand and tried for a brave smile. "Let's go check his room and look for clues. If we can't find anything, then we'll just have to search the whole place."
