The building was too crowded. Too many people, too many bright lights, too many strange things and tools and rooms and oh it made his head pound and his eyes sting. Too much too take in, too fast, and Cloud was not ready.

He thought he was doing well, he had met some people who would help, even came across a brother. But no, now everything was flashing back to just how badly he wanted and needed his solitude. Whatever slight progress he may have made within the past few days were irrelevant, whatever hope he may have had of becoming free of his torment was washed away in the sea of bright lights and too many voices that flooded his mind.

And so he found himself hurrying down the hallway, his breathing ragged and raspy, holding his head in his hands and only opening his eyes every moment or two to make sure he wasn't running headlong into a wall or a patient. He was sure people looked, someone had to notice and if anyone cared, maybe confront a nurse. He didn't care, it was too loud and too crowded and too strange, and he couldn't

Clutching his hands into small fists as he walked with determination down the hall, Daisuke berated himself silently. He had no reason to be frightened to go into the gym! This wasn't a jail, this was a place for sick people. They weren't likely to be big and mean, would they?

Though his mind was very hesitant, he continued on, taking the long walk from his room to the gym. So what if they're mean! I'm just there to work out a little, what wrong could there be in that? As long as they share their equipment... But what if they don't? That'd be so rude, it's not theirs to take away! I would have to be assertive...A hundred scenarios went through his head, and he began to lose faith. He could do sit ups in his bed, or something... no need to have this huge fuss! And so he rambled on in his head, almost passing the door in his fervor of thought

The added presence didn’t draw Nise’s attention immediately, half in the process of snapping his headphones on and drowning any outside influence that could come his way. However noticing the blond apparently flop upon the floor at the edge of his vision he paused, hands lingering in the air as his fingers adjusted around the earpieces of his headphones, fidgety in motion before he promptly stilled, setting them down

Cloud felt the heart in his chest pound when he first noticed the other in here. The room was already occupied, unlike his previous assumption, and there was once more the feeling of being unwanted

"Well." Daisuke frowned, put off by the rudeness of the silver haired male. Sure, it was apparently the room where people went to angst and not to work out, but it was understandable that he was confused!

Sort of. Maybe in the insane community, people sat in the corners of weight rooms and cried (though really the strange blond was the only one that seemed to be crying), and didn't cry in normal places... was there a normal place to cry? Oh well. A not normal place was a gym.

Shifting on his feet, Daisuke looked to his side to the still-quiet boy, wondering if he was alright. However, when he tried to get up and ended up falling back down with such a noise, Daisuke's heart went to his throat. Was he dying!?

Daisuke ran to the spiky-haired man's side, kneeling beside him and ducking to try to see his face. "Hey, hey, are you okay?!" He asked frantically, wanting to help if he could. The guy was obviously in a lot of pain, and that other mean one wasn't even doing anything!
