I still feel rather hurt that okaa-san left me here. At the very least, if she was convinced I require psychiatric help, she could have found a suitable location back in Japan. I mean, onii-chan says I can practice my English here, but it’s still so far from home

...

Shizuka, is ... is that you?

[redhairedbird]

Yes! Oh Mokuba-san, it really is you! :3 What are you doing here?

[comeridewithme]

I ... I work here.

[redhairedbird]

Oh, you do? That's really cool! That means you can tell them I'm not crazy, so I can go home.

[comeridewithme]

Eh... I'm sorry about your...

Um. My brother told me about what was going on back home.

[redhairedbird]

What? What are you talking about?

[comeridewithme]

Right.

Nevermind.

As for your therapist, I've been assigned to you, but I think it's best if I try and get you someone else.

[redhairedbird]

...oh. I see.

[comeridewithme]

It's nothing personal, Shizuka. I just don't think it's smart for someone you know to diagnose you.

I'm not going anywhere. Don't worry.

[redhairedbird]

I really hope you don't...you're the first friendly familiar face I've seen...

[comeridewithme]

Well, the nurses here are okay. I'm sure you'll find more friendly faces.

[redhairedbird]

No...

[comeridewithme]

Trust me, Shizuka, you'll be okay here.

It's got it's quirks, but it's a good institution. More or less.

If you ever need anything, my office is upstairs.

[redhairedbird]

Do you really mean that, Mokuba-san? Oh I am so glad you are here!! I don't know what I would do without you.

[comeridewithme]

You'll be fine, Shizuka, with or without me.

[redhairedbird]

No I won't. You don't understand, Mokuba-san. Everyone thinks I'm crazy!
