NIGHT 54: M31-M40 Hallway

[From here.]In a detached way, Edward could recognize how lucky he was to have met Stefan at the time he did. Now with Venom gone, he had no one he trusted outside of Bella and no source of blood. Stefan was a lot more like Edward than Venom had ever been - beyond the most obvious ways, too - but he didn't have the time. They hadn't been trying to ( Read more... )

[From here.]

M37 was only a few doors down, in the exact same place that his own room was located on his hall. They'd always been so close to each other, yet they'd chosen to meet up in the main hall instead. Maybe that had made it faster, but Sora still frowned at the thought.

He'd had to go through this far too many times, this situation where a friend didn't show up and he was forced to go to their room and see things for himself. It almost always ended badly, and the fact that he was now being forced to do it for Riku just made him even more upset.

But he couldn't force Kairi to take the first action, and so after a pause that was probably too long, he pulled forward and knocked on the door. There wasn't much point in doing so, and yet he would have felt weird bursting in without at least knocking once to make sure.

As far as Sora was concerned, Kairi was just giving the nurses too much credit there. He didn't hate them as much as a lot of the other patients did, but he also was pretty sure he knew what had happened. "I'm guessing they just lied and told me that so that I would stop bothering them." If they had told him that Kairi was in the medical wing, he would have kept asking them if he could be taken there, or at least pestered them about when she would be released. It had probably been easier for them to lie ( ... )

"Blocked off, really?" Kairi asked, wide eyed. "That's so strange ... I remember waking up and the nurse telling me I was in the medical ward, but I was surprised ..." But she couldn't remember what it looked like. How odd.

And if it was as old as Sora said it was, then that was even odder. If it was impossible to get to ... then how had she, and probably other patients, been allowed in and out without even knowing it? What was really going on in that ward? Of course, her curiosity was getting the best of her. She had an idea ( ... )

"You woke up in your room, though, right?" Sora didn't know if anyone had an idea of what the medical wing actually looked like these days. It seemed like it would never open, and he also had to wonder if there was some reason for that. Either something important was hidden there, or it didn't exist in the first place. He knew where the place was supposed to be -- right by the doctor's offices -- but it also had a bunch of stuff blocking it off, so ( ... )

"I ... I think so," Kairi told Sora, frowning. "My memory of waking up is kind of hazy. I just remember the nurse saying I was only out for a day or two, though. And that was a lie ..." She didn't know how long she had been asleep for, to be honest. And ... really, she didn't want to know.

However, Sora was still speaking, and when he agreed that he thought the staff was gone, she nodded her head, frowning. "I wonder if they're gone for good. I would expect Landel to not back down so easily, but ... I don't know. He looked pretty angry when he left the Sun Room. I wonder how him and the new guy are related?"

She knew that the new man was a general, and he had men with guns ... but what else?

Thankfully, she wasn't able to dwell on it any longer, because Sora was agreeing that they could look upstairs, if she wanted to. "Really? I'd like that," she said with a smile. "And yes, if we can't get through, we can always look for other things to do! Other things to find. Maybe some bandages and whatnot, just for safe keeping, I mean."

The more that Sora heard, the more it seemed like the nurses had been lying to them more than he'd realized. He'd always tried to be polite to them, but that had clearly not favored him as well as he'd thought. Then again, Kairi's situation was pretty unique, as he hadn't heard of a lot of people who ended up in the medical wing for a long time like that. Maybe it was something he should ask about on the bulletin ( ... )

Higher up than Landel? "Really?" Kairi asked, wide eyed. That sounded just dandy. "It certainly sounds like he can, considering he was able to toss Landel out as easily as he did. ... It's frightening to think about, in a way ( ... )

Sora wasn't very interested in focusing on how much worse things could get, either. Working themselves up about it wasn't going to get them anywhere. As bad as it might turn out to be, he knew that he and Kairi would be okay one way or another, and so he left it at that.

Besides, it seemed like Kairi was more interested in talking about things they could do to help the other patients. Gathering supplies and handing them out was part of what Arts and Crafts was supposed to entail, but Riku had always called it a waste of time. Then again, that was how Riku was. He cared the most about people close to him and was focused first and foremost on escape. Sora, meanwhile, didn't see it as a bad idea.

"Yeah, there's no harm in grabbing extras if we find ourselves up there," he said with a smile. "And if you want to hand them out to others, I'm sure people would appreciate it!" If they didn't, then they would have to take it up with him. Sora was going to support any idea of Kairi's one-hundred percent, after all.
