Nightshift 29: M51-M60 Hallway
This was no night to be lingering; Aidou sealed up M52 in his usual fashion and left hurriedly enough. He ignored the intercom beyond noting, with not a little suspicion, that 'wandered off' meant the usual babbling idiot was possibly planning something else. Who knew. The disgusting, rasping nurse's words weren't worth thinking on.
'Everyone dies in the end' was a mistaken assumption.
About the only thing worth paying attention to was the presence of even more new prisoners and learning there were four in store for experimentation, but tonight wasn't the night to do anything about that. After having half a day to consider his options, there just wasn't any way around it: rather than split his time between two different tasks (risky business), he'd have to deal with the little vampire wannabe and investigate Akatsuki's disappearance at the same time.
At least keeping Kyon with him allowed plenty of time for explanations, and being able to get out of those grey rags, even if it was just his school uniform, was comforting.
