And the OCD person turns to the Emo and says...

Kid wasn't sure to be relieved that Chrona was no longer within the clutches of Arachne, or even more worried about the fact that a person of Chrona's 'condition' wouldn't be able to handle the ways of this hotel. Even the young shinigami himself had a hard time staying confined within these walls.

For a moment the strand thought that this must be what his father felt like. Being chained down to one location, unable to move in the ways he'd want. Sighing, he made his way down the corridor.

It was extremely convenient that they both lived on the same floor, that meant Chrona would have to wait less. He scanned the doors, frowning now and than at his surroundings. The glint upon the embossed numbers indicated he had found room 512. True to his word, he rapped against the door, his skull ringing clinking eight times exact.

"Aah!" Chrona jumped backwards, causing a loud thump against the wall. He'd almost forgotten about the knocks admist his apprehension with the other loud noises nearby. Still feeling a little antsy, Chrona remained against the wall, only leaning forward just a little.

Chrona knew he should answer, but he felt so helpless without Ragnarok there. Ragnarok was the one who pushed him along. He felt utterly incapable of making decisions himself, and especially without a weapon, he felt helpless. Chrona wasn't far from the door, he was actually nestled in the corner nearest it, since it had been the farthest from the bed, but still he retreated as much into the wall as he could.

"What should I do..? I don't know to deal with this.." He groaned, and rocked himself again. He still couldn't forget what he'd done either. He'd sided with Medusa and did horrible things, albeit involuntary. He didn't know how he could deal with the others while knowing that. He didn't know if the others knew, but if they didn't..

Maka stepped out of her room and shut the door behind her. Now that she knew Chrona was here in the hotel, all that was left to do was find him. She'd been planning to take a look around anyway, and knowing the room number definitely helped her search. She remembered what Kid had told her when she first arrived--that Chrona had been taken by Arachnophobia.

She wondered where this Chrona came from. From what she could tell from Chrona's reaction to her, she knew her and Chrona were friends. But was he still at Shibusen when he got sent here? Maybe where he came from, he'd never spoken to Medusa... She shook her head. She'd figure it out when she got there.

She walked through the hallways, scanning the doors for the right number. When she came to 512, she noticed someone familiar...

"Kid-kun!"

It was obvious by the soft shifting of fabric and the fact that Kid could actually hear Chrona's murmurings through the wooden door, that the skittish boy was somewhere right behind it.

"Chrona, it's me. All you need to do is open the door." His lips pursed slightly. There had to be an easier way to get Chrona to not be as frightened. His musing was cut short by the sound of approaching footsteps. With a quick turn to his head, he was relieved to see that it was Maka heading his way.

"Oh good, Maka you're here." he smiled greatful to have someone who understood Chrona better than he did. "Maybe you'll have better luck with this." He cocked his head slightly towards the door. "I've tried getting him to open, but...I suppose it's difficult for him."
