Week 5.

[trustfellowship]

WEEK 5 Another week has passed; another two people have died. Tsubasa Hanekawa and Nachetanya Loei Piena Augustra have joined the ranks of the deceased. Whatever you may have thought about them in the end, one thing hovers heavy over the group: the fact that neither their compassion nor their ambition was enough to keep them alive in here. Is yours? Saturday is given to regrouping and rest; the static blares out early on Sunday, but at least there are no bodies to find today - it seems you're safe for now. The night before wasn't necessarily a peaceful one, however; you'll probably feel a bit groggy when you wake up, and it seems you've regained something that you didn't realize you'd lost... And of course, with another successful trial comes a new addition to the building, another corridor opening up on the west side of the building. The doors leading to it branch off of the hallways leading to the second and fourth sections of the building; have those doors always been there? You can't remember... It's a new week. Of course, that means you've been here for over a month, and your stay doesn't seem to be coming to a close yet. PATIENTS REMAINING: 22

SUNDAY | MONDAY | TUESDAY | WEDNESDAY | THURSDAY

[Anyone looking for Rose today will be hard pressed to find her. She doesn't even go to the kitchen to find anything to eat during the day. When she does emerge, it's late at night (nearly morning, really), hurrying through a hallway. She looks pale, and if she sees anyone, she'll freeze up, frightened and withdrawn. It's clear she was hoping not to come across one of the other inhabitants of the hospital from her expression.

Once she reaches her destination, the storage room, she seems to be looking around for something specific. She sorts through one of the boxes with purpose, but anyone paying attention might notice her hands are shaking a fair amount as she goes.]

storage room

[imaginex]

[Sakura only means to glance in; she has no interest in the storage room most days, but the noise of someone rustling through cardboard boxes catches her attention. Curious, she glances about for the source]

Ah, Rose-san.

[This is the worst day to be assuming anything, but assume Sakura does, and steps in as if her presence won't be minded. As distracted as she is, the other girl doesn't know how Rose's hands have been trembling]

[barehands]

[She doesn't notice the other girl peering in, only hears when her name is called, and given how tense she is... Rose drops the box on the ground with a harsh gasp, breathing out a sigh once she sees who it is,]

S-Sorry... Sorry.

[imaginex]

[Just as startled by that reaction, Sakura freezes in place and stares at the girl with wide eyes]

No, it's... i'ts okay.

I startled you, didn't I?

[barehands]

It's okay. I-I'm fine.

[But she doesn't meet the other girl's eyes as she bends down to start picking up everything that fell out when the box slipped out of her hands.]

[imaginex]

[Sakura's gaze settles on Rose more fully after that, but eventually she kneels down to help.]

Here... [Quietly passing things to Rose]

Were you looking for something?

[barehands]

[She pauses for a moment once she realizes that Sakura is passing some of the items to her, but she keeps putting them back while she tries to steady her hands.]

Um, cleaner, a mop, and a bucket.

[imaginex]

[The girl gives a nod, making a mental note]

Okay.

I can help you look...

[barehands]

...You don't have to do that.

[Her voice is low, hesitant.]

[ This is such a great Sunday for everyone, isn't it? Looks like Rose isn't the only one with the idea of walking around late, and before Ryoji knows it he bumps into her. He blinks a few times, looking at how scared she looks before speaking up. ]

Did you see something frightening? [ That's probably not the first thing you should say to someone who you accidentally walked into. ]

[barehands]

[She gives a sharp gasp when they collide, just inches from being a scream, and takes a deep breath. The smile she gives is reflexive and fairly unconvincing.]

I, um... I'm o-okay,

[cadmiums]

It's late, you should be careful. [He bumped into her, but somehow this is the first thing that comes to mind. Nevermind that he's out just as late.]

[barehands]

[She pauses for a long moment, trying to decide what to say.]

Um... It's not Thursday.

[cadmiums]

I know, but after last week...

[ Could they really trust patterns like they trusted people? ]

[barehands]

...I guess so.

[Her eyes narrow slightly as she looks at the ground from the memory of the last trial, but she takes a breath.]

You should be careful too, then.

[cadmiums]

Maybe, but I don't really get scared. [ He's silent for a moment, like that reminds him of something. ]

Are you OK, Rose?

[barehands]

Even if you aren't scared, I know everyone wants you to be okay. So...

[She gives a nod, though it's a bit shaky.]

Y-Yeah, I am.

[ As the day wears on it's pretty obvious Rose isn't out and about. As someone who has done this more than once, he can't say much. He won't try to coax her out of her room but at some point he does knock on her door. It's gentle, yet hard enough to get her attention. ]

Leavin' food here. [ He sets a plate, bowl, and bottle of water on the ground. The bowl has one vegetable that's been sloppily cut up in it, is probably a little too dry, and some pieces might be too big. The plate has an egg that looks like it was overcooked and some bread with, uh, nothing else.

He tried.

Whether she takes it or not is up to her. Mikoto leaves right after, good deed done for the day. ]

[Have a ninja sneak up on you Rose. Maybe not the smartest thing with how frenzied she looks, but Rin isn't called "Courageous" for nothing. ]

What are you looking for?

[barehands]

[She nearly screams when she hears Rin's voice out of nowhere, hands tensing on the box and making a dent in the cardboard. When she realizes who it is, she takes a deep breath, turning towards her.]

I-I can find it on my own. Thank you, though.

[heritrix]

...Are you sure?

[It's putting it mildly to say Rose looks spooked. She looks terrified; Rin tries to speak gently in response.]

You're frazzled. Why don't you sit and take a breather? If you tell me what it looks, I can search for it while you try to calm down.

[barehands]

N-No, I'm sorry. I'm fine. I just...

[The words might not be too convincing given the tremor in her voice, the way she takes in a deep breath.]

A-A mop and a bucket.

[heritrix]

[...Ah, Rin thinks she understands. Maybe. She gives Rose a small smile, and a pat on the shoulder that she hopes is comforting.]

I'll have it in a jiffy.

[Leaving Rose to collect herself with some dignity, Rin will make good on that promise. It probably only takes a minute or two, but she adds more time to the lock for Rose's sake by filling the bucket with soap and water.]

[barehands]

[Rose blinks when Rin touches her shoulder, bringing her hands together in a sign of stress. Once she comes back, she notices the water in the bucket and gives a nod of thanks.]

Thanks, Rin.

[heritrix]

Don't worry about it. It's heavy, so I'll carry it. Where are we headed to?
