Nightshift 62: F-A Block Hallway
[from here]
Taura was passing the door to the bathrooms when a thought occurred to her. Could that have been what Okita had been worried about? Did he know something had started? He hadn't looked especially well, come to think of it, but he'd never looked terribly energetic, except in the middle of a fight.
But if he'd known this was coming, why hadn't he said anything? He didn't have to use his own handwriting -- if he'd wanted to, he could have let them all know that something was coming without tipping his hand.
Or it could be something else. Politics. Loyalties. She hadn't expected him not to have any, but she wished he'd been willing to explain. Did he think she'd be disappointed? Maybe she would have, a little, but she would have listened to what he had to say. Did he -- no, he didn't think her unworthy of trust, but perhaps he hadn't been able to turn that same regard to himself? Or maybe it's just embarrassing, Taura.

Nutty Japan and Reasonable Red had been after the third floor, and so that was where Rainbow focused her attention tonight. This was the only thing she had in the way of a tip and she was going to follow it for all it was worth.
If she had had her wings, finding the third floor would have been a cinch for Rainbow. Sadly, humans hadn't figured out wings (and that was terrible). She did have her legs, though, and she was getting better at using them all the time. She could even run a little at this point — and so she did.
