The bus ride back had been surprisingly quiet for Sora, though that wasn't necessarily a bad thing. He'd had a chance to look out the window and watch the scenery pass by. By the time that the bus made it back up to the building and they were led off, he felt that he could stop worrying about the possibility of night starting prematurely.
And he did make it back to his room without any trouble, although the nurses started acting more and more like soldiers until it became clear that that off feeling he'd gotten from them throughout the day had meant something. Sora had more or less expected that, though, and so he didn't make much of a fuss, allowing himself to be dropped off in M7 as usual.
There he found a plate of that spicy curry waiting for him, but Minato was nowhere in sight. Sora's concern from before returned, but he pushed it down, realizing that he would know for sure before long what had happened to the other boy.
Meanwhile, he moved first and foremost to the metal box that was under his bed, making sure that the two coconuts he'd bought, along with the necklace tucked neatly into that small box, had been placed there. Everything was as it should be, which meant that he could calm down and focus on his food.
It was a good thing that they were provided with water, since eating the curry wasn't going to be easy. Still, the lamb was delicious and so Sora was willing to bear some discomfort in order to eat it. It beat that pink stuff any day, for one thing.
