Day 57: Waiting Room/Lobby 2 (Fourth Shift)
By some stroke of luck, Harvey hadn't been bothered while he'd been in the library, allowing him to lose himself in a random book for at least a little while. Even so, he'd gone through all of his possible options for who might be visiting, from Gordon (in which case he'd probably end up sedated by the end of it) to his mother to Bruce Wayne to even the Joker.
He knew the latter couldn't be possible, not when he had to be rotting in a cell of his own by now. He'd better be, anyway. If Batman was going to be making a nuisance of himself, the least he could do was get the insane clown behind bars.
In other words, the book hadn't completely prevented him from working himself up about this whole visitor thing. It was the last thing he wanted, but as the shift ended and a soldier came to collect him, it became clear that resistance would not be tolerated.
And so he was shoved into one of the rooms, watching as the patients from the previous shift exited out, some looking relieved and others looking crushed. It only made the knot in his stomach pull tighter, but Harvey forced himself to breathe and calm down. No one he recognized was here yet, so he'd have a moment to compose himself at least.
Taking a seat off in the corner, Harvey considered grabbing one of the outdated magazines to read over while he waited, but he couldn't relax quite that much. Instead, he pulled up one leg to rest on the opposite thigh and made subtle glances towards the door every few seconds.

And today maybe it would be her turn to see that brother in person, with her own eyes.
Now that her visitation time was finally upon her, Tsubaki was consumed by the possibility that the person who walked through the door was going to be Masamune. Maybe not the one she had seen the night she’d experienced his demise, the one her shadow had talked about and the one Kurogane had somehow glimpsed through her, but a Masamune. One who was still alive. Still in contact with her and her parents.
Coincidentally, it was his picture she had tucked into her clothes, meant for a meeting with Kurogane that she hadn’t yet been able to follow through on.
