The door opened and Okita looked up from his salad in a more obvious manner. Familiar footsteps and no nurse saying "welcome to your new room" caused him to relax and he pushed an easy smile onto his face as Guy appeared. It seemed strange to think how lucky they were to still be roommate every night, but after both of them had suffered nights alone, Okita didn't stop the thought from coming anymore. In this place, seeing a friend one day did not guarantee another meeting and, although Okita was used to that from war, he was also used to seeing someone die instead of simply disappearing forever.

He laughed a bit when Guy greeted him first, letting the stress from earlier in the day melt away. "Aw, but now what am I supposed to say?" he joked, setting the half-finished salad down to start on the rest of his meal. Turkey was a weird taste, quite a bit like chicken, but not quite and Okita rather liked it. It was better than all the fried food at least, so after a tentative taste to ensure nothing strange had happened to it, he began eating. "Did you have a good day today?"
