Although Lunch had been nice and relatively relaxing, Locke was disturbed by the fact that whatever this was that was making him feel bad wasn't going away with a bit of rest. His face still felt warm and his lunch was barely even touched. He was certain his nurse escort noticed this but she didn't say anything and he was thankful for that. The last thing he needed was someone else harping on him about eating correctly.He just didn't think his stomach could take it right now.

He followed the nurse to the showers and hoped the water would bring some form of relief. However, after a few minutes of washing, he realized heat, when he was already feeling pretty warm, wasn't helping at all. Cutting the shower short, Locke dressed and retreated to the Sun Room.
