DAY 65: Breakfast

Scar came to slowly, vision blurred and head throbbing. His memory of the previous night was vague and somewhat scattered. What he was most aware of was his renewed and increased hatred for the man called Lingormr. The Ishbalan didn't give a damn if he had been a special counseling patient. That bastard had enjoyed every second of tearing Scar to shreds. What he may or may not have realized was how much it had affected Scar emotionally. He had felt a renewed sense of drive at the start of the night; the disruption on the intercom and the news of the 'cure' had rekindled a fire that fueled Scar to drive forward. To have a little hope.

Lingormr had promptly crushed that.

He was in pain. So much pain. The cut on his hand was only fading scab at this point, but stitches now pulled at the deep gashes in his legs and back. Not only had the nausea not settled, but his stomach was beginning to cramp. The rash on his arm was impossible to hide without the old bandages covering it. It had nearly reached his elbow.

Scar's hazy eyes could make out the nurse, now pushing a wheelchair up to his bedside. This was humiliating. And he was too exhausted and hurting to lash out or become angry. He was just broken. He still tried to take some sort of grudging control, insisting that he didn't need to be pushed around, that he could at least turn the wheels of the damned chair himself. But he didn't make it down the hallway before the pulling and sharp pain in his back became so obvious on his face that the nurse took over.

He entered breakfast with a frustrated, tired, but overall defeated look to him. Scar felt too sick to eat. He sat at the table and brooded, wishing more than anything to simply be left alone.

It was still impressive to Guy how well Leanne seemed to be handling this. It was possible she was just very good at putting on a strong front, but there was something to be said for that too. Guy only hoped that she had made friends here, people who would look out for her and make sure that she was well taken care of.

As guilty as he might feel for not being able to do more, he also realized that he couldn't spread himself too thin. "Okay," he said after a pause. "Make sure that you have friends who know what's going on, so they can try to help you." If the worse happened, someone had to be prepared for that, after all.

The intercom went off a few moments later, which meant that there was no more time to give her any advice or consolation. He couldn't even clasp her shoulder in comfort, which was always frustrating. Instead, Guy stood and nodded to Leanne. "Good luck," he told her before he headed off. He'd do his best to keep an eye on her in the coming days. It was the least he could do.
