NIGHT 65: M1-M10 HALLWAY

[his_legacy]

As soon as the intercom was through, Link was off at a sprint. He carried the pillow case,his flashlight, and the knife from the previous evening.

There were now two tasks to be accomplished: Supplies for Sora, and another clue in the X-Ray Room. Two birds with one stone in the medical wing. There wasn't a moment to lose.

Sora could already be gone by the time he returned.

Lust was silent for a long stretch, kneeling before him and watching him with a tight expression. She could say or do no more. She was done beating herself against his walls for the night. It was far too tiring and did nothing but make her thoughts sour.

And they'd been so sweet a few hours ago...

Without a word she stood and turned, giving Scar one last appraising look before leaving him to his self-prescribed misery.

Scar was also silent, his brooding expression still firm on his features. He didn't watch her as she left. After sitting motionless for some time, he stood gingerly and climbed into bed. Lust was right, despite Scar's constant disregard for her words. He was in no shape to be running around.

Dammit, he should have at least let her barricade the door before he frustrated her to the point of leaving. Scar should have known that asking her for help wouldn't work. It had been a stupid thought, to think that she would willingly help.

Though... the explanation for her decline was quite the opposite from what he would have expected. Scar had thought that she wouldn't want to waste her time on him and on his educated guess of a cure. He repeated Edward's words in his head: She doesn't have a soul. Yet, she had seemed genuinely concerned for Scar's well being. No matter how hard his hurting head tried, he could not think of a situation here where she would benefit by pretending to be be worried. Did that mean her words were genuine...?

No soul, he repeated again. With that truth in mind, only one question was left: Why?

The circling questions did not keep him awake as long as they normally would have. Scar slipped into an uneasy sleep, his exhausted body finally giving up.
