Night 66: M1-M10 Hallway
[M7]
Dinner went by too fast, and as the intercom announcement came on and the change to night officially started, Sora pushed himself to the edge of bed, caught in the tight hold of dread. He didn't want it to become night. He didn't want to change again. He'd gone to a lot of effort to make sure that he didn't end up repeating the events of last night, but something could always go wrong.
Landel cut to the chase pretty fast this time around, and no other clues were given out. Did that mean that the rebel group hadn't been able to get through, or had they just run out of clues to give them? Did that mean they were on their own? Sora let out a breath and tried to manage the panic that was bubbling up in his chest.
Link was still here. Sora had hoped that his roommate would make a move to leave the second that night came, but it didn't look like that was the case. Of course not. If Sora was honest with himself, he'd known from the start that someone like Link wasn't going to leave him alone here.
Sora forced out a shaky sigh. He didn't feel anything yet, but he knew that it wouldn't be long before the darkness started to take over.
"I know you're worried," he said to Link, "but it's fine. My other friend should be here soon, so..." He wanted as few people as possible around when the change went through. Hopefully Tsurugi would get here soon, and then Link could leave.

Scar lifted the photograph of his brother gingerly, as if it were something sacred. There were no cameras in Ishbal; he had not seen the man's face since their fateful day in the wilderness. It had vanished for the last time beneath the sand, in a messy grave dug with the bare hands of his hateful and broken younger brother who should not have even been alive. There were still little scars on his fingertips (only the left, now) from the rubble.
Scar swallowed the lump in his throat and fought wetness from his eyes. There was no time for his undeserved sorrow, for his remorse.
He put the photo in his pocket, anyway.
Scowling in a way that gave no indication to the emotions now stirring in his chest, Scar, one of the last sons of Ishbal, stamped out of his room and into the night. Frank would not face this sickness alone.

With that, the former priest rose from his own seat and began collecting everything he needed for the night. He didn't particularly look forward to traveling down to the underground lake again, but if they wanted to make any progress he didn't have much of a choice.
It was best not to keep Silvestri-san needlessly waiting...
