Day 69: Breakfast

[envy_the_sinners]

Scar scowled, both relieved and angry that he had woken up once again in his own bed. That lanky man who had become his new roommate on the night of his death was sound asleep one bed over.

This was coming to be the new "normal." It was infuriating.

As always, he begrudgingly followed his nurse into the cafeteria and took a seat. He preferred to file in with the majority of the patients in order to avoid sticking out, but no such luck this morning.

Scar stared at his food rather than starting in on it, despite the newly found appetite that had been lost thanks to that blasted sickness. He had a lot to think about. He hadn't managed to find Frank last night. The damn intercom had beaten him to it. And judging by Tsubaki's reaction to him, he had been out for at least a day's time. How many had noticed? Cared? It couldn't have been many.

But it was the few who did whose detection Scar was desperate to avoid.

She could tell Lana was groping for information and she didn't mind supplying it, except that talking about all of this was still so weird. "It wasn't anyone I knew. Or recognized. It just started off like a creepy feeling, and then..." Nina took a deep breath. She felt annoyed at herself for hesitating, but it felt so bizarre to give voice to what she was about to.

Nina was hesitating -- if Lana had wanted any particular outcome to the story, now would be the time; but while leading the witness was usually seen as foul play in the public courtroom, it wasn't actually a good way to get the truth. Then again, she wasn't going to get anywhere quickly without a little prompting.

Well, the truth should be safe. "The one I saw wasn't someone I recognized, but it turned out he was a patient."
