lighthearted: gesture, smile, down (unimpressed)

Day 72: Breakfast

They had made it. It had required leaving Tsubaki behind to deal with her brainwashed roommate, but they'd gone all the way up the escalator, and this was it, the third floor--

Good morning, patients.

Sora shot up in bed, eyes wide, and let out a huff of surprise and aggravation. That wasn't fair! They'd made it all the way up, only for it to end like this? He fell back onto the bed and slammed his fists into the mattress to vent his frustration before he realized that Link was still asleep. Whoops.

It was hard to know what to do from this point on. He needed to go back to Farwell, but the third floor was important too. He could probably rely on his friends to handle things here while he traveled back to the rebel city, but he just didn't know.

He dragged his hand down his face and then slowly sat up again, as the door opened and his nurse came to get him. On the way to the cafeteria, Sora realized that the Head Doctor sounded kind of down. Was he upset because so many people were trying to go to the third floor now? Well, that was what he deserved after everything he'd done!

Sora stood in line for his plate of french toast and then peered around the cafeteria, looking for any sign of Tsubaki. He wanted to check in with her first.

"It was a gate, and it shocked anyone who tried to pass through it. We tried to find some kind of switch or way to disable it, but we didn't turn up anything." Kratos was fairly sure it was just something Landel had put up there to make their lives harder, but maybe Gabriel would know something more about it. "And I'd be willing to do that. We're aiming for the same goal, after all."

He fielded another question: "No, not really." It struck him that he ought to have asked that. Unfortunately, his mind had been mostly preoccupied with the fact that Sora was even alive--and the unpleasant lingering guilt of having been the one to kill him.

Kratos shook his head. "It's not a problem. I'm more than happy to let others know about what I've found out." After all, he was probably one of the oldest patients, in terms of both length of stay and actual age, in the institute; the amount of knowledge he'd amassed probably outstripped many others'.

It didn't sound like modern technology. It could have been magic posing, but there was no way Gabe could tell from down here, and he already had plans for tonight. "Thank you."

Although Kratos didn't quite know as much as Gabe could have liked, it was still far more than Gabe had known beforehand. "Is there anything else you can tell me about the Institute? Or maybe Landel? Who is he?"
