Day 72: Sun Room (4th Shift)

[lighthearted]

[From here.]

Sora wandered back over to the bulletin board after leaving the showers, hoping that he might run into the person he'd talked to over it yesterday. He remembered the description Sechs had given him: tall, dark hair, yellow eyes. That was the sort of thing that should stand out...

But if Sechs was over eighteen, there was a good chance that he would be in the Arts and Crafts room instead. Sora could try and beg one of the nurses to let him go check, but he didn't know if they'd be all that happy with him after he'd slept most of the day.

Well, he'd wait around for just a little longer. If Sechs didn't show, then Sora was going to ask a nurse anyway. The worst thing they could do was say no, right?

[For Sechs.]

"Fantastic!" So their 'alchemy' thing was quite useful, then. Link kept that in mind. Perhaps there was something they would be willing to trade for explosives. He missed having them on his person at all times.

"I have heard rumors of the details... And somebody was kind enough to post information today." His voice dropped in volume. "Beyond that, though, I have not seen the entrance for myself." And a small, vain part of him that never truly spoke up was disappointed that he had yet to find it.

Alphonse's voice dropped lower as well, and he glanced furtively at the nurses nearby. "It's in the Patient Library. You pull a book called Oxford Book of English Verse off the shelf, and the hidden door opens up. It was covered in...something that made me hallucinate, though, so try not to touch it directly if you can."

"I've gloves, though I will be certain to keep that in mind." Link nodded, uncertain of whether or not he should ask Alphonse of the nature of the hallucinations. Though if he caught sight of someone who might be suffering from them, he wanted to be certain.

"What was the... nature of the hallucinations?"

Al bowed his head, ashamed despite the fact he couldn't have known what would happen. "They didn't make me attack anyone, but...I saw my mom, and I just. I had to try and follow her. Brother and Scar had to pin me down for fifteen minutes or so."

"I see." Link didn't further pursue it. "I will keep that in mind, then." He glanced out the window, the sun slowly falling lower over the trees. It wasn't long until the nurses began rounding people up for dinner time.

"We will speak again, Alphonse." He offered a smile before following his nurse out of the Sun Room.
