Day 73: Breakfast

When Sora woke up, he was so worked up that he practically thrashed his way out of bed. He probably would have fallen straight out of it and onto the floor if he hadn't caught his foot against the ground and then forced himself upward into a sitting position.

But it didn't feel like he'd slept at all. His heart was pounding, his face flushed with worry. Tsurugi... It had been Tsurugi, but he'd looked different. And he'd barely even been able to talk, he'd been so out of it. What had this place done to him?

If Sora went out to the cafeteria, would he end up talking to a Tsurugi who had purple hair? And what would that mean? Would Tsurugi even show up for breakfast this morning?

There was just too much he didn't know, but sitting around in his room worrying about it wasn't going to do any good. Sora stood and let out a bracing breath, glancing over to Link's sleeping form in the opposite bed before he approached the door and anticipated his nurse.

She seemed to sense that he was worried, because she didn't chat with him too much on the way over to the cafeteria. Sora didn't even have the presence of mind to stop by the bulletin. He just went straight to the mess hall and got a tray of food while half-distracted, parking himself right near the entrance from the Sun Room. He barely ate his food, instead keeping an eye out for Tsurugi with two shades of hair in mind.

[For Tsurugi.]

Another night had come and gone. Zero hadn't gotten much done in the grand scheme of things, but at least he'd ensured that Ciel was safe. That was enough for him.

But even so, talk of the third floor was beginning to bother him more and more... He'd been wanting to talk to Ciel about it, but she'd been asleep. But certainly her nurse wouldn't let her sleep through the morning? He could find her at breakfast... (While they ate 'little pigs in blankets'. Huh.)

Unfortunately, Zero couldn't seem to find Ciel or even X when his nurse led him to the cafeteria. But he wasn't going to let himself feel too alarmed by it; he was a little early, after all. So he got his food and found himself a seat somewhere close to the door, so that he could wait for a familiar face to pass by.

(...In the meantime, he would eat and wonder why the food on his plate was named what it was when it looked nothing like pigs or blankets.)
