Day 27: Breakfast
Day came too soon.
Sora hadn't been able to find Rena, had instead been forced to crumple onto the grass of the recreational field and bleed all over himself, and hadn't even accomplished what he'd been sent out to do. What he'd been entrusted to do. He didn't know how he was going to be able to face Renji and the others, but he also knew he wasn't going to hide from them, either. That would just be low, after all, and he was ready to face up to the consequences.
He didn't try to make excuses for himself. Even though there had been a Special Counseling patient, they had managed to take her down by sheer numbers. The fact that he hadn't seen any sign of Rena was what had him the most worried. He hoped he could find her today.
The boy laid in his bed for a good while that morning before his nurse finally came in to collect him. She clucked over the bandages wrapped tightly around his chest and leg, and asked him if he was okay to walk.
Once Sora assured her he was fine (he didn't really want to use crutches, as that would just attract attention to himself, and he didn't need others worrying over him), they made their way to the cafeteria. Sora yawned and winced against the bright light of morning - it seemed even earlier than usual, and he realized why when they entered the cafeteria and found it empty.
The boy shuffled over to grab a chocolate chip pancake, a bowl of cereal, and a glass of milk (good for the bones, or so his mom had always told him) before settling at a table. He kept an eye on the door, hoping he would see Rena walking in soon.

"Heh, don' worry yerself, darlin', I was just tryin' ta lighten tha mood. Please, take a seat." His manner became more formal; at least as formal as he could be. "I know a li'l somethin' 'bout honour m'self. So, I'm guessin' ya jus' got here, an' ya ain't sure what the hell is goin' on?" He paused, thinking about how just the day before, he was in the same situation. He felt like a veteran of this place, even though he'd been here barely more than 24 hours. He turned to the younger man.
"So, you wanna give 'er tha run-down, or should I?"
no subject
"Very well, then." Saber took a seat, somewhat if not obviously eager to be filled in on where she was and what was going on, as the more vulgar of the two, Logan, suggested. She positively hated to be in such a helpless position, relying on others instead of being the pillar that they could lean on in times of strife. It was frustrating to say the least, but she never let it show.
"It would be appreciated if you would. I would owe a debt," she replied simply, taking a bite of her large breakfast and being sure to show proper etiquette. Just because she had an unflattering addiction to food didn't mean she had to portray it in a slovenly manner.

As for who should give the run-down, Peter figured it would be best if he did it. Logan came on a little strong at first, and this girl seemed pretty formal, whereas Logan... wasn't.
"I'll do it. You can add whatever I miss," he told his roommate before turning to Saber. "So, first of all, this place is called Landel's Institute. It's supposed to house mentally insane patients." This was where it got a little awkward, since she might actually be insane for all he knew, and he didn't want to end up offending her. "Most people here aren't crazy at all, though, and we're getting the feeling that the hospital is just a cover for what really goes on."
Here came the ugly part. Though considering she had suggested a sword duel earlier, he wasn't too worried about her reaction. "Night is where the true nature of this place comes out. It's our only chance to search for a way out, but there are monsters around, along with people who have been brainwashed to attack other patients. The point is, it's really dangerous, so moving around on your own is unsafe."
That was the bare bones of it, so Peter paused to give Logan a chance to add in any extra details.
