Subaru protested when the nurse pulled him away from Hokuto, but when she explained she was taking him to the cafeteria for lunch he figured he could find Hokuto again anyway and let her lead him away.
The chicken soup smelled good, but Subaru reluctantly decided that, with his powers as weak as they were, he just couldn't risk making them even weaker by eating meat. Milk, cheese and eggs had always been okay, though, so Subaru took a sandwich before hitting the salad bar. Reasonably content with his selections, Subaru turned to look for somewhere to sit, and for Hokuto.
But as he scanned the cafeteria, he found someone else, instead. His tray hit the floor with a crash as it dropped from hands suddenly numb with shock. He was here! After more than a year of searching fruitlessly, Subaru had finally found Seishirou, in this insane place. Images, memories, flashed through his mind in rapid succession--a cherry tree, blood and the dead body of a child, Hokuto, in his robes, drenched in blood as she died by Seishirou's hand... Hokuto, alive again, in this place, and he was here. He could hurt her again!
Red washed over Subaru's vision, and with a hoarse scream of grief and anger, he threw himself at Seishirou, fingers curled into claws. He might not have his powers, but he could still strangle the man with his bare hands, damn it.
