Day 29: Cafeteria, Brunch

Hitsugaya left the chapel no less frustrated than before. The head doctor once again had chosen not to hide his face, yet promised he would be making an appearance at some time in the near future. He didn't like being patient, but there wasn't much choice. Either the head doctor would show his face, or he wouldn't. Renji had already seen him, and knew how to find him. That was enough.

The thought of eating made him slightly nauseous as usual, but he knew he needed to get his strength up. He could either be weak and try to force his way through brunch without eating anything, or he could be smart and actually give himself something to eat. And there was rice. Rice and fruit. He took a heaping pile of rice, and grabbed as much watermelon as he could fit on his plate, then proceeded to an empty table. He scanned the room, watching for Momo. He wasn't exactly looking forward to their conversation, knowing how she'd acted yesterday; however, he knew he had to speak to her, and there was a good chance that she would show more restraint now that the drugs were out of her system.

Thoughtfully he consumed his rice and waited.

Renji nodded. Allen sounded better now, and definitely better than he had two nights ago, and that was all that really mattered. There was no need to speak about it further.

He rested one elbow on the table, chin on his hand, as he finished up the last of his rice. "How?" he said. "Have you been lying to them or something?" His tone was joking. Allen was such a good kid; he really couldn't imagine him lying to anyone.

"Well n-no," Allen glanced down at his hands, wringing them in his lap. "Th-that is, not intentionally. Er... I'm not sure quite... how to explain it, exactly..." His brow was worried, "I-it's not really a lie if I didn't know myself it was true or not, right?"

Why was it so difficult to explain such a simple thing?! "I don't even know who it was really, I was talking to them on the bulletin. But... they said something that... I didn't think was true, but they insisted. And now..." He glanced across the room to the place Rinali was sitting with another patient. "I'm not sure what to think." He hesitated a moment, "Ah- b-but it's really nothing important! I- ah- I was just curious a- about how a person could know something like that or... or not! That's all."
