Day 37: Sun Room

Joe had read some of the larger notes stuck up on the bulletin board when the announcement came on the intercom. All things considered, this Landel guy didn't even seem so bad. Even if these people were held here against their will, he was certainly nice about it.

Apparently, the new patients - including Joe - were to hang around in the Sun Room or go to Arts and Crafts with the kids. Well, there was plenty of information on the board, including maps and descriptions of monsters, for Joe to prepare for the nighttime, when he could seriously get going on fighting his way out. He could look for where the boss would probably be waiting, or where his V-watch might be, and figure out how to fight the monsters. In fact, he had plenty of time to work all that out... but this the first time he'd had to really relax since he got his powers. So it couldn't possibly hurt to enjoy the calm period, could it?

The red-head stepped back from the board, and hopped back onto a comfy-looking couch to digest in the sunlight. He reached up to pull his cap down, and sighed when he realized it wasn't there. "Oh well, nothing's perfect. I still wouldn't call this hell."

Knives was silent for a moment until he finally moved to sit down. His body was stiff and tense though. "You worry about me as if I am human," he pointed out.

"It doesn't matter to me what you are. You're a being in pain. Isn't that enough?"

Knives was silent for a long moment and then finally he said, very quietly. "You and my brother would get along."

Subaru decided not to say how he thought his sibling would respond to Knives. Hokuto really could be very protective of him, even when she didn't need to be--she probably would be very suspicious of Knives. "Your brother Vash? The one who isn't... uhm... inside you?"

"No," Knives said. "He's not." Vash, in fact, was too powerful for him to take into himself. If he tried then it would be him who actually disappeared.
