Yahiko frowned at Sano's request, having forgotten the latter part of it. He'd taken note of the number on his door when the nurse directed him into it, but as for the name they called him, he drew a complete blank. "My room's number 46," he told him, "but the nurse didn't call me anything."

When Kenshin opened the door with a smile, he couldn't help grinning as well. "Nope." Yahiko stepped past Kenshin and stood in the center of the room, looking at the others expectantly. "So we're going outside?" That's what the bulletin said. Either way, he wanted to get started as soon as possible, partly because it was good to accomplish stuff but mostly because he was curious about these creatures Sano had talked about. Now that they were all together, there was no way they'd run into something they couldn't handle.
