Day 40: Recreational Field

Kio's breakfast ended on a much happier note than it had started. However, for once the announcement truly surprised him. He blinked as his nurse came to pick him up. Recreational Field? But.. but if they had a greenhouse, he wanted to go there. The prospect of gardening was a truly liberating one, an island of joy in this hellhole. He thought about going to the Sun Room and lying down, but it occurred to him that he hadn't had proper fresh air since being here. With a cheery goodbye wave to Honey, he followed his torturer outside.

It was much better than he had expected. The sun wasn't too hot (what time of the year were they in, anyway?), so he walked slowly along the walls, fascinated by the size of the field. He wondered if Sou-chan was alright. He hadn't even checked the board. Well, if Soubi wanted to apologize, Kio would be willing to listen. The place was so crisp and clean. He had to think if anyone had ever gone over the walls. What was out there? Freedom? Or a different sort of monster?

Leaning against one of the walls, Kio took as much advantage of the sun as he could. He desperately wanted a lollipop. One was quietly nestled in his pocket, but he would need to wait until the nurses were busy with other patients before he tried anything. Soubi had gone to some trouble to get them, the least he could do was make sure they didn't get confiscated. So with bated breath, Kio waited for a shift in the mood. He was, for once, content. Not happy, but not going crazy either.

[Sou-chan! Team Loveless deploy!]

Every time Claude thought he couldn't possibly hate Sync any more than he did, the replica said or did something to prove him wrong.

"Bored?!" Claude echoed, aghast. "You really did it because you were bored?" He'd known that Sync had no intention of finding a way to escape, but to think he just did this kind of thing for his own entertainment. It was enough to make his blood boil.

He resisted the urge to roll his eyes when Sync brought up his friends. To be honest, the idea of having to rely on other people in battle didn't faze Claude in the slightest. He knew that if it hadn't been for his friends' support, he wouldn't even be alive right then. And he knew there was no shame in acknowledging it.

"You say that like it's a bad thing," he said, straighten up a little, though whether it was to try to pull himself from Sync's grasp or simply because of the current topic, it was hard to tell. "At least I have friends." Which, as far as he was concerned, was all the more reason he needed to get Sync out of the picture.
