Chihaya had spent ten whole minutes locked in a bathroom stall reminding himself why he wasn't going to cry. The visit had been terrible and beautiful and sad. He didn't think he'd ever get to see his foster father again, ever have the chance to thank him, to....be sure that Lord Michael didn't hate him.

The nurse eventually lost her patience and Chihaya walked out, splashed his face with cold water and....refused to see himself in the mirror. He had to stop being like this. He was right, he'd made the right decision and now he was going to live because... he had this chance. It couldn't be wasted.

Walking past the bulletin reminded him he was supposed to meet somebody! Feeling awful, he began to search the Sun Room for his new friend. Long white hair.

He found a possible candidate and approach, smile perfectly in place. A new friend would be good. Something else to focus on, somebody to love and care for. A new family, even.

"Hello...are you Kibitoshin?"
