Day 45: Breakfast

Mori woke with a start. He lay on the bed for a moment, staring up at the ceiling and sighed quietly. Another day, another round of shifts and people and-- Wait a minute. Breathing in carefully, Mori's brow knit together as he realized that his ribs were no longer broken. After testing his collarbone, he found that it, too, was healing faster than it should have. Not that he was complaining, but there was something odd about broken bones setting so quickly. Pushing himself up out of bed, the teen shook his head, knowing that he'd have another day or two of the sling and then he'd be free from it.

But more important than that was finding out how Mitsukuni was doing. The last thing he remembered was the bathroom and gathering metal. Since they were together at the end of the night, Mori was certain that Mitsukuni would be fine, but...well, he still liked to confirm such things with his own eyes. With the twins gone and Tamaki still missing, Mori didn't want to take any chances anymore. Especially not with the strange announcements this morning.

As usual, his nurse came to collect him and helped him into his sling. Then he followed her quietly into the cafeteria, taking notice of the unusually empty bulletin board. They really were cracking down on it already. Weird. Even weirder? For once, he was the first into the room. Picking up a tray, he pointed out what he wanted, making sure to take double of the pancakes (asking to keep them away from the sausages for now), double of the strawberry jam and biscuits, and an extra helping of fruit. To top it off? Milk. It'd help his bones mend. Hopefully.

Going to a nearby seat, Mori took a look around the empty room and shivered. Kind of eerie in here without anyone else but the nurses. Someone was certain to come sooner or later though, right? He hoped so at least.

It sounded like Sean's life was totally different from Matt's, then. While he felt a stab of jealousy run through him, he still did try to find the silver lining. Even though Matt wished that he could have those kinds of luxuries himself, he realized that he had to play the hand he'd been dealt. At least Sean's good fortune meant that there might actually be a chance of them seeing each other once they'd left Landel's.

As sick as he was of Hawaii, people generally liked to visit it. That ensured that he might get more visits than if he lived somewhere in middle America, at least.

He smiled softly at the other boy; he was tempted to ask what plane flights were like, since he'd never been on one, but he was kind of embarrassed to even admit to that. Those weird gummi ships he'd made up obviously didn't count, either.

"I really hope you can, then," he said instead. "And what's New York like, anyway?" It quickly occurred to him that he'd always asked about other people's "worlds" when he was Sora, but this was different, right? The healthy, sane version of that was asking about the places people were really from.
