Day 47: Sun Room [2nd shift]
Cloud knew he should be taking the opportunity to check out the rec field during the day. The fresh air would be a welcome change from the crowded stuffiness the Institute usually provided, and he would have a chance to scope out the area when it wasn't all under the cover of darkness. When offered a choice, however, he remained in the sun room. He told himself it was so that he could watch the bulletin, him still being fairly new and needing all the information he could get, but the thought rang hollow.
The real reason he was here, he knew, was because he would be out there. Maybe it was weak of him, but he needed a chance to breathe. Ever since he'd arrived it had been nothing but one shock after another, and seeing Zack standing in the cafeteria that morning talking to Aerith had been the final card that caused his tower to crumble. He needed to just sit back somewhere out of the way and start rebuilding.
Being able to watch the bulletin from here was just a perk. Cloud made himself comfortable on one of the sofas, watching people come and go but not really paying attention to them. He took the time to try and rate this on a scale of the biggest messes he'd ever gotten thrown into.

He looked over at the shouting and wondered what was going on. He didn't want to go get involved, though. Hopefully no one would get hurt. If they did, he might change his mind, but maybe one of the nurses would actually do something useful and help break it up.
He looked back at Artemis. "Well, I'll be careful," he said, and meant it. Overdoing it immediately wasn't going to be very useful to the people he was trying to help, and he knew that! He'd go as far as he had to, though, to protect anyone. If that meant pushing the limitations that Landel's had put on him, well, he'd do it. But he wasn't going to just test it to see.
"I exorcise Akuma," he said. "It's not as cut and dry as that, I guess, but...that's the easiest answer I can give you. I want to save people, but I want to save the Akuma, too. I don't know if I can help with the things that go on at night, but I want to."
