DAY 23: BREAKFAST
That hadn't felt like an entire night.
And his goddamn head hurt. Pounded, even. Enough that he wondered if he was going to end up playing another round of "Christen the nurse" this morning.
Maybe it was because he'd spent so much time and energy trying to find Nowe. That could be the reason behind both those problems. Just the thought of it made his stomach turn, made him want to fucking choke something.
Still, there was shit to do. He forced himself out of bed to put away his pens and the other leftovers from the adventures that didn't happen last night. He'd have to try to talk to Sora today, to see if they could just do tonight what they were going to do last night... and to see if the kid was doing alright.
...he just wished his head would stop hurting. That was probably the result of just how badly he'd overreached himself the previous morning.
The nurse that showed up to get him was cheerful. He grunted at her, listening to her with only half an ear until she mentioned all the excitement, about someone pretending to be a patient, all that crap that Landel had mentioned.
Renji gave her a narrow-eyed look. "Dr. Landel is a goddamn lying coward, and he's lying about that, too," he said. Whether it was true or not, there was only so much good cheer he could take on a shitty morning. "I hope he chokes on a cock." No matter how much venom he put in that statement, it wasn't enough.
Then he had to listen to a lecture about language and gratitude for the rest of the walk to the cafeteria, so maybe it wasn't worth it after all. She dragged him through the breakfast line, and he ended up with granola and toast and tea and a cinnamon roll, because not even a shitty fucking night could ruin his sweet tooth. Though that thing was looking a little too sweet.
The cafeteria was pretty much empty; he had his run of the place. He sat himself about as far from the doors as he could get, and proceeded to stare at his breakfast.

He clenched his teeth for the thought. Yuushi wouldn't, would he? He had no reason.
Gaze resting on Yohji again, Aya picked up his coffee cup and cradled it between his hands, still trembling from the restrained anger. The tone of his voice softer than before, listless. "We might be puppets. But are you going to just sit here and whine about it? Your bitterness doesn't help you along."
no subject
He would kill for a cigarette. Just to calm his nerves a little, give him something else to focus on.
Finally he turned back to Aya, regarding him with uncharacteristic seriousness. "What do you instead?"
no subject
"You either play their game or end the game." He answered silently while nursing the cup against his chest. "Like we have to do to get out of here."
Coffee to an empty stomach was bound to make him even more jittery and nauseated, but it was the best diet he could have managed at the moment, bitter enough to fit his mood. He sipped and wanted to grimace at the burned taste of coffee on his palate but only allowed a slight twitch on his brows.
no subject
He took a breath and then nodded. Aya made sense, no matter how much it annoyed Yohji that the other man was always right. "Then we end the game," he said. "Maybe I belong in a place like thi, but not one this fucked up."
no subject
He was about to answer Yohji, the words already on the tip of his tongue, but the intercom interrupted him. Frowning slightly, he sipped the last of his coffee instead of speaking. Over the collective noise of chairs being moved and crowd shifting towards the doors, he tried to catch Yohji's eyes once more. "This seems more and more like a big, cruel game to me. All down to the intercom and nightly radio broadcasts. We have to gather Omi and sit down to talk and figure out some kind of plan when it's possible."
He spotted a nurse heading her way towards them and stood up, wanting to avoid more physical contact if possible. He nodded to Yohji as a goodbye before moving out with the tail of the crowd.
