Like most everything in life, Nigredo regretted.

The primary focus of the emotion centered on eating. He had taken in too much, exceeding the capacity of a starving stomach. No part of him would oppose throwing nutrients out, but the child could not bring himself to move accordingly. Better stationary, it seemed, even when sick. Thus, his nurse brought him to Arts and Crafts.

The room appeared as colorful as Nigredo last remembered. Only now, the cheery atmosphere served to heightened the sensation of weight at the pit of his stomach. An absence at the back of his mind. And what did his nurse expect for him to create? There was little a boy with one functional hand could do in such a place.

He stared the length of the room before moving to an empty seat. The table was also occupied by an older boy, who appeared just as agitated as Nigredo might have felt on a better day. As he was, he...

A hand touched the back of the chair. "May I?" Nigredo asked in a bland voice, as if pleasantries were simply a consequence to deal with.
