Day 53: Sun Room, Morning
With breakfast finished and a new acquaintance made, the Scarecrow's mind turned to his other friends. The disappearance of Depth Charge's friend had brought back memories of how he'd felt when Kaiji went missing: helpless, useless, as though he should have and could have done something more to find him. If only he had his brain, then maybe he could have thought of something!
As much as he didn't like to admit it, it was unlikely his former roommate was still within the Institute's walls at this point, though the Scarecrow wouldn't know for sure unless Kaiji returned to visit him as Dorothy had, encouraging his supposed recovery. There was still the concern that Landel, despite his vile methods, was actually right and he was suffering from the delusion of having been a scarecrow in Oz. After all, that movie had been a pretty elaborate trick. Would he have planted it in town on purpose, knowing the Scarecrow would be taken there the night of the enchanted doors? And how could he guarantee that once he did find it, he'd take it and actually watch it? There was so much guesswork involved- it seemed the Wizard Landel either liked coincidences or he had more power on his side than any of the patients could have guessed.
The Scarecrow stopped by the bulletin board before heading for a seat, considering writing a note to his friends to check on them. He'd heard from Depth Charge, Remy, and Kibitoshin within a day's time, so he figured they were probably fine (as fine as Depth Charge could have been after last night, anyway). He'd seen Mele and Scar the day before. He put a finger to his head, thinking- he'd not heard from Abe or Sangamon in a day or so, but being professionals, they were probably very busy. Perhaps a note would be best for them.

"You must be psychic! You got it so fast," he snickered quietly behind his hand. As usual, he waved off the concern and today, for the most part, there were no obvious signs that he was lying. Eyes might be a bit more weary than before, but after his conversation with Yue this morning, Yuuhi was determined not to drag anyone else into his own troubles.
"Well as can be expected," he said with a nod. As far as Aiden was concerned though, things had never been quite as strained between them as they were now. This place had done some awful things to them both and for now, maybe a break was the right thing. "We've been having a little bit of trouble getting along is all. It's probably best we branch out and make new friends, anyway, right? I think Kurogane wants some time to himself for a bit."
Not that it was a subject he really cared to dwell on, though one wouldn't guess from the easy smile he forced upon his face, "How about you? No trouble with with Sakura or Yukito I hope!"

"Yuki and I are doing alright," he said, realizing halfway through saying it that he meant his and Yuki's relationship was fine--though it didn't sound too horribly incriminating, thankfully.
"But Sakura... I don't know. I think there's something wrong with her," Touya sighed softly, eyes turned down. "Nights are so short when Yuki and I are around her, and she seems to sleep a lot. Like what happens to people when they might... disappear."
Not that he knew what to do about it, but Fai was her friend. He deserved to know.

Sakura was another matter though. His own princess hadn't been around for more than a day and night before she vanished, but he understood all too well what the signs were and what they might mean. Yuuhi's smile faded momentarily. If the doctor was keeping his Sakura hostage, who was to say he wouldn't do the same with the other? Or worse, if he couldn't experiment on one, perhaps-
He wanted to offer to help. Go visit her, check in... even if nothing could be done when and if they finally took her, at least they'd know they tried. But he'd told Yue he wouldn't get in their way anymore. He didn't need the doctor using any more of the people who were important to him as bait.
"Then I guess we ought to hurry and get to the bottom of things," he tried. There was little chance they would be able to free themselves and everyone here before the girl vanished or they themselves disappeared, but maybe it would give them some direction.
"I wish I could offer you better advice, but- I'll let you know if I find anything out." Another lie, but at least a well-intentioned one.
