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.

Izaya didn't react at all to the large hand Snow had placed on his shoulder, but he did respond to the words that had come after. "How reassuring! It's nice to have someone reliable around here... I'll let you know if I could use your help."
He gave one last look at the nurses, and then shifted his weight, tilting to one side, to look up at Snow from the corners of his eyes. "And you may be right about the guards," he continued. "But if you give them too much to get upset over, I would think they'd try to sedate you. We would want that to happen again!"

It might have been difficult to tell since Snow had already been smiling, but he was practically glowing with that label. Reliable. Yeah. ...Damn straight! That was him. He was reliable. The one you could depend on, no matter what. And with that established, there was no way he was going to let Izaya or anyone else in this place down. Not with people counting on him now.
And all that being the case, he wasn't going to let something silly like worrying about the guards "sedating" him ruin the moment. So he pulled his hand from Izaya's shoulder and fisted it in front of him. "Just let 'em try it! They wanna press their luck again, they'll have a nasty wake up call comin' their way."
As far as that whole mess last time went, he was sure that was some kind of a fluke. He still had no idea how only three people had managed to contain him. Snow knew he was stronger than that. He could only figure they'd gotten their uniforms rigged with AMP technology; it was the only explanation. Bad enough they took everything even slightly modern from them all, but they kept the best for themselves. Real fair.
But all that really meant was he had to watch it next time. Now that he knew what they had up their sleeves, he wouldn't be caught off guard next time they tried to make a move.
"Be ready next time. It hits the roof again, there won't be any more interruptions."
