Shirako sighed and stood up. He then sat near Yume's part of the bed and casually transferred his headsets to Kiku's ears. He seemed..... annoyed, that Yume stopped calling out to Kiku and left Shirako to do his job. He swiped his thumb on the screen of his phone and tapped. [i]BOOMBOOMBOOM[/i] went the head phones. Even the lyrics could be heard. Kiku jolted his arms outwards and quickly took the headsets off of his head. He shook his head and exclaimed out to Shirako. [i]He's okay. He's finally awake. I'm so glad.[/i] Seeing Kiku, Yume gave a small giggle. At that moment, she was overjoyed that she totally forgot the pain in her stomach and leg. Pretty much, Kiku turned his attention to her and had a glad expression on his face. Must've heard her laugh, [i]"You're alright now!"[/i] He screamed out happily, opening his arms to give Yume a hug. Yume did her best to reach out her arms, but then, Kiku halted and remembered her stab. [i]"A-ah... sorry..."[/i] Same time, Yume put her arms back down and laughed. Ever since she came to this place, she never felt this relieved and happy. Kiku thanked and apologized to Yume and Shirako, revealing he had a nightmare, and gave a bow. He turned to Yume and insisted her to have more rest, giving back Shirako's headsets. [i]"I'm alright. I'm alright. I'll heal soon enough. Not much pain's there anymore."[/i] The only thing she's doubting that even if she's feeling better, can she walk? [i]"If you're gonna blame anyone for the noise, blame her," [/i] said Shirako, pointing at Yume. [i]"HEY. HEY. Hey listen yo-"[/i] [i]"Anyways, if you're wondering, you're in the Infirmary. You passed out just after I got Yume in here and patched up. Mind telling us what that was all about? I'm no medical officer, but I know that people don't really just suddenly get the feeling they wanna sleep, if you catch my drift..."[/i] Looking down at Yume's stomach which was wrapped tightly with cloth. [i]"Yeah, Kiku. What happened to you?"[/i] Kiku started his answer with a long sigh. [i] "A-Ah.. Umm... You see.." [/i] And told his tale about his childhood traumatic experience and conditions, how it affected him till present time. Yume listened attentively. This gave her the guts to finally push herself in an upright sitting position with a bit of struggle and pain. [i]"Ah...ahn."[/i] Kiku hesitated for a while in the end of his tale. He seemed uncomfortable... [i]"O-Oh that's right! We met a man named Kei-sensei and he explained what was happening here. He told us that we're in some place created by ghosts and that... there's different dimensions so there's a chance that some of our friends are in the other ones. Though, maybe you have met that man as well?"[/i] [i]"Oh yeah! Kei-sensei.[/i] Yume added. [i]Shirako, have you-... wait. No. You ran into someone else. Who's this 'big ugly guy' you were talking about a while ago?[/i] Yume brought up, remembering the conversation she had with him.
