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. 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.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, 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. 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. The only thing she's doubting that even if she's feeling better, can she walk? said Shirako, pointing at Yume. Looking down at Yume's stomach which was wrapped tightly with cloth. Kiku started his answer with a long sigh.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.Kiku hesitated for a while in the end of his tale. He seemed uncomfortable... Yume added. Yume brought up, remembering the conversation she had with him.

"He wasn't a friendly guy, that's for sure," Shirako replied with a shrug. "Didn't talk like the guy you two ran into - moaned and groaned like he was some demented country singer. Took after us with a huge pipe. Haven't seen him since Tohaku and I split... I hope she's alright.." Towards the end of his explanation, Shirako's tone turned gravely deep. However, it seemed he'd shook off all negative emotions for the time being. "Well, I guess that means she's in here with us, right?" He smirked at the two as he rose from the bed, holding out his hands to the both of them.

"Think you can walk? We can wait if you two need rest, however I feel we should get a move on..." His gaze turned to the doorway in which they came. "The longer we stay in here, the less of a chance we have of finding our friends, right?"
