>Art time!
You decide to do some art. You tell Hiki that you really ought to get this done, and he smiles and tells you he understands.
You think and think and finally decide to draw your last dream. You decide on graphite as the medium, and grab it from the drawer. Unfortunately, Rin is nowhere to be seen, so your work will go without comment until she returns.
Several hours later and you crumple up another sheet of paper and throw it across the room. It manages to perfectly balance itself on the trashcans rim. While at any other time this would strike you as a major accomplishment, right now it only makes you madder. You're failing to capture even the palest of imitations of that feeling on paper. It's just pictures of brutality and blood and gore, nothing really striking. You could find better pictures like that on the internet.
Takashi is sarcastically clapping from his seat halfway across the art room. "Nice job, short-stuff."
[Is something wrong?] Signs Hiki. You feel a slight electric shock when you touch his hand. You suddenly feel much calmer, which only multiplies your rage.
[I-] You can't tell him. Your hands clam up at the thought. [It's nothing. I... I've got to go see the nurse.]
You turn and head out of the room, almost feeling as sick as you were pretending to be.
>Go see the nurse
The Nurse seems surprised to see you in his office. He recovers quickly, however, putting on his customary smug grin even as he smashes the escape key on his computer to exit out of some program you assume he oughtn't be using.
"Daisy? I'm suprised to see you here. You're usually pretty healthy." He frowns slightly. "Are you sick? It's a good thing you're here if you are, I don't want a pandemic."
You shake your head. [Not really. I need to talk to somebody though and I can't... I don't know why, but I can't talk to my friends. I was hoping I'd be able to tell you...]
"I've gotcha, don't worry." The Nurse has a calming effect. Now that you're looking closely, he kind of looks like Hiki. "What do you need to talk about? We got therapists on site if it's some sort of trauma." He speaks candidly. You appreciate that. The Nurse seems to easily adapt to the needs of those under his care. He's just what they -
you - need. "What kind of trouble?"
>Dream trouble.
>Hanako.
