the_campus | No. No! You KNOW who's in there!

You don't need to thank me. I wouldn't be able to live with myself if I just left you there...

Anyway, umm...you could ask Aniki! He looks just like me except he has a scar under his eye. [Ryou points to the spot on his own body.] And some burns on his arm and hand. [He gestures towards that area as well.] He has the same name as me too...

Are you twins? I don't think I've ever met twins before. Silent Hill is really small. Oh, right. I'm Lisa.

Ehe, not quite...but you'll recognize him when you see him, that's for sure!

[Ryou gives his head a polite bow.] It's a pleasure, Lisa-san. I wish I could be more help, but...

[He points back towards the dorm wing.] There's dorms back there, there should be some available if you need somewhere to rest.

Thanks, Bakura. Ah, do you know where your...er...brother is? I'd like to talk to him about this place.

[She gives him a shy, slightly distracted smile]

Um, well I know where he lives... [Then again, it would be sort of rude for him to just give out his room number.] But I really don't know when he's home.

If you want, I can try and find him for you.

If he knows more, I would really like that. And if it's not too much trouble.

I'll try and find him then, okay? [A little awkwardly.] You can wait here, or...I can show you where the rooms are first.

It's really creepy here, but I'll wait if you promise you'll come back. And soon. Please. I don't want to be left alone again for long. Especially not somewhere so strange.

[She pulls her cardigan close and rubs at her eyes nervously. The idea of being abandoned again so soon was not a comforting one. This place was both better and yet worse then the hospital at the same time. At least the hospital was familiar. This place was just so silent.]

Ah... [Now you're making him feel guilty. Ryou offers her a comforting smile.]

You can come with me, Lisa-san. I don't mind, especially if it bothers you that much.

Thanks! [She hadn't been expecting the invitation, but she was grateful all the same.]

It's just that...I was in a place like this when you let me out. The hospital was abandoned, too, except for Harry. I don't know what happened to him.

[With that settled, Ryou starts to walk down the hall as long as Lisa follows him. It might be rude to start walking so soon, but it might take him awhile to find Aniki.]

There's actually a lot of people here! I don't know what happened to the hospital you were at before, but this place is far from abandoned.

I mean...the island and school might be abandoned by whoever made it, but even if that's true, we're here with others. It's kind of like a shipwreck! Eheh...so to speak.

[She follows after him immediately, trying to stay close, but not close enough to unnerve the boy.]

Really? It doesn't seem like it just based on this hallway. Does nobody ever really come here? Where do they all go?

[He's kind of used to girls following him around, actually. They always do that at school...it's a little annoying!

But Lisa's not annoying him, he's more worried than anything.]

I really don't know...sorry, Lisa-san. Hopefully Aniki will be able to help.

[Ryou's heading towards Aniki's dorm now, but stops a door down to turn to Lisa.]

I'll go see if he's home, alright? Please wait here. [He bows his head and then hurries off to knock on the door.]

Oh, right, you said you've only been here for a few days.

Go on ahead. I feel a bit better now.

[She seems to be in better spirits once they left the North Wing, maybe simply because the oppressive atmosphere was gone.]

[Ryou glances over at Lisa again before knocking, stepping politely back from the door so as not to crowd Aniki when he opens it.

...Ah, hopefully it'll be Aniki, and not the Ring possessing him. He should have thought this through better.]

[When the door opens, it's definitely not the spirit in control. It might be hard to tell at first, since he's still wearing the spirit's beloved black trenchcoat, but the lack of spikes are a dead giveaway. That and the confused look of friendliness on his face.]

Ah-? Hi, Shoutei! Is something the matter?

Ah, I knew you were twins!

Lisa clicks over once the door opens, smiling as she looks over the pair ~~blood slowly dripping out of one ear~~. No, that's just her earrings.]

You two are so cute. I've never met twins before.

U-un, thank you, Lisa-san.

[Ryou's not even going to argue the point. It's probably an easier explanation to swallow right now than the truth. He looks back to Aniki, bowing his head gratefully.]

Aniki, I was wondering if you could help me for a moment? Lisa-san's confused about this place, but I'm not really in any position to explain...

[Woah hey was that blood-

No, no, it wasn't. His eyes must be playing tricks on him. He looks from the younger him to the strange nurse, worriedly.]

Un. I can help. Was there something in particular you needed to know, Lisa-san?

Ah, where are my manners? Do you two want to come in?

I don't mean to impose, but thank you so much. You're both so kind. Ryou actually saved me.

[She beams at the younger Bakura gratefully.]

[Ryou waves his hand modestly when he's beamed at.]

Ahah, it was nothing so heroic, I just opened a door. Anybody could have done it, I was just trying to help.

[He nods to his other self.] Un, I'd like that, thank you Aniki!

...I'm confused. How does opening a door save someone? Were you locked in a freezer or something, Lisa-san?

[Stepping back, he holds the door open for them. His dormitory is relentlessly neat, for the most part, with few signs of being lived in.]

Welcome. Please make yourselves at home. There's biscuits on the kitchen table you two can help yourself to, if you're hungry.

Thank you. I think I just need to sit down for a bit and get my bearings.

[Lisa files in, taking a seat at the table.]

It's going to sound strange, and maybe a bit silly, but I can't quite remember. I was in the hospital. There was someone else. He was the one who locked me up, but I don't know why. It was so dark and I was so scared. I think...

[This time a trickle of blood drips out of her nose and it's not a trick of the lighting. Lisa feels something on her lip and idly dabs at it with her finger. Pulling her hand away, she gasps in surprise.]

Oh! Oh my god, I'm sorry.

[She darts over to the sink to keep from making a mess in her host's apartment. At least she doesn't appear to be panicking over this. Instead she just pinches the bridge of her nose and leads forward, letting any drops of blood fall into the sink.]

[Ryou looks curiously around when he enters, sitting opposite Lisa and noting the stack of magazines on the table. Were they all about motorcycles...? It sure looked like it.

He brings his attention back to Lisa when she begins to explain herself, startling slightly at the sight of blood.]

A-ah! Lisa-san, are you okay? [He hops to his feet once more.]

-! [Since his younger half had the panicked questions part down, he quickly went to grab her some tissue, offering it to her.]

Did you hit your nose or something? Do you want some ice?
