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

[not_tomorrow]

[Up in the North Wing, there's a pounding on one of the doors. Someone or something wants out. But what's worse is the crying. The sounds of a woman, frightened to the point of tears, pounding on the door, hoping someone will let her out.]

P-please... [She sobs.] Please, Harry, open the door.

[The sobs continue for a while longer, alongside the desperate pounding on the door.]




Please don't leave me alone. Please!




Somebody?



[The weeping begins again.]

[She looks a bit confused, but glad to see the two all the same.]

Um, yeah, I'm fine. I was just getting to know Nurse Lisa. She has a lot of interesting stories about you all.

[She turns back to wave at the school nurse, opening the door wider.]

[Ryou was just as confused, if slightly frightened despite the good news.

He wanted to try and pretend what he'd seen back there in the apartment hadn't happened at all. Maybe they were just imagining it? Maybe it was...some sort of mirror trick?

Whatever it was, Lisa didn't have a scratch on her, and so he had to ask, if vaguely so.]

When...did you leave Aniki's apartment and come here, Lisa-san?

[fluffydeathdealer]

Good afternoon, Lisa-san! [He waved at the nurse, then realized the state of his hands and hid them behind his back. At her question, he shook his head.]

It's just paint. I should have washed my hands before I came out. Sorry. It looks bad.

[Now for the Lisa he came here to see.]

You just kind of disappeared, Lisa-san. We were kind of worried.

[not_tomorrow]

Huh, it's only been... [She trails off, thinking.] I think it's only been a half hour or so. We talked for a bit, had some cookies and then I left. I thought I said 'goodbye'. I'm sorry I worried you all. I'm...not sure why, though.

[onethirdthesoul]

But you...

[Ryou considered saying it, but stopped himself. If Lisa didn't know, maybe it was better that he didn't tell her. Whatever scary thing had happened, it was probably better off forgotten.

He plastered on a cheery smile as best he could, hiding his worry.]

You're right, sorry! I guess we're just easily worried, ne, Aniki?

gaaah sorry for lateness /flails

[fluffydeathdealer]

Ehe... it's fine! Don't worry about it.

[Probably best not to mention it. Yes, that's right... he didn't mean to forget, but he wasn't going to make her think he was crazy.]

I'm sorry to have bothered you, Lisa-san.

[not_tomorrow]

Oh, it's no problem. It's very sweet that you two came to check on me.

[She beams at them both.]

Do you want to join us?

[The other nurse blanches a little at the suggestion, having had to deal with Bakura in the past and his distressing injuries. Lisa catches sight of that. How strange.]

Oh, um, maybe some other time. But thank you both for stopping by. It makes me feel like I already have friends here.

[onethirdthesoul]

Un, well, I guess we'll see you later then.

[He tips his head politely, then takes a small step back, glancing over at Aniki with a hesitant smile.]

Have a nice day, okay, Lisa-san?

[Please...try not to disappear in any more bloody bathrooms. Ryou's still not so sure what to think of that.]

[fluffydeathdealer]

Ehe... sorry, Lisa-san. It's better that we don't. Please take care.

[Bowing his head politely, he turns to walk away, pausing to shoot Ryou a confused look. He doesn't understand any of this...

Behind them both, the spirit makes an invisible "my eyes are on you" gesture to the woman before following his host.]
