"So, how's school going?" The boy pulled himself up out of the bed, revealing his upper body, then slung his legs over the side. He was wearing Dr. Pepper sleeping pants.
"Pretty good, actually. I've finally met other people." She rubbed the back of her head and smiled genuinely at him.
"I see... You look like you caused another explosion." He said, eying the scar on her nose, and the dirt on her cheek. There was also some ash around her chin.
"I never cause explosions." She laughed a little. "My job is to keep the SANITY Project from rising again."
He chuckled. "I see." He stood up and put on a pair of insulated house shoes.
She helped him slip on a jacket. "Are you sure you took your medication, Kise?"
"Yes, Yumi-chii. I'm pretty sure." He smiled and hung on to her arm so she could escort him out of his room.
"Have you been eating?" She asked, opening the door and leading him to the stairs. He looked thinner than the last time she visited. His silence only told her that he hadn't been eating. "Why haven't you been eating...?"
"The cook was told not to put in any seasoning when cooking for me. Mother thinks that's what made me sick in the first place." He sighed as he cautiously made his way down the stairs.
"That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard..." She sighed, helping him along and keeping him from falling. "If anything, it made the food better."
Kise nodded and walked with her to the dining room. "I think she's gone... The cook and butler went to the store, and the maids are on break. I want you to cook." He sighed faintly as he sat at the table.
