*I feel my eyes widen in surprise as I realize Retro is staying for me. Not for some test, not to keep me from getting up, just to comfort me. It's an odd feeling, one I'm pretty sure I don't deserve... but her hand is warm and her presence so calming... we both look out the window and I stare at Retro for a while without realize it. To me she seems strong and beautiful and everything I'd want to be some day*
[Probably just reiterated Red's earlier statement there, but she really really looks up to Retro!]

*I stare out the window for awhile when I feel her eyes on me. I turn back to her and smile, giving her hand a slight squeeze. I look back out the window and at the blinking stars barely seen through the haze of city lights. Tall buildings reach up towards the heavens, monuments to humanities ability to survive our own attempt at destroying one another. I watch the silhouettes of people move around their apartments or bend over desks doing paperwork, all unawares of watchful eyes. I am almost comforted by this, it's almost like before except I have to remind myself that they are unfeeling and have nothing worth living for. This is Red's fate if she ever makes it to adulthood. I sigh and glance back at her. Perhaps there's a chance I can help her escape back out into the zones. Wilson will get her killed if she stays with him much longer.*

[Dr. Brian:]
*I look at Dr. Jarva's status over the BLI net and, yes, he's an activated doc again. I nod slowly* Ok, you can come on rounds with me, but don't say I didn't warn you.
*We stop by the nurses' station. The only change is Mahoney, who has improved enough that she could potentially be released today. I'll have to talk to her about that. I'm still worried about her depression, however, and am not paying much attention as we head to Red's room. I look up as we walk in and stop* Sylvia! You made it already over here? Are the nurses aware? No, of course not-
*I walk a little closer and see she is comforting Red, who is also awake. I resist the urge to check both of them, seeing as how Main already looks like she is on edge. They both look better from where I'm standing, however, and that gives me an idea* Sylvia... you are due to be discharged tomorrow. Would you like to be moved into Red's room until that happens?
*Doctor Jarvis looks at me curiously. The move is very un-BLI, but the sleep deprivation is starting to take it's toll and I don't care*

*I look up when the paper ball hits me, staring at Morand.* Do that again and the paper will end up so far down your throat you won't be able to take pills for a week. No offense.

*I see Dr.Brian and my grip unconciously tightens on Retro's hand. There's a doctor behind him that I do not recognize, which only increases my anxiety. In my experience, new doctors are never a good sign*

*the hospital hasnt changed much since I left. The air is still filled with the scent of cleaning solutions and air fresheners. We get to reds room the girl is smaller than i had imagined. I give her a warm smile when i notice the fear in her eyes and hold her other hand gently* Its nice to finally meet you red my sister has told me much about you.

*I glance up at him and remain silent, thinking it over before nodding my head. I'd be bored out of my mind sitting in my room till tomorrow and Red obviously needs me. I think about mentioning leaving to Brian but realize he has no authority in the matter. It's probably best kept to myself anyways.*

*I pull my hand away from the new doctor, unsure who he is or who is sister is. I'm elated when I hear Dr.Brian suggest Retro move into my room and she agrees. I'm too tired to show it, though, so I just smile a little and I don't even fight when Dr.Brian checks my eyes and pulse. He also switches out an IV and I notice it has a special orange label*

[Dr.Brian:]
*I have two orderlies move another bed into Red's room, which is technically meant for two people anyway. I leave some pills on the table, explaining to Retro that they are just pain meds for when her side begins hurting again. I also explain that she'll need to lie down in a few hours if she really wants to be discharged tomorrow. I turn to my mentor* Ready to go, Dr.Jarvis? I have fifteen other patients to see still.

*I watch them bring in a bed and give Red's hand a gentle, reassuring squeeze. I eye the painkillers that Dr. Brian gives me, sure he's not lying but suddenly not caring if he is. I watch as they leave and the room is quiet again. I look down at Red and smile slightly.* You need to sleep hun. I'm going to be right over here okay?

*I nod, letting go of Retro's hand. A nurse comes in and takes some blood samples, but suddenly I'm so tired I'm almost asleep before she's done. I look out the window one last time as the nurse dims the lights, the five or so stars visible staring down on me...on everyone in BLI*

*I rub her knee lightly before getting up and laying down myself. I stare up at the ceiling, trying to sleep but thoughts race through my head. The future is unknown and my brain thinks up dozens of possibilities as to what could happen. I sigh and grab the notebook and pen off Red's nightstand and begin drawing her as a way of calming my thoughts and dealing with insomnia.*

*I catch the paper ball with one hand and draw my ray gun with the other, dropping the paper into the bin and shooting Morand in the foot.*
Sorry for not keeping my word. Didn't want to get my sleeve dirty.
*I pick up a folder and stand to go file it*

*i wake up from a light sleep when I hear voices getting closer to my bed. I recognize Dr. Brian's voice but there's a second one that I don't. I lay back and count the ceiling tiles for what feels like the hundredth time, if he comes in I'm just going to give him the same answer about the psychiatrist, because I know he'd ask me again*

Yes, I'm still running - sort of. But it is lonely out here. Haven't seen anyone else for a while.
