Chiyo watched as the shadows formed a shape, and the boy, Alex was standing in front of her once again. "So you.. are Alex." Chiyo couldn't help but let a small smile escape. She wouldn't fail Mr. Simon this time. "Come with me?" She held her hand out, hoping Alex would take it.

Without a look on modern society, the only social aspect of a conversation that most of the patients had were the conversations held with friendly nurses or doctors. The children were not allowed televisions, radios or even books for that matter. But on a special occasion, Mr. Simon would sneak a few in and read them to his patients after the lights went out. Maybe that's why he wanted them to leave? Normal kids laugh, and play, and joke with each other. But the children imprisoned on OKAMI's ground do not even know how. In fact, Chiyo had talked to many of the other patients before. But she did no more than converse. That was all she knew how to do.
