It was currently late afternoon. Most of the patients are sleeping except for Kaveh and Al Haitham. The blonde was busy doing his hair while holding a pocket mirror while Al Haitham was reading a book.

Al Haitham was seated at the small bench near the window of the ward, while also reading a book.

His eyes were immersed once again in the fascinating story of the book. He didn't notice Kaveh busy brushing his hair, until he heard his friend call him.

Al Haitham quickly looked over, to see Kaveh standing beside him while looking through a mirror. He looked different, somehow. He looked.. gorgeous... His eyes sparkled.

"Oh, what are you doing?" Al Haitham asked softly.

"Brushing my hair. Isn't it beautiful?"

Kaveh said, immersed in his golden locks. Eyes fluttered closed like a princess

Al Haitham couldn't help but agree with his friend's words.

"Your hair.. is like a golden flame.." He spoke softly, his voice filled with admiration.

Al Haitham then watched Kaveh closely as he continued to brush his golden hair.

"Your hair is beautiful, Kaveh.." Al Haitham spoke again, with a soft smile on his face as he continued to admire his friend's appearance.

Kaveh bid back a smile before his eyes widened and got up from his bed and clapped excitedly

"Did you know?"

Kaveh looked both ways to make sure no one else was around before whispering

"This hospital is hunted.."

Al Haitham slowly looked up from the book, and was surprised as he heard Kaveh's excited voice. He quickly put his book down, and faced him.

The surprise on his face grew larger as he heard what Kaveh had said, and he was surprised.

"It's haunted...?" He asked, sounding intrigued. Al Haitham was intrigued by the thought of it, but also a little nervous too considering how he was inside the hospital himself.

"Yeah! It's said the Piano room was abandoned because the sounds of the keys can be heard, even though no one is inside.."

Kaveh sat beside Al Haitham on the bench near the window and leaned closer

Al Haitham listened to Kaveh's words.. the more he heard, the more curious he was. It was intriguing, but also unsettling for him at the same time. He looked a little nervous.

"So you mean to say, the hospital is haunted.. and ghosts roam the place..?"

He asked in a soft tone, his heart beating fast as he heard that explanation. He was still curious though, as he leaned in closer to hear what Kaveh had to say.

"Not sure. It could be fake rumours spreading around..."

The ex-Architect shrugged, seemingly just sharing what he had in mind to help with the quietness. Kaveh looked over at Al Haitham and saw the book he was reading

"What book is that about?"

"I don't know... it's about the old ruins and relics, and how they shape our world." Al Haitham explained to him.

He then looked down at the book with a nostalgic gaze, and he couldn't help but remember all his time studying in the Akademiya, where he had studied the ancient relics and gained a lot of interesting knowledge about them. Al Haitham felt the urge to look up at their history now, but he quickly shook these thoughts away.
