"I think Oliver was the only one that woke up like normal,"
They mentioned.

I turned to Oliver and chuckled.
He was sitting at a table, reading a book. I plopped down next to him.

"Haha, right. Just in case something happened,"
Oliver turned to me and said with a smile.

"You could have woken us up,"
Emma said.

"But everyone was sleeping so soundly,"
He responded.

Emma started to think.
"I don't remember going to bed,"
She mutters.

"Zack carried you both there,"
Ray said and I turned to him.

"Oh, thank you, Zack!"
I said with a smile. Emma did the same.

Zack only held up his hand as if to say 'no worries'.

"What about Norman?"
I then asked.

"He was already gone by then,"
Ray told me.

I nodded slightly, not saying anything as I thought.

Ray handed me some breakfast and I thanked him.

Jemima and Yvette hurried over to me, sitting down next to me.
I smiled.

"Hey, you two,"
I said softly.

"Hi, Y/n!"
they said in unison, giving bright smiles.

We then started eating.

I put the clothes on the pins.
I reached for another and as I did, someone grabbed my hand.

"Who-"
I started, turning to the person.

"Oh, hi Hayato,"
I said with a chuckle.

"Hey-o,"
he smiled, handing me a shirt.

"Thank you,"
I said, putting it on the pins.

"Y/n,"
he started, looking at me with wide eyes full of curiosity.

"Uh, yeah?"
I asked.

"You're really pretty,"
he said with a smile.

I knew I had turned red by how he grinned.
"Thank you,"
I said with a bright smile.
"You're very... handsome,"
I said, cringing on the inside of how awkward it sounded.

He burst into laughter and I laughed slightly.
"Thanks!"
he said with a huge smile.

Grinning, he helped me put up the clothes.

I let out a sigh of relief once I finished.
Both Hayato and I plopped down.

"Who knew that took so much..."
I muttered.

"Not me,"
Hayato said.

I chuckled,
"Yup."

"Oh, Y/n where'd you get that?"
he asked, motioning to my bracelet.

I lifted my hand, looking at the bracelet.
"Um, it's kinda complicated... it was my papa's gift to me.
He was never able to give it to me though..."
I frowned.

Hayato nodded, sensing my sadness, he frowned.
"Sorry."
he said softly.

"Nah, it's fine!"
I said with a bright smile.

"Oh, good!"
he said with a sigh of relief.

His eyes then widened slightly.
"And that?"
he asked softly, looking at my neck.

My eyes widened slightly, and I subconsciously touched the small spot just above my shoulder.

"An attack,"
I said.

From the shelter, when it was attacked.
Of course, I still had marks from the bullets.
But I had this from the gas and the few rocks that fell on me.

Of course, I was safe from getting killed of it.

--Flashback--

I looked around, my whole body was aching.
I cried out in pain, my hand touching my shoulder.

My eyes widened as I felt the blood.
I looked at my hand, seeing the black blood that was oozing from my shoulder.

I took a deep breath, gritting my teeth.
It felt as if I was on fire.

I grabbed at my shirt, tears running down my face as I tried hard to break the cloth.
I soon did and I wrapped it around my shoulder.

--Flashback End--

Hayato nods slightly.
"Does it still hurt?"
he asked.

I shook my head.
"Nope. Well, not all of the time. Only when I move it a certain way,"
I said.

"Oooh that's good then! It won't hurt often!"
Hayato smiles.

I chuckle and nod.

He then stands up with a frown.
"I've gotta go,"
he says.

"It's fine. Go ahead,"
I say with a chuckle, and he nods, heading off with a smile.

I stood up and I looked over to Ray and Emma.
Ray caught my eye and I guessed it was important.

I skipped over to them.
