Raion sat on the edge of Lightning's bed, watching her silently until she spoke to him. "Don't worry," he said calmly. "We always find a way out of here."<br/>But his words didn't mean much in their present situation. Even if, by some miracle, Lightning was able to escape again, she would just be re-captured. And besides, this time, she had been here so long.<br/><br/>Natsume perched on the windowsil of the playroom, absently watching a fly making its journey down the glass. His mind was a storm of recent memories. As his eyes focused on the fly, all he could see was his father, laying on the floor, unmoving.<br/>The image never quite left him.<br/>Getting bored with being in one place for so long, he slowly climbed down from the windowsil and made his way towards the door. But, before he made it out of the room, an arm blocked his path.<br/>"It's one of those newbies," a sneering voice said. "The ones who think they're better than everyone else. I don't think I've even heard this one talk."<br/>It was a boy, a little older than Natsume, but much larger. Natsume looked up at him, his expression bored. Wordlessly, he pushed the boy's arm out of the way.<br/>Furious, the boy reacted instantly, grabbing Natsume by the scruff of his neck and shoving him against the wall. "I dare you to keep ignoring me. See what happens!"<br/>Unseen by the large boy,  one of the younger children, who had been watching from the middle of the playroom, began scurrying over to them.<br/>Natsume paid no attention to the child. He simply began to laugh. An amused, , knowing laughter, which infuriated the larger boy further.<br/>Raising his fist, the large boy got ready to deliver a punch to Natsume's face. But instead, he let out a cry of pain. The young child behind him had launched an action figure at the back of his head, and while he was distracted, had sunk his teeth deep into his arm.<br/>Jimmy hung from the boy's arm like a small dog, and Natsume watched, the bored expression returning to his face. He looked almost disappointed, as though an opportunity had been taken from him.<br/><br/>From his place near the front of the room, Jay watched as Siobhan entered, making her way, as usual to the back. He stood, leaving his belongings where they were, and hurried up to her seat.<br/>"Yo," he said casually, although he had never spoken to her before. "That Hajime guy was here earlier. He had a message for you. He's taking time off until further notice...I don't know why he bothered asking me to tell you. He's never here anyway. But apparently something 'important' came up." He spoke lazily, the last sentence with a slight sarcastic edge.
