Killer's View:
Outer slowly opened his eyes, blinded by the light. Sci dimmed them and used a button to raise the upper half of the bed.

* Hey there Outer, I'm Sci, nice to meet you. How are you feeling?

Outer looked around for a bit before looking at Sci.

* I'm feel awfully dizzy...where am I..?

* Nightmare's castle, don't worry you're safe here. :)

Outer looked over at me.

* Are you okay..??

* I...I think so? Sorry..this is so weird...

I looked into his eyes before he asked-

* Who are you?

Morning

9am

Nightmare's View:
I eyed Killer as he entered the meeting late. He looked deflated. He sat down and kept to himself.

* You're late.

Killer remained silent, looking down. From what Blue had told me, Sci sound the cure, so Outer must've gotten better. I finished the meeting and kept Killer behind.

* How is he?

Killer didn't even raise his head.

* Blue told me you guys administered a cure, so he's good to go, right?

* ...He can't remember who we are...not even who I am...

A small part of me was happy to hear that news, he'd leave us alone.

But seeing Killer force himself to keep the tears in trumped by a long shot.

* You really love him?

* Yes...

I couldn't believe I was opposing my own policy.

* He can stay with us and be let out the room, if you really see a future with him then he's part of the family. But what happened before can never repeat again, am I clear?

He nodded and suddenly hugged me.

Disgusting.

* I don't hug.

* Thank you Nightmare, you're the best father a son could ask for. :)

Father-

1pm

Blue's View:
I knocked on the medical room door and let myself in. Sci was reading Outer's brain activity to look for abnormalities. Outer looked a lot better than before.

* Heyy, how's it going? Do you remember anyone..?

* I wish I could say yes...but I don't..you all seem very nice though. :) There was someone next to me all night...what was his name?

Sci took the straps off Outer's head.

* That was Killer, do you remember anything about him at all?

* No...but it felt warm by his side..who was he to me?

I showed him a picture on my phone.

* Your boyfriend. :)

* My brother let me have a boyfriend?!

He didn't even remember his brother's death...

I smiled and thanked Sci again. Dust was bringing food up for the both of them. I went to my room and made a phone call.
