☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆Rui's POV:
A Paranoid Schizophrenic patient? That's new. Tsukasa Tenma? Cute name. And he's quite cute too. Oh man RUI STOP IT! NOT THIS AGAIN! STUPID! He's your new patient. I can't do that! Okay. Breath. He's in room... 305? Like that haunted room where a woman killed herself because of her husband!? This poor boy. And he's my age.
I walked into Room 305 and looked around. A shorter boy was sitting and rocking back and forth while crying and assumingly throwing up.
"Hey, are you okay?" I asked softly.
"I-I'm s-scared...!" He whimpered to me.
"Why?" I bent down and made eye contact with him.
"Ev-veryone h-here wa-ants to hurt me!" He pushed himself slightly further into the room corner.
"Don't worry. I won't ever hurt you. I promise. I will take care of you." I crawled a few inches closer to him and put my hand out.
"Will you protect me...?" He asked with puppy eyes.
"Yes. I will do everything to help you." I smiled slightly. The boy crawled over to me and gave me a tight hug.
"I'm Tsukasa." He said nuzzling his head into my neck.
"I'm Rui Kamishiro." I chuckled.
Tsukasa pulled away from me, still smiling.
"So, why are you here? Do you know?" I crossed my legs and sat Indian style. He stayed on his knees.
"I... I was hearing voices and seeing shadows. They would watch me when I sleep, make me do things I didn't want to do... I began refusing to leave the house. I felt like nothing around me was real. Everything was changing. I could barely speak. I was scared. At the time, I didn't feel much. I lost my emotions. I didn't care. One of the shadows told me that my sister murdered my friend. My friend Emu was murdered by an unknown woman. I didn't believe them at first, but they started giving evidence. I started understanding. I killed my own sister. I bashed her head in."
I felt sick. This poor boy. But he KILLED his sister?
Jesus.
"Do you need anything right now?" I ruffled Tsukasa's hair.
"No. Not right now. I'm fine, thank you." Tsukasa smiled and waved as I walked away.
Tsukasa's POV:
Maybe not everyone hates me after all...?

Rui's POV:
(The next day)
I walked over to Room 305 to wake Tsukasa up. I opened the door, Tsukasa was sound asleep hugging his pillow.
'Cute...
GOD DAMNNIT RUI!'
I tip-toed to Tsukasa and shook him awake lightly.
"Tsukasa-Kun... Wake up..." I whispered.
Tsukasa's eyes fluttered open and he yawned.
"Good morning, Rui." He said softly.
"How are you feeling?" I asked.
"Fine, now that you're here to protect me." He giggled. I felt a light blush spread across my face.
"Heh... Yeah... But, you have to get up so you can get washed and ready for breakfast." I grabbed his hand and tried to get him out of bed.
"Okay, fine..." He grumbled and followed me to the bathhouse.
