Sanemi's pov:

3 days has passed and tomioka still haven't waken up yet. I sat on the couch beside the bed, staring at tomioka's pale face. It was terrifying how similar he looked to a ghost. The door slid open and I turned my head, it was shinobu.

"Shinazugawa, I need to talk to you for a second" she spoke softly. I stood up and walked out of the room, closing the door behind me. She led me to her office and closed the door behind us.

"What is it?"

"Has tomioka been acting strange when you were on a mission with him?"

"What do you mean?"

"Let me rephrase the question, has tomioka been acting strange before, during and after meal times?"

"I don't think so" I replied, cocking my head to the side, trying to recall the memory.

"Didn't you eat together?"

"We did, but we only ate dinner together" 

"Then did tomioka act weird during dinner?"

"Yea..,he did"

"How so?"

"He eats small amounts of food and his smile looks more forced than normal. After dinner, he always goes to the toilet saying his stomach hurts"

"Shit...this is bad.."

"What? What is?" I grew increasingly concerned for tomioka.

"Did you see him eat breakfast or lunch?"

"Not really..."

"Damn it. This is gonna be hard" shinobu muttered, furrowing her eyebrows.

"What do you mean?"

"Tomioka has an eating disorder"

3rd person pov:

"Oh.." sanemi swallowed. Before he could even comprehend what shinobu had said, Aoi rushed into the room.

"Shinobu-sama! Tomioka-sama is awake!" The young girl shouted. Her face showed signs of relief and her eyes twinkled with hope. Upon hearing her words, Sanemi sped out of the room, muttering apologies as he bumbed into kakushis in the hallway. Sanemi's entered the room and saw giyuu sitting upright in his bed, staring outside the window. His hair was untied and it fell below his shoulders.

"Tomioka!" Sanemi called out.

"Nice to see you, shinazugawa" the brunette replied animatedly. Sanemi let out a sigh of relief, even though giyuu was still emotionless, he was alive.

"Moshi, moshi, tomioka!" Shinobu greeted. Sanemi flinched, he didn't notice his friend standing behind him. Shinobu walked to giyuu, purposely hitting sanemi's shoulder as she passed him.

"Don't run in the hallways" shinobu snapped, glaring at sanemi.

"Nice to see you, shinobu"
