Hold My Hand Through The Pain

/15/ Whirlwind of Doubt

Gone.

Cozbi was gone. But how? Why?

Time seemed to slow as Yuichiro told you everything that he had discovered. Mainly from how he was found in one of the courtyards. Which wasn't a whole lot to go off of, but it'd have to do for now. At least, until the Headmaster decided to disclose more to the students. If he even decided to do so...

Returning back to your dorm room, you slammed the door shut. Your thoughts jumbled with trying to wrap your head around it. Sinking down to the floor with you back against the door.

(F/n) raised their head upon hearing you come in. Giving a small tilt towards you before they hoped of the bed. Their eyes narrowing into slits at your form when they drew closer. Headbutting your hand to grab your attention.

You sighed at (F/n)'s silent reassurance and reached you hand out to pet them. Your mind still somewhere far away from the things surrounding you. Questioning why you felt so sick. You hadn't really known Cozbi good enough, he was simply your teasing roommate. Yet even so... you'd never thought he actually wouldn't be coming back. Leaving the room a bit emptier now.

You pulled (F/n) closer as they shifted into a small (f/c) bird like creature. Flying up to rest on your shoulder instead. You sighed, pressing yourself further against the door.

You certainly weren't going to be able to sleep anytime soon, you decided.

~Time Skip~

Your eyes fluttered open when a sudden knock had brought you back to reality. Guessing you must have passed out at some point. Seeing as you were still resting against the door with (F/n) still beside you.

You looked up to stare at the door handle, not really wanting to get up. Of course, that was until another knock had soon followed after the first a few minutes later.

"(Y/n)...?" A quieter voice then what you were used to called out your name. "Dorm Leader Sasaki sent me to get you. There's going to be a meeting in the main hall in a few minutes and he thought you might like to sit with us for it."

Your head rang at the sudden noises. Muttering under your breath as you stood up and finally opened the door. Sharp hazel eyes meeting your own (e/c) colored ones. Softening only briefly when he glanced upon you, while still waiting for an answer.

Stlancing around awkwardly until he stopped on the floor. "You.. don't have to."

"No, that's alright. I'd like to," you mumbled. While Kenji lightly nodded and motioned for you to follow him.

The walk there was as quiet as ever. Which you couldn't deny, you were thankful for it. You didn't exactly wish to talk right now with to many things happening all at once. How was anyone supposed to process any of this?

You two stepped into the main hall together. Taking a look around the room to see every student from all three dorms. A deathly silence being casted over them. Yet Kenji seemed to ignore this fact and continued over to the side resigned for Lepidoptera dorm.

The brown haired Dorm Leader immediately waved at you both. His smile a bit strained as he gazed at you both.

"I'm glad you decided to come sit with us.." He told you quietly. As if he was a bit scared to break the silence of the room. "The Headmaster should be here anytime soon."

"Is he going to tell us anything?"

"Not about Cozbi." Yuichiro responded. His eyes had grown colder now. "I beleive this is more for... the security of the school now. They still can't figure out what happened when he was... you know."
