A few hours later, Cat climbs up to Hour's bed.
"Are you feeling better?" She asks, feeling guilty.
Hour nods in disagreement.
"Does your neck feel better?"
Hour nods in agreement.
"Can I take the sleeve off?"
Hour gives the same response as before. Cat carefully unties the sleeve and throws it away next to a trash can near their's and Vine's bunk. She takes a moment to gaze at Hour's neck, smelling the strong metallic from the dry blood. Out of nowhere, Doctor Chan bursts open the doors with two yellow and white striped nightgowns.
"I'm looking for two members of this district named Cat and Vine."
Cat and Vine anxiously walk up to Doctor Chan. Doctor Chan glares at Cat's ripped off sleeve.
"May I ask what happened to your sleeve?"
Cat pauses for a moment. Hour looks over.
"The elevator almost closed on me. It ripped off my sleeve and I bruised my arm really bad it started to bleed a little bit. If you want you can look in the trash can." Cat fibs.
Doctor Chan gives a disgusted face.
"Good thing you're getting new ones anyway." She gags.
Doctor Chan walks closer to the door, Vine and Cat stay where they are in "confusion".
"Well, don't just stand there. You both are moving districts. Couldn't you tell? Come along now." Doctor Chan says, dangling the nightgowns.
Hour stares and holds his tears. Vine and Cat follow Doctor Chan. Cat glances at Hour, giving a nod. Signaling she'll be okay.
**************************************************
Doctor Chan takes them into another unknown floor. Again it was a dentist looking room but instead it had just one single changing room. Doctor Chan hands both girls their nightgowns.
"Go change." She orders.
"Who first?" Vine questions.
"Haven't you heard sharing is caring? Go. Change." Doctor Chan explains, her voice deepening.
The girls struggle to both change in one cramped dressing room. They finally come out, looking fresh and new.
"Yellow is definitely more your girls' color." Doctor Chan smiles, chuckling evilly.
