==========
Our protagonist lay in a dark room, lying on his bed. The door shut while the blinds were down. His eyes, dark under the stress of little sleep, stared at the ceiling, the memory replaying in his head over and over again.
The coldness.
*Knock Knock*
"Y/n? Are you there?" Mei's voice came through the reinforced door. At first, Y/n was really surprised that they could talk through the door, but eventually got used to it.
'Soundproof my ass...' Y/n thought. "...I'm still here."
"Is it okay if I come in?" Mei asked.
"I..." Y/n considered it. A week of isolation really made him miss the connection he was missing out on with his friends. Even so...
"- I think I want to be alone for a little more." Y/n said.
"Okay, just reach out to me if you ever need anything." Mei said as the sound of a bento box being placed onto the floor was heard. "The food here's ready, I had to make a new portion because Kiana ate a bit too much."
Y/n let out a hollow chuckle. "Tell me about it."
"Well, like I said. If you need anything, reach out to me, I'll be there." Mei said as the sound of footsteps could be heard.
After a bit, Y/n got up from his bed, opened the door, and took the bento. As he closed the door, he could feel the warmth of the bentobox. He sat down by the table and opened it, revealing the food that Mei had made and a pair of chopsticks.
"My favorite, huh? " He smiled as he noticed Mei's signature cooking. "Thank you for the food..."
As he ate, he reminisced about the time he ate with his squad and friends. The laughter and joy... until Nami came up.
Y/n's hand froze as the thought of Nami came up. The sadness, regret, anger... they still lingered in his mind. He let out a sigh as he leaned back into the chair, his thoughts now clouded with the memory.
Y/n thought of many 'what if' scenarios during his time in his room. He thought about what he could've done to prevent her death. It got to the point where even he knew that it wasn't good for him... but he couldn't stop.
'What if...' Y/n glanced at his phone before making the decision. He grabbed his phone and opened it, and tapped the call app.
As the call was made, Y/n took a deep breath before the person picked up. "Hey... can I talk to you in person?"
=====
As night came, Y/n finally exited his room. The hallway looked empty as everyone was probably asleep. He quietly made his way to the front door before leaving, closing it and locking it behind him before making his way towards his destination.
In front of him was the laboratory. He gathered himself before entering, the smell of chemicals hitting his sense of smell as the sight of Mobius, focusing on her writing, came into his view.
"Hey, Mobius." Y/n greeted her. "How are you?"
"I'm fine." Mobius said, turning towards him, still in a lab coat. "Although I should be the one asking you... How are you holding up?"
"I've... been better." Y/n answered, scratching his neck. "Mobius, look, I need your help with something."
"So I'm guessing it wasn't a social call then?" Mobius said, turning back to her writing, the tapping of the keyboard being heard. "Alright, not the first time I had to help someone, especially Pardofelis with her homework."
