-- Walk towards the outer fence ✓
Option chosen!!
----------------------------

I continue to walk along the wall until I reach the fence. There aren't many people around here, and about half of them are orderlies and guards.

Although, there is a familiar face. Ruggie is sitting against the bars of the inner fence, looking out at the road placed outside of the outer wall.

I walk over to him, being careful not to spook him. He glances up at me, his movements slightly sluggish.

"Hey there doc." Ruggie says with a smile, his ears flicking back slightly.

"Good morning Ruggie." I move to sit next to him. "What are you doing over here?"

"Eh, just watching the cars. Thinking." He says airily, his temple resting against the metal bar. "... And wondering how much struggle it could be to fit through this bar." He says playfully.

I chuckle softly. "I dunno, seems pretty difficult. I can barely fit my arm through all the way."

"Shishishi, you tested that or something?"

"I don't have to, I can see that there's no way you'd fit."

He chuckles softly, before sniffing softly.

It's quiet for a while, but the quiet isn't as awkward as I thought it would be. It's kinda comforting, the distance droning of conversation, the hum of cars as they drive by.

... Although, I can't help but look back at where I just was. Bea is still there, his eyes practically burning holes into my head. He smirks as he sees me looking, making a few gestures with his hands. I quickly look away, back to Ruggie.

"... Yaknow, you don't have to hang around me. I'm okay." Ruggie says after a while.

I tilt my head at him. "You sure? If you need anything, let me know? I have an office now, so you can come and visit me."

Ruggie didn't respond for a moment, before a cheeky smile spreads on his face. "Got it. Thanks doc."

I smile at him as I stand up, before starting to make my way to the next area.

I walk away from the walls... Away from the eyes boring holes into the back of my skull. There's only two places I haven't seen yet...
