"This hospital breakfast looks like shit."

"You look like shit."

Its been a whole week since the incident. Lev was sprawled out on the bench in Kenma's hospital room. The morning sunshine slid idly through the blinds and filled the white room with warmth.

"Once I get out of this bed, Lev I swear I'm going to stomp on your neck."

"Be my guest."

Kenma grunted and threw a piece of sausage to his face. "Thanks, I needed that." Lev popped the sausage into his mouth and looked out the window.

"I'm just glad you're not dead."

Kenma rolled his eyes.

"Stop getting emotional and sappy around me, its annoying.. But it's reassuring you care. I hate you."

Lev half smiled. "I hate you too."

The door opened and a nurse entered along with a tech. Said nurse takes the finished tray of shameful breakfast outside as the tech closes the door behind them.

"Good morning, gentlemen. I have great and not-so-great news to share, which would you like to hear first?"

"Great news!" exclaimed Lev.

"Kenma, you will be free from this hospital by tomorrow."

"Oh hell yes." Kenma raised a fist to the air.

"Not-so-great news.. We are still searching for the suspect of the attempted murder. Police and investigators will be going around the city patrolling every night for suspicious individuals."

Lev thought about Ayumi and her suspicious behavior. The murderer could be anyone. They could even be sitting in the same room or building as him.

"That'll be about it. Have a great day you two. Contact me if needed." The tech says and slips out the door.

Lev turns his head to Kenma. "What exactly happened? Tell me everything. Who did it?"

Staring at the wall, the other boy deeply sighed, his back shuddering. "I was just about to go to sleep when I felt a pair of strong hands strangling my neck from behind and a knife stabbing into my back. They must've gotten through the open window which is strange because I always keep it locked.. And the walls..."

Lev raised an eyebrow. "What about the walls?" He almost regretted asking because of the rare look of fear in his friend's eyes.

"Look, I just know it wasn't red paint. Written in blood, it kept repeating the phrase 'leave or be dead'. I was scared shitless and bam the stabbing occurred."

Lev could feel goosebumps spreading around his arms despite wearing a jacket.

"Did you know.. who it was?"

Kenma shrugged. "No. But it could be that Ayame girl."

"..Ayumi. Its Ayumi."

"Whatever. But it seemed she had some connection with it."

"How?"

"Remember when she had a seizure because she said someone was going to hurt you? Who was she talking about?"

"I don't know, I'll have to ask when I meet her again."

"Whoever it is she was talking about must be the suspect."

"Your reason?"

Kenma kicked off the sheets and crossed his legs on the bed. "I think that Ayumi might be giving us a message or clue."

Lev thought about this deeply and came up with all the suggestions of people who could be responsible for this crime. "I don't know anyone who could've done this, but there has been strange shit going around in the hospital.. possibly relating to the incident-"

"Like what?"

Lev thought about it for a moment until his eyes met Kenma's again. "The other night I went to go for a drink of water. Everything was fine up until there were strange noises that seemed to come from a person. It was really late and I supposed I was the only one up... but I was wrong. I was scared shitless so I was on my way to my room when I saw what I think was a girl with long black hair running in my direction. Her head was facing down so I couldn't see her face. And that's how I ended up with the cuts in my arm."

"Long black hair you say.."

"I'm positive it was not Ayumi."

Kenma narrows his eyes at him. "And what makes you say that? Its not like you personally know her."

"I know but.. I just have a feeling it was not her. And I would like to keep believing that."

A rough knocking came from the door which made the two men jump.

From the other side of the door came a low muffled voice of a man.

"The police are here."
