*yawn* Zara woke up, she opened her eyes seeing that she's still in cell 8, Liang, Upa, and Qi, already awake (well Qi is half awake) "Goodmorning"

"Goodmorning" the three said, they smiled as they were really happy of her company, Liang helped her up to her wheelchair, and Qi placed her blanket to cover her legs on her lap, while Upa just started a conversation

"Hahaha" Zara laughed at how Upa poorly describes Qi on purpose, Qi blushed in embarresemt at that comment since Zara was here, Zara had missed times like this where she could just be normal, though one thing was still missing from this... Uno, she wished he and her would have talks like this again

"Cell 8, no. 10, time to eat your breakfast" Samon announced as he opened the cell door

"Morning Samon" Zara said

"Morning" Samon smiled, she is by far the only inmate who has greeted him a goodmorning, it's really refreshing to hear "Let's go"
°°°°°°

"Hey Uno? Are you not feeling well? You have large bags under your eyes, you should eat" Rock said, noticing the large and dark eye bags Uno has, as well as his constant looking towards the doorway

"Just eat" Jyugo said as he even gave Uno his bread

"...k" He said, he shrugged everything on his mind to eat, he'll just pretent she was never here in the first place
°°°°°
"This taste amazing, just like dinner" Zara said as she ate chinese food with cell 8 and Samon, which they just giggled at her reactions

"Told you!" Liang said as he shared his steamed buns with her, he broke it in half and gave the half to her, she said her thanks and ate it with delight

"Well, you haven't traveled much I guess, that's why you've yet to know such flavors" Samon said as he checks the time, he frowned slightly "Hurry up, it's about time Hajime comes and get you"

"Eh? Already?" Upa asked

"And I was planning on teaching her how to play mahjong" Qi commented

"Sorry, but I heard that they do woodwork twice a week, if I get lucky, I might be send here again" Zara said, the others would probably wait for her either ways so they said their proper goodbyes and left. Samon and Zara went to the office and saw Hajime

"See you again no.10"

"You too Samon, please say goobye to the others"

"Sure. Oh and Hajime, you can count on me to watch over her anytime" Samon said

"Yeah yeah, I have to get her back now, someone's still silently angry about her dissapearance" Hajime said
°°°°°°

"......." Jyugo, Nico, and Rock sweatdropped at Uno, he was playing cards with them, but will always look at the cell door once he heard footsteps

"Uno, it's your turn what are you taking so long" Nico asked

"....oh.. here" Uno placed a card down [Author: I don't really know how to play cards except the game Uno]

*creak* The cell door opened and Uno's head snapped towards that direction, it was Zara and Hajime "Finally back here" Hajime sighed in relief, he glaced at Uno yo see his reaction, and so far it looked like he lost all of his anxiety

"Uno, what's wrong? You like tired, didn't you sleep yesterday? I'm sorry if I didn't come up with a longer message"  Zara said as she pushed herself infront of Uno

Uno snapped back and frowned "Nah, I was just playing cards late at night, and I don't need your message, it's fine if you didn't tell me"

"I see, well shouldn't you sleep now? I don't want you tired" Zara said as she smiled sadly at his reply

"Can't you see I'm playing? Entertain yourself with some magazines" Uno then turned back to their game. Jyugo, Rock, and Nico felt sorry for Zara, Hajime stood outiside the cell not really knowing if he should maybe do something? I mean it's pretty personal

(Time skip after the card game)

"Ne ne What did you do at building 5?" Nico asked as he sat next to her

"Oh at first Samon toured me around the garden, it was pretty fun, I also got to mee the other guards, then Samon needed to go away because he has to go to the warden's office so he placed me in cell 8, I got along with them pretty well, they were a lot of fun" Zara said in joy, Uno sat at a corner listening to her, but isn't responding

"Well we have woodwork this friday, maybe you'll get send back there, or wednesday? Cause in wednesday we have this excercise with Yamato, as well as Saturday" Nico continued to tell Zara about their schedule the whole month, it seems that there's a lot of things to do

"Oh wait I forgot, I brought a souvenier from building 5" Zara grabbed a small bag hanging from her wheelchair handle, and took out some steamed buns. Jyugo, Rock, and Nico thanked her and ate it

Uno silently stared at Zara as she pushed herself infront of him "Here Uno, I grabbed the biggest one for you" she took it out and handed it to him

"..not hungry, just eat it or give it to Rock" Uno said

Zara smiled sadly "I see.. sorry, I forgot it's just a few minutes after everyone ate breakfast, how silly of me right?" Uno didn't reply so Zara sadly went back to the other three as they were calling her

(Midnight)

Everyone is now asleep, Uno kneeled down near Zara's futon, and saw the steamed bun she wanted to give him in a container with a note on top saying 'if you are hungry eat this Uno, and have a goodnight' , she really didn't gave it to the other since it was meant for him, he took the bun in his hand and took a bite "...it's cold" he said to himself, he glanced at Zara and saw her blanket going down, he pulled it up for her then tucked some of her hair behind her ear

She grabbed his hand, he tensed up "Uno.. I brought a steamed bun for you" she said, he sighed in relief she was just sleeptalking again, but why him? He would never know if he keeps his pride up.He ate the remaining steamed bun, threw the container in the trash then slept
