The Secret Behind The Walls-Jojo's Bizarre Adventure

Chapter 4- Get Settled

You sat patiently in the waiting room reading on a book on dolphins till your guide would arrive. The lady at the front desk, that went by the name Ann, sweet girl honestly, she told you your guide would arrive in a few minutes so just be still till then. The clock ticking above your head was the only noise for a few minutes. The screaming came to a halt in about 10-15 minutes, it turned into hysterical sobbing soon after that was not as loud as the screaming but it wasn't really quiet either. 

At there was much coffee as a coffeeholic could want. While you were reading, however, the door suddenly opened and Koichi came through looking as anxious as yesterday. 

"Oh hey, Koichi" you waved at him earning a smile from him. 

"Oh! Hey? Um..sorry, Y/n was it?" Koichi offers a handshake to which you kindly return. 

"Yeah. So, what was the commotion out there?" You pointed outside the door to the hallway where the noise has long since stopped. Koichi looked a little embarrassed you had bear earshot of the noise. 

"Oh..that was one of our patients. He is always well behaved so we let him walk around for bit, he earned that privilege of course. But I guess he had a small breakdown. Nothing to worry about though." 

'Small'  You thought, 'That was the literal opposite of small'. Koichi smiled awkwardly and motioned you out into the hallway. 

"C' mon I'll show you around," He said already walking out the door. You followed silently and together the two of you walked down the hall. You couldn't help but notice the deeper into the building you went the darker it got. 

'It certainly wasn't like this yesterday' When Kira had shown you around it was bright, welcoming, unexpectedly clean, and organized. Now you walk and Koichi and the scent of lime and honeydew disappear as quickly as it comes and is replaced with a scent of watermelon that had been left out for several days. 

Koichi walks up to a sign which gives a brief map of the place. You glance at it, noticing the first-floor men's bathroom are on the left side and ladies on the right. The cafeteria also being on down the hall on the right, library down the left as well men's rooms, ladies rooms straight ahead including art rooms, and of course dean's office and management office back the way you came. 

"That a little confusing," You told Koichi. "At least half of this stuff couldn't be on the second floor?" 

"I know it's a little weird but you'll get used it eventually. Not to mention your new so you'll have about a month or so to get around the first floor before you have to start going to the second." Koichi reassuringly spoke. He would have given you a playful pat on the back for good measure but he..Koichi was up to your hip in height and a pat on the back wasn't exactly something he could do without a chair of some kind. You and Koichi walked to the cafeteria, you weren't even in eye-shot of the door before you heard a loud commotion. "We separate the patients into groups to make it a little easier" Koichi explained opening the door, you were surprised to see most of the patients having absurd hair colors and clothing, while at the same time staying in what you assumed to be the dress code. "Right now these patients are in B lunch, there are two more groups afterward." You nodded following along. 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After a bit more touring you had four hours left in your shift. 'Wonderful. I'll be before I know it'. You happily made your way down to the dean's office after you were called there a minute ago. You had to admit you got lost even with Koichi's instructions. But once you got there, Kira stood tall and looking quite impatient. 

"Sorry, I'm late. I got a little lost" You looked at Kira, and he looked back at you silently, then smiled.

"It's quite alright, I expected such from a newcomer" Kira opened the door to his office ushering you inside."Please, come in."

You walked into his huge office almost overwhelmed by the abstract paintings of art on the walls, ceilings, and even on his desk. Kira's suit was even in a bright violet purple. At the corner of your eye, you saw a hairless pink cat retreat underneath his desk. 'So he has a cat? That's cool I guess, I would have to assume it's against the rules, but whatever'. Kira sat down in his chair while you sat from the one across his desk. He pulled a drawer containing numerous files and plopped two on his desk. 

"I don't believe I've properly introduced myself. My name is Yoshikage Kira. I'm 33 years old. My house is in the northeast section of Morioh, where all the villas are, and I am not married. I work as an employee for the Kame Yu department stores, and I get home every day by 8 PM at the latest. I don't smoke, but I occasionally drink." Kira started starring at you intently with a fierce gaze. 

'What is going on here?' your questioning gaze when unnoticed by Kira. He continued, "I'm in bed by 11 PM, and make sure I get eight hours of sleep, no matter what. After having a glass of warm milk and doing about twenty minutes of stretches before going to bed, I usually have no problems sleeping until morning. Just like a baby, I wake up without any fatigue or stress in the morning. I was told there were no issues at my last check-up. I'm trying to explain that I'm a person who wishes to live a very quiet life. I take care not to trouble myself with any enemies, like winning and losing, that would cause me to lose sleep at night. That is how I deal with society, and I know that is what brings me happiness." Kira then stopped, looming over his desk to you when he solemnly whispered. "Although, if I were to fight I wouldn't lose to anyone."
