Rhodes Island's Psychologist

Ch 51: I Can Use The Elevator

Lin Yie forgot there is a devil he is taking care of.

After he arrives at Kal'tsit's lab, he sees a white silhouette next to the door. She is looking at the ceiling so he follows her eyes to see anything there, but Lin Yie couldn't see anything interesting there.

That's our Nightingale.

Lin Yie rushes towards her, "Why are you sitting here?"

Nightingale lowers her head.

"Where's Dr Kal'tsit?" Lin Yie asks, "Shouldn't you be inside?"

Nightingale says slowly, "Physical examination..."

"Um?"

"Dr Kal'tsit... gave me a physical examination." Nightingale says, "After that, I left."

"... How long did you stay here?"

Nightingale shakes her head, "I don't know."

(...How troublesome)

Lin Yie scratches his head, "Did Dr Kal'tsit kick you out alone?"

"No." Nightingale shakes her head, "Dr Kal'tsit... has work to do. Very important work. I could feel she was not in a good mood, so I left."

(What does "not a good mood" even mean to her? Can Nightingale even understand others' emotions? if so that's progress, I hope.)

"What are you doing here then? Didn't Dr Kal'tsit tell you where your room is?"

"She did." Nightingale speaks at the same slow pace, "It's 13F."

"Why didn't you go then? Oh, you just don't know how to get there."

"I know the way. I just need to use the elevator, and I know how to use it." Nightingale says, "Dr Kal'tsit asked me if she should go with me, and I said no because I know how to use an elevator."

Lin Yie is more confused now, "Then, why didn't you go?"

Nightingale stays silent.

She gets up and walks past Lin Yie.

(U-Um... Am I missing something?)

Lin Yie sees a small metal box in her arms. It has Rhodes Island's logo on it.

"Did Dr Kal'tsit give that to you?" Lin Yie catches up with her and walks next to her, "Is that your new medication?"

No response.

"Did Dr Kal'tsit say anything about your health?"

No response.

"I bought a pineapple buns. Do you want some?"

"Yes," Nightingale answers quickly and looks towards the plastic bag in his hand.

"Sorry, I lied. The coffee shop below doesn't sell pineapple buns, but there's this." Lin Yie takes out a box of tiramisu, "Wanna try it?"
