Roseanne read the letter to him next, in which they told him that they were proud of him and were wishing him a quick recovery. She noticed the way Raven got tears in his eyes as she finished reading off the letter to him. Roseanne then silently folded the letter neatly and handed it to him, to which he responded by grabbing it with his good hand and clutching it to his chest. His mobility in his new prosthetic arm was very limited. He still could not figure out how to send signals for movement from his brain to his new limb. Both of them knew it would take some getting used to.

As it got further into the afternoon, Roseanne started to wonder why Ciel was taking so long to come back to his dorm. He rarely liked to leave his room whenever they had free time. She decided to look out for him as she went up to the cafeteria to get some dinner for her and Raven. She spotted him sitting at the table with their group. They all looked up when they saw her walk up to the line and picking out something she thought she and Raven would like. For her it was a ham sandwich with lots of veggies. For Raven she picked out a plain spicy chicken sandwich, since it was what she mostly saw him grab when it was available at dinner. She had to pass her group's table to leave the dining area and as she passed them, Ciel perked up and rose from his place at the table.

"Hey Rose, I have to talk to you. Do you have a minute?" He asked her, following her a few steps away after she passed them. From the table, both Scarlet and Ivory watched her intently. They were the most interested whenever any of the boys seemed to talk to Roseanne.

She nodded and he went past her to leave the lunch room. He had spent the whole day talking to the members of their team, excluding Cedar, Ivory, and Scarlet. They had all agreed that they would do a big switch around in the dorms so that Roseanne could stay the remainder of their week and a half with each other. They had all agreed and they would move their things around after curfew hours, and in the dark so as the other three members of the team would not find out.

With her dinner and Raven's neatly packed in boxes and tucked away in a bag, she leaned against the wall tiredly and heaved a sigh. She didn't much talk to Ciel. He was more of Indy and Mauve's friend, he was very close with the two of them. Third closest to him was Raven, then Seville and Cedar, then maybe Roseanne. He clearly didn't like Ivory and Scarlet at all and he never even looked in Honey's direction. She thought Ciel was nice, but she just felt like they had absolutely nothing in common. They didn't like the same things, and it made her wonder if her crush on him so long ago was merely superficial. She thought she was handsome, so she had a crush on him. That was all there was to it, with absolutely no depth. Ciel was a good person, and they got along with each other. She heard things from Raven, how he was always trying to help out and give him advice despite them being the same age.

When she said nothing to him and waited for him to explain, he finally spoke. "So I was thinking maybe you can just stay in my room the remainder of our time in the Garden so you can watch over Raven." He said sheepishly, scratching the back of his head. He thought it was a good idea, but he wasn't sure how well received it was going to be by his team's co captain. "Its only a week and a half and I already talked to everyone about it. Seville's staying in your room with Honey, and I'll be staying in his room with Mauve. I can help you move your things in tonight after curfew."

Roseanne's eyes widened and she lowered her voice into a whisper. She looked both ways up and down the hallway before proceeding to speak. Luckily for them, everyone was currently in the lunch room having their last meal of the day. But they both knew there were cameras all over that caught everything. And what was worse was that Ivory had it out for her and she knew nothing would make her happier than to see Roseanne and Raven get in trouble. "You do realize that's not allowed, Ciel?"
