The next day at school, Natsuki was with her friends eating lunch with Mai, Mikoto, Nao, Chie, and Aoi who were asking her one question after another about how it was.
“It was okay. It's the size of a jail though with a lot of people along with a lot of rooms, too,” Natsuki said.
“Were there any perverts looming around?” Mai wondered.
“What? No! Just a lot of people talking to themselves, though when I walked by their cell,” Natsuki said eating a hamburger with mayo on it.
“Was it scary?” Nao said, “You probably peed your pants when you saw someone staring at you!”
“No, you asshole! Truthfully, it was kinda nice. I thought I was going to be scared because of hearing how the people are in the asylum, but actually, it wasn't as bad as I thought. Especially when I was hanging around with Shizuru all day.”
Chie almost choked on the food that she was eating as Aoi patted her back. “Did you just say Shizuru? Fujino Shizuru?”
“Yeah. Why?”
“She's the one who suddenly went ballistic one day, came to school with a bat, and started attacking everyone!”
“I heard from Mai here yesterday last night all about what she did. Didn't she attack thirteen people or something?”
“Yeah. She came out of nowhere one day and started attacking every classroom with a metal bat and attacked everyone in the school,” Chie said, “And according to the news, Shizuru injured I think more than thirteen people in the school.”
“Yeah, I think she injured nineteen people which were sent to the hospital along with ten other people, too,” Aoi said, “Didn't one lose an eye from getting hit with Shizuru's bat?”
“That's what I heard, but I'm not sure.”
“Gross,” Mai said as Mikoto kept eating her food happily as Natsuki had a gross look on her face from hearing this.
“So, are you still gonna go, Natsuki? You know? To that place?” Mikoto asked who was still eating her food.
“Yeah. I don't have a choice first off. And second, I want to to get to know Shizuru a lot more. She seems.......interesting,” Natsuki said.
“Interesting? She's insane!” Mai said as Natsuki left the table when the bell rang for class.

In the Fuka Asylum, Shizuru was happily humming from seeing Natsuki again and her being her 'caretaker' for the next six months.
That same night, when Haruka was walking by Shizuru's cell with two therapist walking beside the blonde, the purple eyed teen could heard Shizuru still happily humming and drawing on the walls with paint. Before she was going back to her cell, Haruka walked up to Shizuru's cell and poked her head in to see what the red-eyed unstable woman was doing.
So Haruka asked.
And Shizuru said, “Painting.”
“I can see that. But on the walls? Isn't Reito gonna get mad at you for doing that?”
Shizuru shrugged. “I don't care if Reito gets angry with me or not. I'm in a good mood today.”
“So, I've heard. Ever since that Kuga chick left, you've been acting like, well, this! What has she done to you?”
Shizuru lightly giggled at Haruka's concern towards her. “My Natsuki hasn't done anything to me. I'm just........happy.”
“Happy?”
“Yes. Happy to that I'll be able to see my Natsuki for the next few months to help me get by these dreadful days here in the asylum.”
“Hey, I've been keeping you company with me talking and all when we both shared the came cell before you asked if you could move to a single cell room after beating the living daylights out of Shiho.”
“Hai (yes), Haruka. You did keep me company with you talking when I was completely bored and I am grateful to you for that. I guess it's just because..........”
Haruka leaned her head against the bars of Shizuru's cell with a smile on her face. “I get it. You don't have to say anything to me. I can tell just by looking into those creepy, yet angelic eyes of yours.” The blonde said before the two therapists were reminding her that it was time for her to go to her therapy session. “Well, I guess I should go to my therapy session today since I'm already ten minutes late from talking to you, Fujino.”
Shizuru gently smiled. “Yes. I guess you should. You wouldn't want to be lectured again like you were last time.”
“Yeah, yeah. See ya later, Fujino.” Haruka walked with her hands behind her head away from Shizuru's cell as the crimson eyed girl looked at the drawings she created in the corner of her wall.
----------------------------------Saturday---------------------------------
Natsuki came back to the asylum with a surprisingly content excited look on her face. She didn't know why but, she couldn't stop thinking about Shizuru all this week. She told guards who she is and let the girl pass. Walking through the eerie hallway from hearing people randomly yell out something that creeped Natsuki out, she made it to Shizuru's cell. She opened the slide eye whole who saw Shizuru lying on the floor with a smile on her face lightly muttering to herself about cartoon shows she has seen along with other things Natsuki couldn't hear.
“Uh, Shizuru?”
“Ara?” Shizuru lifted her head from her trance that was interrupted and saw Natsuki at her cell door. “My Natsuki is here! My Natsuki is here!!” She said childishly as Natsuki felt her face turn red with embarrassment again who opened the door and walked into the cell.
The first thing that caught Natsuki's eye were the drawings in the corner. She couldn't make what the paintings are as Natsuki as she saw Shizuru with a calm look on her face today compared to yesterday.
It looked like the crimson eye teen wasn't really smiling.
“I see you're happy to see me today, Shizuru,” Natsuki said sitting in a chair.
“Yes! I was worried Natsuki wouldn't show up and I would be all alone in a place like this without Haruka talking to me,” Shizuru said in a child like voice.
“I see. I think.”
“So, what does Natsuki want me to do today?”
“.......Truthfully, I don't know. The principal didn't say what I had to do on here but make sure you don't get in trouble because of your high rank of getting in trouble with other cellmates,” Natsuki said scratching the back of her head watching Shizuru lay on her back once again fiddling with her fingers.
“Do you want to go and see if Haruka's out of her Therapy session? She may have a few bad manners, but she's really nice once you get to know her like I did when I was moved to this asylum,” Shizuru said not taking her eyes off the ceiling.
“Sure since I can't leave here for about another four hours or so.”
