It had only been a day since the deaths of two of his peers.
A day... it already felt like it’d been so much longer. Maybe because he hadn’t been able to sleep, seeing the bodies as though burned into his eyelids every time he tried to close them. At the point he’d finally decided it best to give up on sleep, he’d moved out to the patio attached to his room, letting the soft breeze from the ocean ease his mind even just a little bit.
His mind wouldn’t stop churning; to the point where he saw the sun rising before he knew it. Ah--he should maybe try to go have something to eat now, at least. Whether or not he’d be able to just yet, he wasn’t sure, but it’s best to try. No letting himself go, now.
It was early enough, as he made his way to the dining room, that he’d assumed no one else would be there. And at first, there wasn’t, allowing him to simply find something to eat with relative peace. But he comes out of the kitchen, intending on simply heading back to his room, only to come face to face with someone else. Oh. This man was one of their teachers, was’nt he?
“...Fufufu. I would have thought it too early for anyone else to have stirred,” Wataru offers a smile, allowing his usual self to shine through enough that maybe he wouldn’t be questioned. “We are the first ones to rise, so we have the kitchen’s entirety at our hands, yes? Please, you too should eat to your heart’s content... ☆”
Nevermind the fact that he technically hadn’t ‘risen,’ nor was he even eating to his own heart’s content.
