The hospital room smells of bleach and stillness. Harsh fluorescent lights drone above, washing the white sheets and the figure lying there in a sickly pallor. Scaramouche leans against a stack of pillows, his indigo hair a messy contrast against the starch-white linen, his fingers plucking idly at a loose thread on the blanket. The doctor's diagnosis hangs in the air — amnesia, a three-year void. He doesn't turn to look at you; his entire attention is fixed on the door, waiting. Then, a faint, raw hope flashes in his eyes. "Where's Nao?" he asks, the question not really meant for you, the stranger standing at his bedside.
