Blaze nodded a little like that's exactly what she had expected. "He's strong," she noted as she slowly slipped her hand out of his.

The doctor smiled a little as he nodded, "He's pulling through so far. I'm glad to hear we will be back at James's in a matter of days if everything goes according to plan. The travel will be rough on him, but then he'll have the stability he needs."

Blaze nodded.

Hours passed and still the conversation over the loudspeakers went on and on. However, one thing had changed, James's voice had disappeared from the conversation about an hour into it. The rest of the voices remained the same.

The doctors were hard at work starting to prep Kale for the transfer.

Frei stirred in Raven's arms as the movie ended, looking up at him. It wasn't clear what she thought but she seemed... content, if not pleased.

Blaze went back to reading.

--

Raven glanced down at Frei. "How are you feeling?" he asked.

Frei nodded a little before a small yawn escaped her lips.

Raven nodded back. "Time for a nap?" he asked.

Frei thought about it for a moment then nodded again, moving to get up.

Raven didn't let her as he picked her up and started heading for her room.

Frei blinked and stared at Raven's face the entire way, confused.

--

And suddenly the voices stopped; a slow, spin-chilling scream growing steadily in volume until Kalma's voice could be heard and the intercom clicked off.

Raven didn't let it bother him as he tucked her in bed.

--

That got Blaze's attention. She glanced at Kale before putting the tablet down and quickly going to see what the problem was. Yue wasn't far behind.

There was a rather large commotion in the hallway. In the middle of it all was Kalma and James. James was half-hiding behind Kalma, eyes looking rather terrified as he looked over the crowd. One look at his eyes was to enough to tell that he didn't recognize anything. He was talking quietly to himself, too quietly to be overheard, and occasionally his head would twitch to the right as if something from that direction irritated him.

Kalma was trying to get through the crowd, telling... no more like warning everyone to stay back.

--

Frei's eyes still hadn't left Raven's and after he tucked her in, her eyes narrowed slightly. "You're a lot like Ryu." she decided quietly.

Blaze slowed down, a little disappointed. But Yue tried to get a better look.

--

Raven chuckled. "No I'm not," he argued and bent down, kissing Frei's forehead. "I'm more fun," he whispered with a smile before standing up.

Suddenly a man got too close and the fear in James's eyes turned to panic. Instincts seemed to kick in and in a flash, the man was on the ground with James raving on top of him. It was the voice Yue might have heard before, the voice that changed tone and pitch nearly ever syllable, the voice that was unsettling to listen too. He wasn't even making sense, ranting nonsensical words as he kept the man pinned.

Kalma let out a heavy sigh and glared at the bystanders as if telling them 'I told you so.'

--

Frei shrugged a little, "Ryu used to be fun too." she replied before yawning again, "You're like... the young Ryuji. Though..." she seemed to ponder something for a moment, "he was more girly." she decided with a slow nod.

"James!" Yue called as she got closer, but not too close just yet.

--

Raven chuckled a little. "Get some rest," he told Frei as he started to walk out.

Kalma flashed Yue a warning look. James didn't react to his name, just the shout. His eyes found hers and slowly he frowned, still talking to himself. A deep confusion slowly grew in his eyes but along with it came more shaking. There was no light behind his eyes, he didn't recognize her either, but something kept his eyes on her. He looked terrified once more until a shrill call echoed throughout the hall. A few of the bystanders winced, covering their ears. But James instantly looked at Kalma and when she motioned to him, he got off the man who hurriedly crawled away. Kalma went over to him and took his arm, James's eyes didn't leave hers as she brought him to his feet.

--

"He wore a dress once." Frei suddenly stated as Raven started to leave, a bit of amusement seeping into her voice.
