"Hurry up and get in here before someone sees you." Ben said quickly.

Jumping up, Haru stumbled inside the room and heard Ben close the door behind him.

Ben let out a sigh and moved over to sit on the edge of the bed.

"...You met...our friend Wyatt." Ben said before looking at the- seemingly sleeping -form beside him on the bed. "...This is our good friend Nicholas."

Poking his eyes open, Haru slowly moved over to the bed. "Its a pleasure to meet you, Neikolasu. My name is Arashi Haru. Please treat me well."

He bowed lowly.

Ben rolled his eyes.

"Pardon him, he hasn't been much talkative for a while." Ben said before tapping the clipboard on the bed.

"Oh... that is how I introduce myself," Haru informed, frowning. "Maybe he can hear me, though? I should introduce myself then, right?"

"They tell us that he hears us when we talk." Ben sighed. "I like to think so."

"It differs from patient to patient," Haru informed. "But its entirely possible."

"I'm not interested in what patient to patient you're bothering with." Ben frowned. "Nicholas is my friend."

"Sorry..." Haru whispered, frowning and lowering his eyes.

"...Come up here." Ben said after a moment.

Nervously, Haru approached the other, his head still down.

Ben rolled his eyes again and reached over- pulling Haru onto the bed with him and Nick.

"Help me talk to him." Ben said.

The younger boy squeaked as they touched and went tense, nervously looking down at Nick's sleeping features. "A-ano..."

["U-Um..."]

"You introduced yourself." Ben said. "This is Nicholas...he's Wyatt's age and loves video games and soccer. He watches programs on the BBC network and speaks Spanish and French fluently. He was attending college briefly before his accident and left behind a mother and no siblings."

"Hello, Neikolasu," Haru said, shifting a little. "My name is Arashi Haru... I'm eighteen years old and I enjoy reading and playing strategy games." He tapped his lip, not sure what else to say. "I have no siblings... just mama and a papa. I come from Japan and I am here for a year as an exchange student... I am studying medicine... Ben is staring at me and its very uncomfortable."
