"...You're warm." Ben said, nestling down with Haru more.

Haru's cheeks turned red. "I... feel very cold."

"Apparently not as cold as I am." Ben informed.

Reaching up, Haru placed his wrist against Ben's forehead. "You are quite warm..."

"Huh?" Ben blinked. "...My forehead?"

"I think you may be very with fever," Haru commented.

"I cannot be...I'm not acting like I'm feverish." Ben replied as he leaned against Haru.

"Fever...ish..." Haru tested the word for a moment. "Aa, I could be wrong... my own body warmth could be throwing it off..."

"Right." Ben nodded. "I'm just...really...tired."

He seemed to be fading fast all of the sudden.

"Ben?" Haru asked, sounding a little worried.

Ben slumped over and landed softly on the mattress- his eyes closed and a deep blush over his features.

Trying to remain calm, Haru reached over and pressed the 'call nurse' button.

"Hey, the servers are going down all over." Chris informed. "He's just moving from server to server looking for Uke and shutting them down...most of the players have already logged out and I've been checking the news for accidents of fatalities."

"He's not logging them out through actual log out procedures," Kris sighed, brushing their daughter's hair as she wiggled. "Haru said that he didn't see a log out screen before hitting the floor... he's going to cause something like what happened to him."

"But that doesn't seem to be his intent...he's just wandering around looking for Uke and his...his overly emotional state is causing all the digital errors." Chris concluded.

"So what, we need to send Wyatt back into there?" Kris asked, turning to look at her husband. "Is it even safe for him to be in there with... whatever they made Nick into?"
