The First Day of a New Life pt1
"Speech" Normal dialogue
Speech Thoughts
"Speech" Dialogue in a different language (i.e. Japanese)
Yoshimori was now laying in the bed of the boy named Tomas while he was talking with his mom, though he was not asleep he was trying to study how the room looked in the dark and what was going to happen to him. He notices that the room wasn't highly decorated or painted, and he wonder why. Most of this place is under decorated and that outfit that Ms. Hannah looked a little weird, also I wonder what that blue bolt was and that glowing device on her arm. Yoshimori thought as he felt his eyes started to droop. "I guess I can ask her to…morrow." He said to himself with a yawn, as he laid his head back down on the pillow and went into a deep dreamless sleep.
On the outside of the room Hannah was sitting on a couch, and was conversing with her own 10-year son Tomas Shepard, if you were to look at him you could tell that he got most of his looks from his mother, while two things he got from his father as his mother put it, his cocky grin and his jet black hair color. Right now he was sitting with his mom and their conversation was obviously about Yoshimori.
"So mom where did you find him?" He asked curiously.
"I found him injured on the Citadel." She replied grimly and succeeding to keep her anger out of her voice.
"I-injured, what happen to him?!" He nearly shouted but he kept his voice down because of Yoshimori.
"He was being attacked by three Vorchas." She replied while looking at the door to Tomas's room, where Yoshimori was sleeping.
Hearing this sent a shiver up Tomas's spine, he already heard about how violent Vorchas can be but to attack a kid who at least a year younger than him made cringe on the inside. However he remembered his mom telling him that not all aliens were bad or evil, to him it depended on their nature of their being, and he hoped that Yoshimori saw that, but he knew it might take a while to see that.
"All we can do now is wait and see if he feels like talking, now it's time for bed." Hannah said, standing up and started to walk to her room.
"Ok…" Tomas mumbled as his eyes widen for a sudden realization.
Yoshimori was in his room, and in the medium-sized area of where they lived on the ship, it was the only other bed.
"Hey where am I going to sleep?" He asked his mother, before she entered her room.
"With me, in my room." She said without turning around and opened the door.
He was about to protest to this and suggest that he sleep on the couch, but he remembered how rough and uncomfortable it was on his young back remembering the last time he took a nap on it. So he, reluctantly, walked into his mom's room and laid down on the right side of the bed and slowly fell asleep. I wonder why Tomas looked upset to sleep in my bed; he did it until he turned 7. Hannah thought curiously and with a little bit of humor as she got into the bed on the left side, as she made plans to deal with Yoshimori she slowly fell asleep but not before feeling her son drape an arm around her stomach which brought a small, but happy smile to her face that night.
The next day
Hannah was the first awaken in the room, she looked over to the hologram form of a clock, it said 6:59. Time for me to get up now Hannah thought, as she moved out of her sleeping son's embrace and quietly moved into the main room. Being that it was a dreadnaught class ship they got a little more room, however there was no kitchen in the room, meaning she would have to run down to the mess hall to get the food for them. First she took a quick shower and bushed her teeth, and before she left she left a translator piece for Tomas, now with a fresh uniform she steps out of their little area and heads to the mess hall.
As she walked to the mess hall her thoughts had shifted back to Yoshimori. I wonder where he from, he doesn't look like a colony kid and from his surprise of being on the ship could mean he's Earthborn but… she stop in the middle of the hallway, lost in thought. "I have to ask him where he's from, but is he going to…" She said to herself aloud.
"Who's going to do what?" She heard behind her, scaring her a bit and causing her to jump.
She whirled around, ready the hit the creeper, only to see the smug grin one of her best friends, Gregory Wilkinson, he was dressed in his standard medical uniform, and he had a pair of thin-squared glasses, his usually combed back dusty brown hair, with a peppering of grey was a bit of a mess in the morning.
"How many times are going to do that to me?" She nearly shouted out of exasperation of this same prank he always played on her since they were kids.
"Until it stops being funny." Greg snickered, knowing it won't stop being funny to him.
He would've continued laughing until he saw Hannah's patented death glare, which got him to stop laughing and held up his hands in a surrendering pose.
"Ok I'm sorry" he replied with a sigh at the end.
As Hannah's glare had been put away a moment of awkward silence passed between the two friends before Gregory decided to break the silence and the tension.
"So…are you still going to the mess hall?" He asked, breaking the proverbial ice.
She nodded her head saying yes
"So am I, well lets go before the good stuff's taken." He said, and started walking towards the mess hall with Hannah.
As they neared their destination their conversation drifted towards their newest resident.
"So how's Yoshimori feeling?" He asked.
"He's doing Ok" She said unsure.
"He hasn't had any more feelings of pain or discomfort?" He asked.
"No I didn't hear any sounds of pain coming from Tomas's room." She replied.
"That's good, but just in case I want to do a check-up to make sure nothing else is wrong." He stated.
"All right, I'll bring him to your office after breakfast." She said as they reached the door leading into the mess hall.
The mess hall was nearly twice the size of a normal cafeteria, mostly due to the fact it's a dreadnought ship. Gregory and Hannah took the small round table nearest to the kitchen, Hannah notice that some of the other members of the crew had the same idea of coming early to get breakfast before the good portions were gone. When they sat down they were greeted by the mess sergeant, and one of Hannah's closest friends on the ship Gustav 'Gus' Irinko, he was wearing a standard uniform but the front was covered by an apron and his thinning blonde hair in a hairnet.
"Hey Gus." Hannah and Gregory said.
"Hey Hannah, Gregory." Gus responded with an accent that was from the Slavic countries on Earth.
"Looks like we weren't the only ones to come early." Hannah commented on the people coming into the cafeteria, and the people that were already there.
"Yep we just finished the first batch of the food, so Hannah you want the usual for you and Tomas? Gus asked.
"Actually could you fix a third plate we have a guest in our flat, and no it's not that kind of guest." Hannah said while noticing the forming smirk on Gus's face, because of her choice of words.
"Alright I Gotcha and I know what you just want coffee Greg." Gus said while walking towards the kitchen.
Hannah and Gregory made small talks about whatever they could while they waited for 3 minutes to see Gus return with Hannah's tray carrying the three plates of food and Greg's coffee; they said a quick goodbye to Gus before walking out of the mess hall. With their items in hand they walked back toward their respected destinations. Gregory went in a separate hallway back to his office, while Hannah continues on to her quarters. I wonder are those two boys up or do I have to wake them? She though as walked, hopping they were up, back to her area.
Meanwhile
Tomas was realizing that something was missing from where he was sleeping. He cracked open his eyes open slightly to see why; his mom was out of bed, when he saw the hologram form of a clock read 7:49 he realized why. She must have gotten us breakfast for us. Tomas thought, he was about to go back to sleep and wait for his mom to come back but then he thought about Yoshimori. I think mom would want me to wake him up. He considered, he debated about whether he get up or stay asleep, after two minute of mental debating he decided to get up and get Yoshimori up. He stepped out of his mother's room and approached his room and pressing the hologram display on his door to open, when the door slide up he saw Yoshimori still sleeping. As he approached him he noticed that Yoshimori's body was tense and his breathing was quick and short breaths and his face had a frighten look. He must be having a nightmare. Tomas quickly thought.
"Yoshimori, Yoshimori wake up." Tomas said using the translator left by his mother while lightly shaking him
No response.
"Yoshimori, wake up." He said a little louder.
He heard mumble something in Japanese, it sounded like a name and turn onto his right side.
Tomas sighed as he went close to his head and cupped his hands around his ear, he took a deep breath.
"YOSHIMORI WAKE UP!" He yelled into his right ear.
When hearing Tomas yell in his ear Yoshimori had jumped into a sitting position so quickly a person would think he was about to fly out the bed, Yoshimori looked around the room wiled-eyed, until he saw Tomas standing at the side looking at him.
"Were you having a nightmare Yoshimori?" Tomas asked as Yoshimori eyes focused on him
Yoshimori shook his head as a gesture of saying no, Tomas looked to see if he was lying but found no trace of a lie, but he knew it wasn't true, but he wasn't going to call him on that.
"Well" Tomas said with a sigh "Mom's getting breakfast for us from the mess hall, and she'll be back in a few minutes so I suggest getting cleaned up, do you want to go first?" Tomas asked.
Yoshimori nodded signifying yes as he was getting out of the bed, he was about head for the bathroom but he didn't know where it was. He was going to make a gesture to ask where it was but Tomas could already tell.
"The bathroom is the second door to the front of the room, right there." Tomas said pointing towards the front end of the area; Yoshimori looked towards where Tomas was pointing at and saw another door bulging out a few feet than what Yoshimori was the entrance to the area, he also noticed a medium-size circular table in the middle of the area with three chairs.
"I'll let you get clean first…do you know how to use the shower?" Tomas asked out of curiosity.
The look on Yoshimori face said that he was unsure.
"Ok I'll show you how it works this one time," Tomas said as he guided Yoshimori to the bathroom.
Yoshimori looked around and saw that the walls of the bathroom were the same color as the main room, except they seemed a little brighter. Then he noticed the fixtures in the room the sink looked like it was automated and the toilet, though metallic looking, looked normal. But the shower was a different thing, he could see that the top half was a showerhead but the rest he didn't recognized mostly because there was nothing he could see to turn on the shower, in short he didn't know what to do.
"You're confused?" Tomas asked, looking over towards Yoshimori.
Tomas got his answer when he saw Yoshimori, face red with embarrassment, nodded shyly.
"All right…watch me now." Tomas said, stepping close to the shower.
Tomas stepped underneath the showerhead and pressed his finger against a glowing spot in the center, and from that spot, a hologram display appeared with three spots. Well it's another thing I have to get used to. Yoshimori thought, feeling out place and stop listening to Tomas.
"… Are you listening to me right now!?" Tomas asked with a little too much force.
The voice of Tomas shook Yoshimori out of his thoughts and the force in his voice caused him to cringe out of fear of doing something wrong, he look down towards the ground to avoid looking at Tomas. He started muttering apologies in Japanese while trying not to cry, but this stopped when he when he felt a comforting hand on his shoulder. He looked up to see to see Tomas was giving him an apologetic smile.
"I'm sorry Yoshimori I wasn't trying to be mean, I was trying to see if you were watching ok?" Tomas said saw a smile on Yoshimori's face as a sign that everything was ok.
"Alright I'll show you one more time, now watch." Tomas said as he stepped back over to the shower, and saw that Yoshimori was watching "The display on the left control the hot water, the right one controls the cold water, and the hologram starts the shower, you got all that Yoshimori?" Tomas finished explained and pressed his lips together so he wouldn't laugh at Yoshimori's face, which had a look on it that said 'I'm an idiot.'
I…IT'S THAT'S SIMPLE!? Yoshimori mentally screamed and felt if a person were to look up the meaning of the word dunce in the dictionary you would see his picture by the meaning while wearing the trademark cap for it. He saw Tomas trying to hold back his laughter, he shot him a glair hoping it would stop Tomas's laughing, unfortunately it cause Tomas bust out laughing, Yoshimori's glare faltered from this and his gaze quickly fell to the floor from embarrassment and he waited for Tomas to stop laughing.
"I… I'm sorry Yoshimori, it was just that look on your face and I couldn't hold it in." Tomas said as his laughter died down.
"Well I'll let get clean up." Tomas said, but before he stepped out the bathroom he opened up a cabinet door by the side of the shower fixture.
"There's a bar of soap and shampoo for you to use, and there's a spare toothbrush in there too." Tomas said as he was leaving the bathroom, but stopped at the room remembering one other thing, "Oh, another thing, I'm find some of my extra clothes for you to wear, 'cause what you have on is ready to be trashed." Thomas stated.
Yoshimori was about to comment on that statement but he looked down and saw the state of his Kekkaishi uniform, and saw the bottom half of it was caked with dirt from when he fought the bull ayakashi, and as he looked at his right side and saw a huge stain on the shoulder, and he could tell it was his blood from getting attacked by that creature. So he knew he needed some new clothes, but he had a feeling that from the size of Tomas they wouldn't fit right but it would be better than nothing.
"I see your point, I'll leave my 'outfit' by the door, and you can leave the spare clothes by there also." Yoshimori stated, albeit nervously.
"Ok then, just don't take too long." Tomas said and then left the bathroom, leaving Yoshimori alone.
Wasting no time Yoshimori disrobed and, after putting his uniform by the door while he also took ten thin paper strips out of his uniforms pocket and placed them in the cabinet. He then stepped up to the shower fixture. He set the temperature to a setting that was comfortable and started the shower. Well…this does takes out some of the work, he thought as he felt the water melt away most of the stress he was feeling about the entire situation. But as he was cleaning himself he thought about what could happen to him, what happens to me now, is Shepard-Sama willing to keep me around or will she give me up to a stranger… I hope not, she seems like a good person and Tomas is kind of cool. He thought happily with a calming effect as he finishes his shower and dried off.
Meanwhile outside the bathroom Tomas was gathering a random assortment of his old clothes for Yoshimori to wear, after a few seconds of searching he had found a good outfit for him. Tomas went back to bathroom in time to hear the water stop, he opened the door to place the clothes as Yoshimori was drying off, When Tomas sat the spare clothes down and picked up his Kekkaishi uniform he looked up and his eyes widened when he saw Yoshimori's back scars, and was speechless at the sight of them. As Yoshimori started to turn around Tomas ducked out of the bathroom before he would notice him, when the door closed behind his thoughts of what he saw came rushing back to him and the his thoughts were moved by, shocked and confusion.
H…he's not even a year younger than me, but those scars make it seem as if he's been fighting all his life, or has he been abused or even worse, where the hell did he come from? Thomas wonders at this discovery. He was wanted to know who or what could inflict those scars on someone so young. However before he could dwell in his thoughts he heard the hiss of the door opening and saw his mother walk in with their breakfast, as she sat the food down on the table she looked over to see Tomas sitting near the door of the bathroom.
"Tomas, why are you sitting near the bathroom?" Hannah asked with a curiously raised eyebrow.
"Did the Vorchas cause those scars on Yoshimori?" Tomas asked, ignoring his mother's initial question.
Hannah froze for a quick minute contemplated on what to tell him. A part of her wanted to say it was the Vorchas, but she knew her son wouldn't believe that lie, so she had to tell him the simple truth.
"I don't know how he got them; they were already on him when I brought him on the ship." Hannah told her son.
"He didn't tell you how he got them?" Tomas asked in disbelief.
"No, when Gregory asked him about his scars he refused to talk about them." Hannah said remembering how quickly he looked away from them when he asked. Tomas would've pried for more information but he felt himself falling backwards, the reason being that the bathroom door had opened, and he fell onto his back. He looked up and saw Yoshimori standing over him and was in the clothes he left for him, which were a baggy white T-shirt and a tight pair of beige shorts.
"Um… did you need to use the bathroom that badly?" Yoshimori said Tomas, with a shaky smirk and a tone that suggested that he was joking and was hoping it worked.
Tomas quickly rolled onto his stomach and stood up and, seeing the humor of Yoshimori's sentence was a good sign to him.
"Well I just needed to brush my teeth so I can eat andIdon'tneedtotakeashower." Tomas said with a grin and tried to rush past him, but before he could make it.
"Freeze" Hannah said and saw Tomas stop in mid-step.
Tomas turned around very slowly to meet the stern gaze of his mother, he was trying to keep up his grin, but it slowly faltered.
"Whaaaaat?" Tomas said defensibly, though with a whining tone of voice.
"You'll take your shower and brush your teeth, the food isn't going anywhere." Hannah told her son with a stern voice.
"But my food is gonna be cold by the time I'm finished!" Tomas complained.
"You already know that the tray cover retains the heat and the food's not going anywhere, now go take your shower." Hannah said, in a tone of voice that said that they been through this before.
"Fine". Tomas said with a pout, "Let me grab some clothes to change into, oh before I forget, here's your translator Yoshimori I grabbed it while getting your clothes." Tomas said as he left the main room for his room to find some spare clothes and placed the translator into Yoshimori's right hand.
Hannah watched Yoshimori put his translator piece on, with that being done they had bout of awkward silence that lasted so long that they didn't notice Tomas watched them and quickly slipped past them and head inside the bathroom. The silence didn't end until a rumbling sound was heard; a blush of embarrassment appeared on Yoshimori face signified that it came from him.
"You're really hungry aren't you?" Hannah with an amused smile, Yoshimori nodded shyly.
"You can grab a plate to eat, Tomas won't mind." Hannah said to Yoshimori.
Yoshimori went toward the tray and looked at it with a bit of nervousness. He lifted the cover and saw three equal plates of scrambled eggs, French toast, sausage, and bacon. Yoshimori let out a quiet sigh and grabbed a plate, wondering how it would taste, since he was only used to the traditional Japanese breakfast. He took a small bite, and he knew he was hooked. He ate the food slowly, as he did not want to seem rude by eating too quickly.
"I know you're hungrier than that, you don't have to restrain yourself." Hannah said while grabbing the last two plates and arranges them on the table.
With that being said Yoshimori dove in to his food so quickly that his hands were almost a blur. Hannah watched as he ate and was worried that he could choke, because of the rate he was eating it was possible. He had stop when he heard the bathroom door opened and Tomas stepped out, he changed out of his pajamas and had changed into a dark blue shirt and a pair of black cargo shorts, Hannah could tell he took his shower because his hair was still a bit damp. Both, Tomas and Hannah were amused by the face Yoshimori had, his cheeks were puffed up with food.
"Mom usually tells to me to slow down, so what's your excuse?" Tomas commented with a raised eyebrow, and watched Yoshimori swallow and glare at him.
"Well… excuse me for being starved." Yoshimori said trying to defend his actions.
"All right that's enough Tomas, besides I told him it was ok now sit and eat your breakfast." Hannah scolded Tomas, ending the ensuing argument.
She then sat in the seat closest to the front door of the area and Tomas sat near their bedrooms. The three ate in silence; no one couldn't start up a conversation. Yoshimori finished first then followed by Tomas, while the two were waiting for Hannah to finish Tomas decided to break the ice between him and Yoshimori.
"So… do you have a last name Yoshimori?" Tomas ask trying to get to break the mysterious vibe around him.
This question caused Yoshimori to jump slightly; he wasn't expecting that question so soon. What can I say!? Yoshimori panicked he knew if he didn't answer soon they would get suspicious. He didn't know that Hannah also wanted to know about this, but she must have misinterpreted his look of concentration because what said gave him a cover story.
"Can you remember it Yoshimori?" She asked unknowingly giving him a cover story.
"Uh…N…no I can't." Yoshimori said trying to so as sincere as possible.
He looked and saw that Hannah believes him but Tomas still looked skeptical about the whole thing but he didn't show it on his face, he mentally thanked his mother showing him how to do this. However he didn't let up on the questions.
"Well what about any family or where you're from or…" Tomas continued
"Tomas, that's enough, just let it go for now!" Hannah told Tomas so that he would stop his form of interrogation.
Seeing that he couldn't question him now Tomas decided to change gears with his questions.
"So what are we going to do today mom?" Tomas asked hoping to get back on his moms good side.
"Well it's the last day that we'll be here so I'm planning to get some new clothes for us and any other supplies that we don't have on the ship." Hannah told him; to Tomas this was normal but Yoshimori looked a little disturbed.
"You…mean we have to go b…back out there?" Yoshimori asked in nervousness and a bit of fear.
Hannah noticed the tremble of his voice; she was worried he would freak out a little bit, that always happens to victims of attacks and she had a feeling the C-Sec wouldn't even know about the attack. I don't know if he's ready to go back out there, maybe I should ask Gregory to watch him. She mused in her head but then she saw her son stand and looked Yoshimori in the eye.
"Don't worry Yoshimori, if anyone tries to bother you I'll deal with them!" Tomas proclaimed, with his cocky grin and puffed out chest.
"You say that, but didn't you get scared when you saw your own shadow once?" Hannah said while tussling his hair.
"Mom!" He whined out of pure embarrassment of hearing that story again.
Yoshimori just laughed at the scene in front of him, he could tell that these two have a strong bond as mother and son. But as he watching them he thinks about his own mom. I wonder if she would be like this if she was home, is she at home now that I'm gone… does she miss me, if she does is it because I'm the legitimate heir? Yoshimori thought in gloom about his mom, while clenching his hand with was marked with the houin mark.
"…shimori… Yoshimori… YOSHIMORI!" Tomas and Hannah called out to him.
"Huh?" He said, after he was brought out of his thoughts by the two.
"You dozed off for a little bit, are you alright?" Hannah asked
"Yeah, I was just thinking about…" He trailed off, filling Hannah and Tomas with curiosity. "Never mind it's…not important, so Hannah-Sama when are going…back outside." Yoshimori said trying to change the subject, but was still nervous.
"We're leaving after we see Gregory, he wanted to give you one more check-up after last night, then we'll head back down to the Citadel." She said telling him what was going to happen today, but not forgetting what he said before that.
After finishing her breakfast she gather the plates on the tray and placed it in a slot near the front door, then a whooshing sound signified the pneumatic system of taking it back down to the mess hall. After that Tomas found a pair of socks and old shoes to give to Yoshimori to wear for the time being, though they were tight to him it would do. As they walked through the halls of the ship Yoshimori saw more of the crew onboard started to notice him and were whispering about him, since his translator on he could understand him he heard things such as "Who's that kid… I heard that Hannah found him… He was hurt pretty badly…He was attack by vorchas … Poor kid…" Yoshimori was feeling so self conscious and overwhelmed that he didn't see Tomas stop in front of him, which caused him to walk right into the back of him and stumble a few inches from Tomas, he looked up to see Tomas looking at him. Tomas was about to make another joke at his expense, not a mean joke, but something to break the tension but he saw the look of nervousness, mixed with self-consciousness, on his face.
"Something wrong Yoshimori?" Tomas asked with concern.
"They're all talking about me." Yoshimori replied with nervousness, as he felt passerby's eyes on him.
"Well…I guess it would be expected, I mean it's not every day a kid gets bought onto a military ship." Tomas said nonchalantly, but then noticed Yoshimori's face change from nervousness to shocked "…What, what's wrong Yoshimori?" Tomas asked worriedly.
"W…were on what kind of s…ship?" Yoshimori asked while shaking out of fear and anxiety.
"A military ship…you didn't know that?" Tomas asked awkwardly, Yoshimori shook his head, furiously, saying no.
"Hey you two, what's the hold-up?" Hannah asked after seeing the two boys lagged behind her.
"Yoshimori didn't know he was on a military ship mom" Tomas said very nonchalantly, but noticed the look on Hannah's face and he was worried that he said something wrong. "W…what did I say something wrong?" Tomas asked, almost ready to cry.
"No, you didn't say anything wrong." Hannah said to Tomas while sighing and shaking her head. "Tomas, can you go and tell Gregory that we're coming, I want to talk to Yoshimori for a minute." Hannah asked.
Tomas nodded and ran past Hannah and turn down the corner on the right side, heading to the infirmary. Now, Hannah and Yoshimori are alone in the hallway, Hannah saw that Yoshimori was still a little shocked by what Tomas said earlier. "I should've warned Tomas about telling you that, though you would probably freaked out if I told you." Hannah said to Yoshimori.
"Y…yeah, I guess I wasn't expecting to be bought onto a military ship… so your part of the military?" Yoshimori ask with nervousness, though his voice was calm.
"… Yes, do you see this symbol?" Hannah asked Yoshimori, pointing to a marking on the white part of her uniform's arm sleeve.
"Yes." Yoshimori said, noticing the symbol that looks like an 'A' in the English alphabet with a globe in the middle of it, and three stars arranged in a triangle underneath it.
"This symbol represents the Systems Alliance; we are the governing body and military arm of Humans that live on colonies and space stations within most of the galaxy." Hannah told Yoshimori with unmistaken pride.
Yoshimori looked up at her with awe and curiosity. That would explain how she saved me last night. Yoshimori thought, remembering that he heard a gunshot before passing out. But two thoughts had him worried, if she was a solider then why would she bring him aboard the ship, and judging by her uniform and this whole place told him that this wasn't the year that he was from.
"Yoshimori, we can't keep Tomas and Gregory waiting wait forever, and I know you don't want to wear Tomas's old clothes forever so let's get going." Hannah said and held out her hand for Yoshimori to take.
"Eh, R… right." Yoshimori said, grabbed her ring finger and pinkie from the fact that his hand was so small.
As the walk towards the medical bay Yoshimori looked up at Hannah shyly, he was contemplating if he should ask her the questions he had on his mind about her being a soldier and this entire place, I don't she would tell me something like her life that soon, so what could I ask her then…? Yoshimori wondered as they turned the corner and they were a straight short walk to the medical bay. When the two arrived at the door of the Medical Bay Hannah pressed the hologram to open the door, but she knew it would take a few moments for it to open I wonder why he keeps doing that, though I guess it's for privacy. Hannah mused, remembering that did this when the two of them were growing up on Tasaiya, though she wished the door wouldn't take so long as she watched the swirling green hologram.
"Um… Shepherd-sama?" Yoshimori quietly asked while they were waiting for the door to open.
"What is it Yoshimori?" Hannah asked, looking towards him.
"What is today's date?" Yoshimori said, looking up towards her then looking back towards the door to check if was about to open.
"It's July, 25…Friday." Hannah said with a little confusion.
"I meant the year also Shepard-sama." Yoshimori said, looking towards the door.
"You don't remember the year Yoshimori?" Hannah asked she saw Yoshimori shook his head saying no while still watching the door. "I guess that should have expected this, well the year is…"
As Hannah told Yoshimori the year the door had finally opened, Gregory and Thomas looked towards them in the pathway, while the two saw that Hannah looked ok Yoshimori looked like he got the shock of a lifetime, and it was deftly a big one.
