Ludwig woke up slowly with a groan. He heard a surprised gasp from, when he found out when he opened his eyes, was a nurse. At first he thought it was a woman but then noticed the male uniform.
"Where am I?" Ludwig questioned, even though it was quite obvious, chances are he could be somewhere else.
"You are in the hospital, aru." The male nurse had said while writing something down on a piece of paper on a clipboard. "Do you remember what happened?"
Ludwig tried, but really couldn't. "Was I in an accident?"
The nurse shook his head. "This was no accident. This was a therapeutic chain of events, aru."
The hell does that mean, Ludwig thought with a sigh. He tried to sit up, but he back had hurt to much so he ended up flopping back onto the bed, which felt a bit too cold. He smelled something funny, like the scent of dead skin...on a linoleum floor.
How odd, he thought. Then he started to remember. Everything came flowing back to him, like a strong flood. "I...I jumped off of a building..." He said quietly.
"I know. The young man who found you told us everything he saw, so we know of your situation. You know, you were out cold for about two weeks, aru." The nurse seemed to be shocked that Ludwig had woken up when he did.
"...who found me?" Ludwig was confused. He had made sure that no one was around when he jumped, so what had went wrong? I don't have the faintest idea, Ludwig answered himself in his head.
"A man by the name of Gilbert...um...I don't know how to pronounce his last name...it starts with B...do you know him, aru?"
Gilbert...my brother? I haven't seen him for some years...why would he decide to do that for me... Ludwig's eyebrows furrowed in thought, causing the nurse to conclude that he did, in fact, know the man who had saved him.
"It will be a while before anyone can come in here and see you, so you'll have to hold on for that for about a week, aru. And you'll also have to wait about four days before you can eat anything here. Don't worry though, I doubt you'll feel hungry until then, aru," the nurse explained before heading out the door.
Ludwig was alone in the room. There was nothing to see or hear, no one to talk to. So he decided then to sleep. He squeezed his eyes shut, only to open them again, not feeling tired at all.
Great, he thought. I can't sleep. What do I do now?
He finally settled on looking up at the white ceiling until another nurse came in.
This is not very pleasant...it's not so conventional...it sure as hell ain't normal either, he thought, before staring up at the ceiling and clearing his mind.
(A/N: So many lines from the song in this chapter...but this has to be one of my favorite P!ATD songs, so I guess it's okay, I hope I made them fit in well. I guess this just captures the whole, you know, gist of "Camisado," right? Well, I'm gonna shut up now. Reviews. They are good for my soul. So please.)
