Prussia walked across the Baltic's rooms, noticing something while going across. He checked the cracked-opened door, seeing Latvia's bare back and pratically choked in surprise. He couldn't hold his food in, so he vomited on the floor right infront of him.

Latvia had the swastika symbol marking from multiple whips to the back. It could barely be made out by now, but he saw it.

"A-Ak Dievs! A-Are you okay?"

"O-O-Oh my G-God... A-Are you?"

"Yes... But, you're the one who got sick."

"I d-did... I can take c-care of it..."

"Don't worry. G-Go... L-Lay down..." Latvia left to get a mop and a bucket to clean the mess up. Prussia tried getting up and walked into the room to lay on the bed. He noticed that their weren't any windows in the Baltic's room.

He was dizzy, to say the very least, but not tired. He looked around the room, not seeing anything in particular that stands out. He figured that Russia would come looking for him in the room sooner or later, and he would have to explain what he saw on Latvia's back.

Sure enough, Russia came in. Prussia could see Latvia cleaning his mess behind the largest nation. Russia had Lithuania with him, as well. "What happened? Did you catch something?" He asked, concerned.

Prussia shook his head. 'Crap.' He thought. 'If I were to tell him what I saw on Latvia's back, then Lithuania would hear it, too. Not good right now.'

"If not, then why did you throw up, hm?" Russia tilted his head to the side.

"Um... I..." He looked passed the Russian to see Latvia again. "Um... He... I mean... I... I saw L-Latvia's back..." He said in a whisper.

"Liet, did you hear what he just said?" Lithuania shook his head. "Me neither. Oh, you look so tired! Do you want to take a nap right now?" Lithuania shrugged and nodded slowly. "Latvia~! Can you bring and watch your brother in my room and wait for me, Пожалуйста?"*

"O-Of course!" Latvia took Lithuania by the hand, while holding the end of the leash with the other hand.

"What about his back, exactly?" Russia asked once he was sure they were in the other room.

"I saw the swastika symbol over and over. They looked like they've been marked with a whip."

"Really? I didn't see it."

"I did. That symbol is forever burned into my brain..." Prussia looked away.

"Estonia!" Russia yelled down the hall way. Quick foot steps could be heard shortly after, getting louder and louder the closer they were.

"You called for me, Russia?"

"Да~! Go to my room, tell Latvia to come in here, and watch Liet for me, kay~?"

Prussia sighed and stared at the ceiling while waiting for Latvia. He had one leg resting against the other knee while kicking the air.

"Oh, there you are~! Will you take your shirt off, Latvia~?"

Latvia complied without saying a single word.

"Show me, Gilbert."

Prussia hesitantly turnedd Latvia around and trace the welts, making the infamous symbol over and over again. Eventually he had to step back to heave dryly.

"N-No! G-Germany didn't make those! Not really..." Latvia half lied. "Other people did, from orders from... His boss at the time. While my people fought with him, I did not... I think that was what it was, anyway. I never got a straight answer."

"Oh..." Was all Prussia could manage saying before laying back down on the bed. "I'm sorry that happened..."

Latvia put his shirt back on. "You didn't know..." Latvia whispered.

"Yeah, but... I'm... He's mein bruder... Um..."

"What's wrong? Can... Can I get you something to drink...?"

"Where's Russia?"

Latvia looked behind him. "Oh... Probably with Lithuania."

"Oh... Um... Do you have any soda, or maybe some juice, that isn't ninety percent syrup?" He figured the carbonation from the soda would help his stomach, and if not, he at least doesn't have to worry about washing his throat down with water.

"I-I'll go check!" Latvia ran downstairs, leaving Prussia waiting in their room. Latvia came back with an orange-yellow colored liquid. "Is orange okay?"

"Yeah... Thanks." Prussia took the glass and chug half of it down before curling up on the bed.

Lithuania and Prussia traded sleeping spaces while Lithuania's mentally ill. Russia would hold onto Lithuania in bed, as a precaution. "What would you think about being sent to a hospital for a while?" Lithuania couldn't answer. Russia gagged the Lithuanian to prevent him from biting his tongue off.

"I found a good place to leave you in for a while. Though it wouldn't be that different from what you're going through now. Maybe they would talk to you, but they wouldn't believe you if you were to tell them that you're a nation. You could probably move around more, but they wouldn't keep their eyes off of you for even a second. I know it's not really different, except the people would be strangers."

Lithuania didn't gesture anything. He just struggled around in Russia's grasp until he was comfortable enough to fall asleep. "If you don't answer, I'll make the choice myself. I love you, Liet."
