The next day came and the sun was shining through the curtains into the room beyond. As Kai slowly opened his eyes he realized that Rei was nowhere to be seen. Listening carefully, he heard a small whimpering sound coming from outside. He got up and got dressed quickly before rushing outside to see what was going on.
When outside Kai found himself face to face with a crying and shaking Rei, who was jabbing himself with sharp sticks. Kai hurried over, ripped the stick out of Rei's unsteady hand, and started to yell.
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?! DON'T HURT YOURSELF!!! YOU CRAZY, CRAZY MANIAC!!" because Rei wasn't used to being yelled at so loudly he got scared and started to back away while he sobbed, but only lightly because he had come to the conclusion now that if you were hurting, Kai wasn't the one to help. When Kai saw this reaction his face dropped and he dropped to his knees and reached towards Rei to pull him in for a well-needed hug.

It's alright, I hate needles to.. well getting them… anyway, today let's just hope it's not a repeat of last time. Now, Rei just follow me.." Rei nodded hesitantly about to follow her up that same little hallway but stopped and turned to look questioningly at Kai. Kai nodded and started walking to. "I'm coming.." he mumbled. Surprisingly, Rei didn't squirm as much with Kai there. He was somehow soothed by knowing he was there. Right there. Tayca got the blood that she was supposed to take and Kai saw the glint in her eyes as she looked at Rei.
Rei was getting a band-aid on his arm where the needle had been and a bravery award that only the really little kids are supposed to get while Tayca cleaned up and Kai went to the front desk to pay. While Kai was out of the room Tayca said to Rei, -
