CHAPTER 5: Solitude
Maryl slowly opened her eyes, and squinted at the sunlight. A young woman was rushing about the room cleaning up various things. Maryl slowly sat up.
"What happened? Who are you?"
The woman stopped and looked at Maryl, a little surprised to see her awake.
"My name is Kino, and I'm here to help take care of you. Do you know what has happened?"
Maryl plopped back down.
"Yes."
She said quietly.
Kino sat in a chair beside the bed.
"You've been out for quite some time."
"How long?"
"About a month."
Maryl groaned.
"How's Milly?"
"Who?"
"She shares this room with me. My friend Milly Thompson? Tall, brown hair."
Kino became silent.
"Well?"
There was some distress in Maryl's voice.
"Oh, you poor dear. You don't know."
Maryl turned away.
"She's dead isn't she."
"Yes, oh, I'm so sorry."
Maryl sighed.
"And my other friend, Vash?"
"Would that be the blond man?"
"Yes, how is he?"
Kino looked down.
"Oh, he's alright, just an upset stomach. No serious injuries."
Maryl shook her head.
"No, I don't mean physically. He's.well.sometimes.he can be.unstable."
Kino sighed again.
"He's not to well. Blames himself for the whole thing, won't let any one near him. He's locked himself inside that room of his. Don't even eat."
Maryl swallowed.
Kino got up and started to leave the room.
"Is there anything I can do for you dear?"
"No. Um-wait. Could you check on him for me? I just-"
"I understand dear. Don't worry."
Kino left, closing the door behind her.
Vash sat on the floor in his room. The curtain shades pulled down, so no light shone through. He placed his forehead in the palms of his hands, and his fingers were intertwined within his now long blond hair. He heard a knock on the door to his room, but he did not move from his position.
"Mister Vash? Are you ok?"
Vash remained in his place.
"Please, go away."
"Mister Vash, I was asked by your girlfriend, Maryl to check on you, are you ok?"
Vash said nothing.
"Humph, fine then. You can tell her yourself for all I care."
Vash listened, as the footsteps of the woman became distant. A tear ran down his cheek.
"Maryl."
