Jin lay on an old pallet in Miwako's house, and Hanaka was trying to get him to eat. Luckily, he would eat, though the food had to be spoon-fed to him, for he would not feed himself. She carefully fed him the ramen noodles, making sure they weren't too hot before she gave them to him.

Jin sighed. "I'm los'," he muttered, his eyes still refusing to focus. At least they'd washed him up though. His hair was brushed and clean, the grime carefully scrubbed away, the cuts and wounds bandaged, and his clothes replaced by some of Runaku's. His large ears still drooped, and he still seemed a creature of utter despondency.

The fact he was still alive hung over his head like a sentence, for it meant another moment living without Touya. He no longer dared to hope anymore of finding Touya, no longer dared to hope anything.

Hanaka tried to talk to him, to distract him from whatever thoughts consumed him. "I've lived on this island all my life, but one day I plan to leave it and see the real world. I want to see adventure and beauty!" she explained, and Jin nodded docilely.

Hanaka sighed; it was impossible to talk to this poor shell of a man. "How about some music?" Jin looked up slightly, showing a meager interest. The only music he'd ever known was drinking songs and Touya's singing and shakuhachi. And so that was what he expected.

He was taken rather aback when the girl put a shiny disk in some device and noise began coming out of the device. "It's Evanescence- Fallen. Oh! How about we skip to my favorite, 'My Immortal'!" Jin said nothing, but when he heard the haunting song, and listened to the lyrics, he seemed to be slightly more interested than he'd been in anything before. He thought mournfully of Touya, listening to such lyrics.

When the song finished, he said, "That was good. I want to hear it again."

Hanaka nodded, "Ok." She said, smiling happily, glad to have found something that interested the lifeless doll man on the pallet. "I can put it on repeat if you want." Jin did not respond, lost in the song, and Hanaka sighed, setting her CD player to repeat.
