A few days passed since Alfeegi's sudden burst of anger against Ruwalk. Ruwalk was lying in the hospital bed, due to the apparentloss of memory he had gotten from the shock. This was well-known throughout the castle now and everyone was trying their best to help Ruwalk regain his memories, while Alfeegi sat in his room all day. He was regretting the fact that he had yelled at him, and with such harsh words. Nobody tried to speak with Alfeegi, at least not until he had appologized.
It was midnight, like the night when Ruwalk told Alfeegi his feelings. Alfeegi cleared his throat as he stood in front of Ruwalk's hospital bed. Ruwalk was under the covers. The White Officer, with shaky legs, sat down on the chair by the bed and gulped. "Er... Ruwalk? I'm... er..." He searched for words inside his mouth, but his tongue got all tangled up and he couldn't let it out. "I know what you're trying to say." Ruwalk said quietly, almost a whisper, still under the blankets. "But I'm the one who should be sorry. I shouldn't have done what I did to you." Alfeegi gulped again and shakily pulled the covers off, in thought of appologizing while looking at him in the eyes. To his amazement, and not a good one, Ruwalk looked up at him with a confused look on his face and a book open in front of him.
"Wha... Ruwalk, what... I... You... I'm trying to... and... what?" Alfeegi mumbled to himself. Ruwalk looked frightened now. "I-I was just reading a book, honest! I wasn't doing anything bad!" He trembled as he covered himself with the blankets. The White Officer felt someone creep up to him and sighed. "Reema..." He groaned. "It's okay, Alfeegi. He will be alright. But for the time being..." The former Yellow Officer looked out from the blanket shield when he thought he had heard another voice, a young girl's, and found Reema standing behind Alfeegi. He pointed at her. "W-who are you?" He asked.
Reema blinked. "You... can see me?" She said in a bit of a sad tone. Alfeegi couldn't help but hang his mouth open. He looked back at Reema. She was just as surprised. Of course, seeing Reema means that he would die soon... but that can't be possible... can it? Alfeegi thought to himself. Ruwalk stared blankly at the two. They stared back. Ruwalk would be dying soon, and he didn't know it.
