"Have you seen Nagi-sama?"

"Ah, no sorry, I haven't... Which is odd.."

Yoki had asked around multiple people. It was already 2 months since she had been sent to Deadman Wonderland, and she was already comfortable with it. Or as comfortable as one could get. She'd won her only two matched by now, and had saved enough Cast Points to buy herself a black dress, which had white sleeves underneath.

"Well, don't you look cute. That fits you much better than those standard prison clothing." Nagi had told her, smiling the whole time. Thinking of this comment, she blushed and smiled a bit. Already she thought of Nagi her friend, and only friend in this place. Of course, there was Karako, but she didn't feel as close to her as she did to Nagi.

With the thought of Karako on her mind, she looked around the room, Scar Chains headquarters, and found the white haired female, who sat at the bar with a drink in her hand.

"Kako-san?" Yoki said upon approaching her. She was never able to pronounce Karako's name correctly, until later in the future, so Karako gave her permission to call her Kako.

"Ah, what's wrong, Yoki?" The older female said, smiling at her a bit.

"Do you know where Nagi-sama is? I can't find him..."

"Nagi? Now that you mention it... I haven't seen him around today either... Why don't you go check his room? If it's unlocked, that is."

"Okay." With that, Yoki left the room and walked down to the halls were the cells were kept, counting the numbers as she walked along them, until, she finally found his room. She knocked on the metallic door, and waited for an answer. When she got none, she knocked once more and waited. Still no answer. Yoki checked the doorknob now, and was surprised to find it unlocked. She took this now as an invitation to enter, even though it really wasn't.

"Nagi-sama?" she said, poking her head past the door frame. Again, she was surprised when the lights were off, and it wasn't anywhere near time to go to sleep. Yoki quietly walked in and shut the door behind her. It took a while, but her eyes finally adjusted to the darkness and she was able to make out a form on the bed.

"Nagi-sama? Are you sleeping?" Quietly, she walked over to the bed. Yoki climbed up, careful not to hit Nagi, and sat on the edge of it. Being closer now, she saw that Nagi wasn't wearing his coat, and his scarf was off to reveal a scar on his neck. In his arms was the brown scarf she normally saw him wearing around his waist.

"Nagi-sama." Yoki said, lightly shaking him. Almost instantly, his eyes opened up, and after a moment of confusion in his sleepy daze, turned over a bit to look at the little girl.

"Yoki?" He said in his robotic voice.

The small girl nodded. "You've slept most of the day. Is Nagi-sama sick?"

Nagi shook his head and sat up. He smiled a bit at the girl, which was almost hard to see in the darkness. "No, I feel fine. Sorry for worrying you."

After a moment of silence, Yoki said, "Is that the scar Nagi-sama got from you voice being removed?"

"Ah? Oh, yes, it is." He said, after realizing what it was he was talking about.

Carefully, Yoki moved over closer to him, and finally touched his neck, tracing the scar with her tiny hands. Nagi didn't seem to mind.

"Did it hurt?"

"No, they had to put me to sleep for it."

"Nagi-sama, are you sad?"

This caught Nagi off guard as Yoki move her hand away. The room was full of silence for a moment, before Nagi finally answered after sighing a bit. "I suppose I am. You're very observant."

"Does that scarf have anything to do with Nagi-sama's sadness?" She pointed to the brown scarf he still held onto, both of them looking down at it for a moment.

"It belonged to my wife.."

"Where is she now?"

"..Somewhere I can't reach..."

"She's dead?"

Nagi felt a bit surprised as to how she understood that, but nodded.

"When did she die?"

"A little before you showed up."

"Oh..." Yoki muttered, looking at the scarf again, then back at the scar on Nagi's neck. There was silence, before Yoki climbed off the bed and turned to face him.

"Yoki will be right back, so Nagi-sama has to stay awake." She told him.

"Oh, alright, I'll wait right here." He said, smiling a bit.

Yoki left, and didn't return for about 5 minutes. Following her was Karako, who Yoki had dragged along. "Ah, Yoki, what are we doing again?" the older female asked, very confused.

"Nagi-sama is sad, so we should help him cheer up a bit." Yoki said, her voice low only when around anyone beside Nagi.

"Yoki, I'm not sure that's how it works."

"I know, but we should try at least a little, so he knows he isn't alone."

Karako sighed and smiled, shaking her head as she did so. "You know, when you do talk, you say the craziest things."

Yoki only responded to this by laughing lightly and blushing a bit.

"Why'd we get so many sweets? I don't know how much of a sweet tooth Nagi has!"

"That's why I also got sake, Nagi-sama likes sake."

"They actually let you buy sake when you're a minor?!"

The two arrived at Nagi's door, and Yoki knocked again before opening the door and looking in. "Nagi-sama, did you fall asleep again?" The young girl said as she looked in. The light was on now, and Nagi was sitting on the now made bed, a book in hand, having started reading while waiting for the young girl to return.

"No, I'm still awake." He said, closing the book and looking over at the door.

Yoki hurried inside, Karako left with the job of closing the door and carrying the bag full of their goods. The girl climbed up onto the bed, kicking off her shoes before doing so this time, and sat against the wall, close to Nagi as she smiled widely.

"Karako, how'd you get dragged into this?" Nagi asked the other female, slight amusement in his voice.

"She can be pretty persuasive when she wants to be. She almost dragged me by my hair as well."

"A little Bluebird can't hurt a huge Game Foul." The male said, laughing a bit in amusement.

"I wouldn't hurt Kako-san." Yoki said in self defense, thinking they were being serious, until Nagi shook his head and patted the young girls head. "We know you wouldn't, Yoki. So, what do you ladies have in the bag there?"

Yoki's young face brightened up at this, and blushed a bit. "We got tons of sweets, and sake!"

"Yoki, how'd you get sake?"

"They just let me buy it."

"Why'd you buy all this for me?"

"Because Nagi-sama is sad, so Yoki wants to help Nagi-sama feel better!"

For the rest of the evening, the three stayed in Nagi's room. Yoki remembered it as being fun, and she wanted that day to go on forever, and if it did then Nagi would still be alive. He'd still be there with her.

But he wasn't anymore.
