53 Osp Day 1- Up Stairs (1/2)

A young nurse in an line white dress, lady heels, gloves and cap arrived to check on my vitals.

I noticed her strong red shade of lipstick smeared across his lips, which reeked of sunflower oil. I chuckled as she finished taking my vitals with her thermometer.

She scowled at my chuckle and almost shoved some pills down my throat.

I swallowed the water she offered and yelped when she near pushed me off the bed and out the door. I felt a sudden gust of wind from the door slamming behind my back.

Now what. I scratched my head and glanced about the corridor I was standing in.

The only source of light was from the ceiling lamps making a central row towards the Fire Exit at one end and gunmetal door with the words 'Utility Closet' stamped onto its surface.

The weathered door behind me was at the center of the corridor. The way facing me was a flight of stairs that spiralled up the floor above.

I saw Ryoko's cousin, Ryuu, stomping his way down the stairs towards me. If he didn't open his mouth, I would have mistaken him for an all round tough guy in a suit. I sighed when I realised I couldn't hear the sound of his foot steps.

_”Stupid youth. Sound does not go into ears alone, hmm?”_ Shuso's voice from my memories resurfaced to my mind.

I closed my eyes. My ears began ringing again as I concentrated on the old monk's words and Ryuu's approaching footfalls.

Dum, dum, dum...

I felt the pattern drum on the floor, and vibrations go up my legs.

The air felt warmer where he walked and colder where he didn't. The breeze and vibrations stopped. A warmth from heavy breathing touched my cheeks. I opened my eyes to Ryuu standing before me.

He was wearing a blue tweed suit with leather patches sewn to the elbows of his jacket. It actually made him look respectable. Especially when his blond hair was completely slicked back off his face.
