**After the library of doom made Kaito cough his lungs out, our Kaito Team has decided to go back to the city behind the wall. Kaito's illness has gotten much worse due to his weakened immune system and sleeping outside all the time. But now, here they are. He finds himself staring up at the wall with mixed emotions of relief and dread. How in the hell are they going to sneak in?**

Decorations?

**he is a little surprised and he's not sure he gets it.**

[deteriorated]

Like flowers, [he tries to explain.] Or paintings and pictures and... maybe model figurines.

Anything you want that makes the home seem different and personalized.

[abovethewall]

People put flowers... in their house?

[deteriorated]

[He nods.] In vases filled with water. Flowers can live without the roots for a while if they're in water and sunlight.

[abovethewall]

But people here don't know about flowers really.

[deteriorated]

No, they don't. There's a lot of things they're missing.

...but maybe they're safer here.

[abovethewall]

That's why we brought Master here isn't it?

[deteriorated]

Yes, it is.

[abovethewall]

I wonder if he likes it. He was happy to leave but he seems happy now too.

[deteriorated]

[He sat down on the couch.]

He does... doesn't he? Maybe he's more comfortable here.

[abovethewall]

I dunno.

[deteriorated]

What about you? Do you like it here?

[abovethewall]

I like being with Master.

... But I am more useful to Master, when we're not inside.

[deteriorated]

[He nods in understanding, remembering the way Mekaito was looking out the window yesterday and how he protested earlier about KAITO leaving. Mekaito couldn't even pretend to be human, with the way he looked. It was a little sad.]

Maybe he'll go out later, or we can find a way to go out together. That way you don't have to stay inside all the time.

Or you can learn something inside the home. Maybe help the Master with something... like a chore.

[abovethewall]

He will go out later. We're leaving when Master gets better.

**MATTER OF FACT.**

[deteriorated]

[He doesn't say anything. That's really Kaito's decision to make.]

[abovethewall]

**But-but that was the plan wasn't it?**

[deteriorated]

[...what is with that look asldfkj. KAITO glances away.]

When he gets better... we'll see.

[abovethewall]

.... OK.
