[two separate notes]

X, Harpuia:

Seems I slept in.

Are you both okay?

Question--

I was told by someone that sleeping a lot means you'll 'disappear' soon. Is that true?

If it is, then what happens when you 'disappear'? Where do you go?

[dividedby]

I've heard it's not good to sleep too long in this place.

Don't worry. He's [pen taps and small illegible scratch out?] tougher than he looks.

[maverickhunterx]

Why? What happens if you sleep too long?

Yeah, you're right. I just can't help worrying, I guess. About both of you.

[dividedby]

You 'disappear', apparently. I don't know much beyond that.

There are more important things to be concerned with right now, the sick patients being one of them. Landel being another.

[maverickhunterx]

And what good are any of us to those patients, or against Landel if we don't look out for each other? Besides, both of you are my friends.

Though, how long has this sickness been going around, anyway?

[dividedby]

There's a difference between being actively concerned and worrying too much.

Only a few days so far. I don't know if it's been spreading or if only certain people have it. At the very least, it seems that there's a cure.

[maverickhunterx]

I think that's only in the eye of the beholder.

[A few dark spots sit on the page]

A cure that isn't readily available, obviously.

[Pen taps - but no response to that. Seems Zero's given up lecturing for once.]

Not to everyone, but maybe to some.

[There's an arrow drawn that points to these series of notes.]

[maverickhunterx]

[The handwriting is messier than usual, as though X wrote it in a hurry. And it's very dark--like nearly ripping the page dark.]

That's what's making everyone sick?

[There's thick scribbling, but if Zero squints, he may be able to see these words:]

He won't get away with this.

[dividedby]

[Admittedly, it did take Zero a moment to read that last part. Not that he's surprised to see this reaction...]

He won't.

We'll make sure of it.

[maverickhunterx]

[A few pen taps. Also, the handwriting is a little neater now]

I know, Zero. I know we will.
