 67 percent. It wasn't very high, but it was a majority. A majority chance that she'd die, very soon. Derrick sighed, his eyes tearing up. "There's no way...she...for good? That's impossible...Oria, you know her! It can't happen!" He grabbed the mute's scarf, pulling her closer. "There's no way it can happen!" Oria merely nodded, looking to where Golem lay out on the hospital bed, a mask over the lower half of her face to keep her breathing. Her white hair fanned out around her upper body, bare to expose her injuries for treatment. Golem's hand twitched as Derrick took it in both of his. "Please, please be okay..." he muttered, rep

 BOOM. BOOM. BOOM. The metal cast echoes through the grimy vents the Little Sisters used to travel, until it hit the ears of a blonde teenage boy. There was only one of the Protectors that could knock that loud... "Mommy~" Derrick crawled out of the vent, letting himself fall the last bit as Theta held her hands out to catch him. She set him on her shoulder, but he jumped to the floor instead, his bare feet making a soft pattering on the cracked tiles as he led her towards an 'Angel.' "This way, Mommy~" A rumble escaped Theta's throat and she pulled Derrick back by the collar of his pink pinafore dress just before he reached the 'An

 "Gah, I'm so-! Golem? You're still eating?!" Golem looked up sheepishly, but didn't stop. "Y-yeah..." "...How? Even you don't seem big enough to hold that much..." Golem shrugged, blushing at the sudden attention. "I'm still hungry, so I'm still eating...?" Oria smiled, holding up a piece of paper. 'Your eyes aren't bigger than your stomach, I hope?' Golem shook her head. "No. So far, they can't keep up..." "...hey, I never noticed - How long has it been since you last ate?" Derrick asked, staring hard at Golem. She merely shrugged. "Can't remember....I've been sleeping a lot, though, so I'm fine....what?" Derrick was starin

 "No-Look, Golem, it goes here - see how the picture matches up?" Derrick guided her hand with his own, fitting the puzzle piece into place. Golem stared at it, frustrated. "It looks the same as all the others!" she finally snarled, turning away. "Puzzles just aren't my thing, Derrick..." "Golem, it's not that bad...Here, how about this one? Does it look like it would fit?" Golem stared at it, then looked away, frustrated. "....No." Derrick sighed, putting the piece where it belonged.

 "The sign says 'Do Not Disturb'...I think that means you, too," Barrett called across the room, watching as Derrick quietly pulled open the door to Golem's room. The blonde grinned. "Nah. She loves me, she won't care..." He walked in, rummaging through his bag. "Besides, she sleeps like a fucking rock. I won't wake her up even if...I....yell?" Derrick turned, feeling a stare burning into the back of his head. He stared right into Golem's bleary, red eyes. "M-Morning, Golem! Heheh..."
