Chapter 6: The Sleepless and The Broken Part 9

Once Akira and I had finished up our story sharing, we both headed into the cafeteria together, and once inside, I realized that we only had a couple more minutes before nighttime started. Knowing that, I grabbed myself three more cups of coffee, and Akira grabbed herself some snacks, and we dragged ourselves back over to the cell block, balancing the three cups in my arms, and multiple plates of food in hers.

Once inside the cell block, we said our goodnights, as I rushed up to my room, and went into my cell, shocked to see Poppy in there. She was sitting on the bed, waiting for me.

“Oh, there ya are,” She spoke, sounding like a concerned parent. “That’s… a lot of coffee.”

I silently put down all three of my cups onto the desk, and realized that both of the papers were gone. I turned towards Poppy, who seemed increasingly concerned.

“Is everything ok Aka? Ya seemed really quiet and drained today… and ya don’t normally wake up to the mornin’ announcement.”
