"This is getting more frustrating," Ten said, stepping away from the room door. Hiro felt him walking away, he was puzzled because he couldn't see anything.

"Wait!" Hiro said, leaving the door edge he held, but he fell hard.

Ten turns seeing him.

"Really!" Ten said, sighing.

"Dammit," Hiro cursed, his fist tighten, his body trembling. 'I really can't see'. He thought with clenched teeth, he still found it hard to believe and he felt helpless.

"Hiro?!" a voice came in, Hiro's head jolted up at the sound of it, it was familiar.

Imamura Kaname steps forward, he has curly dark yellow hair and bright black eyes. Ten stared at him adjusting his glasses.

"Who are you?!"

Kaname's eyes drift to the fat boy.

"Kaname. Imamura Kaname".

"I'm Saito Ten".

"Ten?!" Kaname was puzzled at his weird name.

"You know, grumpy here?!" Ten asked, raising his eyebrow.

"Who are you calling grumpy!" Hiro hissed at him and was pissed.

"Yeah I know him, we attend the same school and homeroom".

Hiro stiffens once again at the voice.

"Kaname?!" Hiro asked to be sure.

"Yeah dude it's me, you don't look so good," Kaname said walking towards Hiro. He squats in front of him.

"Shinzo, did you see Shinzo?" Hiro asked with hope.

Kaname looks sad.

"No, I haven't".

Hiro froze.

"No way," Hiro said in a muffled sound.

"What happened to your eyes?!" Kaname asked with shaky eyes. Hiro faced away.

"He's blind," Ten said, folding his arms.

"Was it the explosion that caused it?!" Kaname asked.

"I don't know," Hiro said with clenched teeth.

Kaname sighed.

"I was at the amusement park, then the explosion happened. I don't even know if my parents are alive" Kaname said with trembling eyes. He punched the floor in frustration.

'He was at the park too'. Hiro thought.

"Dammit!" Kaname cursed.

"I don't understand any of this, why would the Chemical Plant explode just like that. Is everything gone?!" he adds tears swelled up in his eyes.

"My parents are still alive," Hiro said with hope.

Kaname's teary eyes land on him.

"They have to be," he said with a ghost smile.

"I still haven't told my dad thank you and sorry for acting the way I did" he broke his tears.

Kaname sobs, cleaning his tears.

Ten eyes trembled as he looked away from them, he looked around for a minute. 'That means?' He thought as tears built up in his eyes. 'Idiot'. He cursed himself, cleaning his tears, his glasses raising in the process. 'You already know that, the explosion explained everything'. His eyes trembled, he observed the others, his eyes going back and forth.

"100" he counted with a stern look. '100 kids in a room'. He thought, adjusting his glasses. 'I see it now'

"100 kids kept in a room, after an explosion!" Ten said out loud to everyone, all their attention drifted to him.

"There is only one possibility. We are being contained by the government after the Chemical Plant exploded. The Chemical Plant powers energy and chemical wastes in the city of Tokyo, something at large exploding could endanger the city or worse, combined with energy and chemical wastes the explosion rate will be every effective at large, henceforth many casualties" Ten said with a stern look, his eyebrows flicking together in a serious look.

Whispers fill the lobby, hearing what Ten said lifted their confusing situation a bit. Everyone was so worried about their loved ones that they didn't have time to think.

"But still, that much explosion is caused with just destruction of the city, we should be in a hospital, with others after experiencing that, with other casualties accordingly" he adds rubbing his chin, his glasses turning blank white.

Nagami Yuki had long dull brown hair, not all straight but long, some shortened in steps and style like wave curl, her eyes pure violet in color.

She watches Ten with an unreadable expression, her back leaning against the wall.

"He's right!" Akimoto Asano said she had long, full purple hair and jade green eyes. She stood beside Yuki.

"Or trying to prove he's smart," Yuki said.

Asano's sweatdrop behind her head.

"That doesn't mean you should say it out loud!" Asano whispers to her.

"What are you saying fatso?" Kaneki said, folding his arms, with a stern look.

"Are you saying we shouldn't be here?" Shino said.

"Precisely!"

"Look around you, we are quarantined certainly, and that only happens to sick people or infected" Ten added.

They all stiffen at his words.

"But we can't be sick or infected, we are tender, we have strong bodies" Daiki spoke up, they turned to him.

"Idiot, everyone gets sick and infected, kids are always the first to come down with it because we are still young," Ryoji said with a twitching eyebrow.

A mirage question mark arose on Daiki's forehead. He raised his hand like he was in a class.

"Daiki still doesn't understand," he said out loud.

Ryoji's mouth drops. 'Is he seriously speaking in a third-person point of view? You have got to be kidding me' he thought, sweat dripping behind his head.

"Hey smart guy!" a voice said, Miyuki Sumi steps out, standing in front of Ten. She had short dark hair that curved to her cheeks and dark pink eyes. A dark look against her features as she stares at Ten.

Ten sweats at her dark stare. 'What's her deal?' Ten thoughts with a shiver.

"Are you saying we are sick or infected?!" she asked.

"Probably yes!"

"Sick after an explosion, then the rest must be dead," Sumi said as she shrugged.

"Hey, we don't know that yet!" Shino fires at her, she said it so casually and it pissed him off.

"I will be glad," Sumi said.

"If the world has ended, there is nothing good in it anyway".

Shino's teeth clenched as his fist tightened, his eyes on her.

"You're saying that because your share of the world wasn't that fun for you, huh?!" Hiro said, rising to his feet.

Yuki stiffens as her eyes land on him, noticing his eyes.

"Words of a blind boy," Sumi said, smirking.

"Watch it!" Hiro hissed, stepping forward like he knew where he was going.

Kaname placed a hand on his shoulder.

"Everyone is probably still recovering from the shock of the explosion," Kaname said.

Hiro pushed his hand away.

"You all should say what you want, I don't care!" Hiro said with a stern look.

"Tck!" Kaneki made a sound annoyed by his tone.

"Bio-genetics you are needed in the meeting room!" Holly's computer voice came in.

They stiffen, as their eyes widen.

Ten turns to stare at the flat speakers on the ceiling.

"Bi...bi...bio-genetics?!" Ten stammers.

"What the hell is that?!" Kaneki said, staring  at the speakers, others did too, except Hiro.

"Quarantined in a white room, just us kids, why?!" Shino said with trembling eyes. 'Just us kids, Michi should be here but she isn't. Our loved ones who most likely survived should be here. Shino's fist clenched more, hard and painful. 'But it's just 100 of us'.

"We are ready for you, Bio-genetics!" The door at the end of the corridor made of iron, slides open bringing out steams.
