Lead up to Day 2 (2)

***

The next morning, Ken woke up feeling refreshed. He inwardly thanked Mika again for her sleep protocol which allowed him to enter a deep sleep almost instantly.

As he got up and stretched, he saw a pair of haunting eyes with bags under them staring at him.

Ken jumped in fright as he quickly retreated to the wall, almost tripping on some others. The figure that was staring at him was pale and looked like a zombie, or even a corpse for that matter.

Since it was dark, it took his eyes some time to adjust.

It was only after a few moments that he recognized the figure who had been sleeping in the bed opposite him. Although sleeping might not have been the word he would use.

"Shiro what the hell are you doing man?" Ken whispered, trying not to wake up the others who were still asleep.

Shiro could only let out a groan in response, his body looking as if he hadn't slept in 3 days at the very least.
