[PRIVATE] Visitation Time

(Both detectives pull up chairs next to Chris' bed. One of the detectives retrieves a piece of paper, that appears to have been torn out from a journal, and hands it to Chris.)

"That was found among the charred remains of an apartment building that a former student and an adult were found dead in. You... might not like it's contents."

(Chris reads the frantic looking handwriting until he happens upon an uncanny sketch of a young, hooded girl at the bottom of the page.)

"We believe that your girlfriend may be a target of interest for whoever that attacked you and Mr. Veach. You must know realize why your cooperation is paramount in this case...

(Chris startles both detectives by crumbling the piece of paper and hurling it at a wall.) "I'll cut off his balls and send them to a foreign country to be boiled down and cooked if he so much as lays a finger on her!"

"Easy there, Mr. Cook. You have our word that Ms. Nakagawa will be placed on twenty-four surveillance until the we've apprehended whoever is responsible for attacking you and Mr. Veach."

[This is perfect, great job Chris! Didn't think anyone had picked up on the hints that Eric was infatuated by her.]

(Chris falls asleep and the detectives wander out into the hallway to be confronted by several of Chris' friends.)

"He fell asleep while we were talking to him. I recommend you all clear out of here for the time being." (The detectives put on their fedoras and exit the hallway, leaving behind more questions to an already surreal murder case.)

That was some fast questioning
Yuuji nods but Reopens the door as the Officers leave letting everyone back inside
"Go in, Come on. We came here to visit him so we are going to stay."

"R-Right...!"

(Chris is experiencing a horrifying nightmare that involves him coming face-to-face with Eric. Eric is standing in the center of a room, surrounded by several of Chris' allies; only this time, Satoshi and Kuriko are also there. Taunting Chris, Eric has a gun pointed at Sumiko's head.) You've come all this way only to have to make a painful decision. (Eric pulls the hammer on his handgun back.) Before I end this bitches life, I want her to know you for what you really are.

(With that said, Chris's eyes begin to turn crimson red and he collapses to the floor and begins ripping his clothes off. Moments later, he has turned into a ferocious werewolf: hell-bent on tearing Eric limb from limb. As soon as Chris begins charging furiously at Eric and Sumiko, Chris awakens to find himself sweating profusely in his dark hospital room. He looks over to find Rachel and Sumiko fast asleep on couches. Sumiko, unable to sleep, quickly takes note of Chris' panicked state.)

She quickly runs to his side
"A-are you okay Chris?"

Chris grabs Sumiko and pulls her close to his bare chest. "Why are you here? Don't you know that's it's not safe to be around me presently?"

"I-I just wanted to say goodbye but you never woke up..."
She hugs him back
"The nurse gave me permission to stay the night."

Chris kisses Sumiko on her head. "Is the door locked?"

"Y-Yes..."
She cuddles close to him
"A-are you feeling better...?"

"A little. Do you happen to know how Satoshi's recovery is progressing, Sumiko-chan?"

"N-No... I have not heard anything..."

Chris continues to sweat upon realizing his next painful request for Sumiko. "Sumiko... this may be the last time we ever speak like this. I may be injured, but I can't remain confined to this room while someone out there has the potential to terrorize Yamaku. If I happen to disappear in the morning, I want you to stay in your dorm room as much as possible." Chris pears straight into Sumiko's soul. "Do you understand?"

Her heart skips beat
"W-what....w-why?! No.... no no!! P-Please stay with me, Please! D-don't go!!"
She begins crying burying her face on his bear chest

Chris tries diligently to disguise his own tears, but ultimately fails due to seeing how he's once again made Sumiko worry about his well-being. "Sumiko..." Chris turns one of his finger nails into a claw and exposes it to Sumiko. "I'm so sorry..." Chris bows his head to hide his shame.

She quickly lets go of him falling of the bed. Speechless and in tears Sumiko shakes her head crawling back to the wall

Chris is still unable to lift his head to face Sumiko. "Is this reason enough to distance yourself from me?"

Sumiko wipes her tears
"W-what are you...?"
"Why did your finger change?!"

"You probably think I'm a freak, don't you? I don't blame you for reacting this way... Would you believe me if I told you that the world is far more complex than you've been led to believe?"

"W-what do you mean?"
more tears start to form in her eyes

Chris gulps and decides to lift his head to reveal that his eyes are now effervescently gold. "I'm... a werewolf, hence why I'm able to produce such realistic howls. And that incident at the zoo..."

Smiko stares into his eyes as in some sort of trance. She twitches a bit and shakes her head trying to denying the fact
"No! no!"
She yells
"I-It can't... no!"

Chris, now assured that he can relieve Sumiko of her anxiety to seeing him transform various body parts, speaks to her in a soft-spoken manner. "Sumiko-chan, even though I'm not what you thought I was, I would never dream of harming you or anyone of my companions. Just please... don't shun me like so many others have..."

Sumiko looks back at him not know what to say..
"I-I...."
She clenches her hand and nods...She could not reject his words. Her heart was beating at a rapid pace, a cold shiver ran down her spine and a light sweat began to appear. Sumiko looked at Chris and nodded again Still not being able to find the right words.
