She was still having trouble sorting out the details herself. With the appearance of Dipp and Kinoko (Was that their names? Oh no, she hoped she hadn't forgotten them already.) and Kyo's decision to go look for Tohru, things had gotten pretty hectic. She didn't even know where the fox boy had gone. She had gone to check on him, thinking he was sleeping under Riku's coat, but when she lifted the fabric she found he had disappeared. He must have left when Kyo did. The thought scared her somewhat. She hadn't known the fox boy for long, but he seemed even less capable of protecting himself than she was. She hoped he would be all right.

In any case, it was just the three of them left in the room now. Naminé was sitting on the bed, anxiously folding and unfolding Riku's coat. She had wanted to get it off the ground, but once it was in her lap she didn't know what to do with it. It only made her more aware that Riku and Sora were somewhere out there with those nobodies. She knew she had no right to be worried for them--she wasn't supposed to know them after all--but she was worried all the same.

Despite this seeming preoccupation with the coat, Naminé was aware of the two other people in the room. She just didn't know what to say to them. Finally, she ventured a question. "Do you know where Riku is right now?" A part of her was worried, since Dipp had not mentioned Sora, that Sora was now separated from Riku. She was sure that Sora and Riku could take care of themselves, but somehow she would have felt better knowing they were both together.

Suddenly she stood up and turned to the window. The coat slid off her lap to the ground. "I--I can't hear it anymore," she said, astonished.

"He said something about finding someone," Dipp stated from his spot at the door, holding his Katamari in his hands, spinning it once in a while on a fingertip just to watch the lights swirl for something to keep him calm. "They seemed pretty hellbent on it... A girl I think..." he glanced out from under slate blue hair, frowning at Naminé's nervous folding. He didn't know any of them all that well, all but Kinoko, but the Kyo boy had left to find someone as well, and the fox boy... He hadn't seen him leave, too preoccupied with his younger Cousin.

But then the blonde went to the window, and out of curiousity, Dipp moved off the door and approached the window with a furrowed brow. Letting his pale eyes skim across the ground outside, he pressed a hand against the sill. "I don't either..."

Kinoko kept plastered to Dipp's side. She even had her face turned towards his body, listening to the blonde girl with half an ear. She didn't like this place at all. They were so far away from everything else, and everyone was so tall and scary. Well, the blonde wasn't scary, but the other two had been a little scary. Not that she was so easily scared! Kinoko was going to be better about that!

"...it's...quiet..." Kinoko offered very quietly herself. She didn't have anything else to say.

Ah, she should have know that. Namine had a pretty good idea of who this girl was. The word "they" hadn't been lost on her, so she could only hope that the other person with Riku was Sora. Though it did make her a little sad, she hoped that they found the girl they were looking for.

However, there were more important things to attend to at that moment. "Do you think they're gone?" she asked, still a bit aprehensive. Had the attacks really stopped? It could have been that they had just ki... kil... no, she couldn't think of what they had done. There had to be some people still safe, didn't there? Please, there had to be. Maybe the attacks wre just over. She wasn't about to suggest that they just go out and look for themselves, but they couldn't stay in this hotel room forever, could they?

"They seem to be," Dipp put his arm around Kinoko's shoulders lightly, pressing his hand against the window and peering out. He wasn't sure about what exactly was going on, but as long as they were safe... There was also the fact he felt that Riku and Sora could handle themselves well enough. "I'd say we go and look, but..." Dipp seemed to be on the same thought process as Naminé. It wasn't safe to go out there, nor was it intelligent.

"Other people are obviously being smart enough to stay indoors," he was thinking about survivors as well. There had to be, not everyone was a complete idiot... and a lot of them had to of been able to fight back against the creatures.

"...what do we do now?" Kinoko asked very quietly. Staying here forever would be ... it wouldn't be good. Even she could tell that, but it wasn't good to go out either. Namine had friends, and maybe the friends would come back. But Dipp and Kinoko did not have many friends, and not many big friends who knew what to do.

Kinoko didn't like it here. She wanted to go home. Well, maybe not go home because she wasn't sure she liked it there too. But being here all around where people were crazy and trying to beat them. Kinoko didn't like it here.

"Then, do you think there could be other people hiding inside this building, like us?" Naminé asked. If Dipp was right about people staying indoors, then maybe there were people inside the hotel as well. "Should we go look for them?"

She noticed that Riku's coat was still on the ground. She picked it up and, deciding it was best not to begin her nervous folding again, laid it on the bed in a heap. The black fabric both comforted and frightened her, with it's similarities to the Organization's coats. They had been all she had ever known, ever since she was "born." Still, she wasn't in any hurry to go back to them. But it was only a matter of time.

It was only a matter of time before they came to find her. Her eyes widened, and she looked back over at Dipp and Kinoko. She didn't want those two to be involved should the organization try to find her. They were innocent. She had to get away, somehow. Especially since she couldn't let Sora and Riku get too close to her. She had to leave before they came back.

She dismissed the horrible feeling in her chest. She shouldn't have feelings anyway.
