When: Morning, before 8
Where: Juno’s room, then Chase’s room
Marco wasn’t convinced that the posts on the network were real. He didn’t think that he was crazy not to, either. They had already singled him out with the octopus tattoo, instructing everyone to ignore it and say nothing. They had wanted to see him squirm. Posts from people he knew wouldn’t be too hard to fake. It wasn’t something that they’d done before, and hell, usually they liked to use the truth to hurt people, but how was this different than projecting images in mirrors?
It was probably fake. One of the people who had come back was Juno, and she had been told directly by Levi that he was back, and she hadn’t reached out to him yet. It felt… uncomfortably par for the course, at least in Marco’s current state of mind, but that was probably why it was fake.
Then again, he hadn’t reached out to her, either. He opened a private message, but the blank box remained empty. He could ask her questions that he thought only she knew the answer to, but They knew everything, didn’t they? And even if they didn’t…
Well. He just wanted to see her.
He headed up the stairs a moment later, still in the scrubs that he used as pajamas, and the slippers she had given him for Christmas. He thankfully had already brushed his teeth and washed his face, and neck, but hadn’t stopped to cover up the octopus. It didn’t really matter if she wasn’t actually there, anyway.
His heart pounded as he approached the door, and he focused on that rather than the mocking voices in his head. If it was fake, then They had been smart enough to put Juno’s name back on the right bedroom door. Looking around the fourth floor, he could see that Jack and Lennon’s names were up to. Maybe it would have been easier to start with Lennon.
But he started with Juno. He knocked gently on her door, then pressed his ear up against it, listening for any sounds that might have been distinctly Juno.
