But they're also too common for Baren to even blink. He knows this one too. It's the halls of a hospital, but not the one in Recollé. No, every sign is written in Japanese and there isn't a single trace of the familiar city outside. Instead, it's the expanse of Tokyo.
He enters a room because he doesn't know where else to go, and he tells himself he wouldn't be able to pull away from the memory in the first place.
Maybe he just doesn't know how to pull away from this memory in particular.
Should Zoro follow, he'll find himself outside the door of Patient Asahi Kaiyou.
The nurses speak in hushed tones, but neither seem to recognize Zoro there, as if he doesn't belong in the dream:
"She doesn't have much longer.... do you think he knows?"]
[Zoro recognizes these halls. He's been through them before, as a teenager, as a stuntman, as a mourner. It'd be a lie to say he wasn't comforted by its signs, the view from its windows. That still doesn't stop him from trying to get out.
Only the sight of Baren stops him. For a minute, he thinks he imagined him but the image stays solid and Zoro moves towards him, wordlessly. Trails behind him as he brings him to the door of a name that's completely unfamiliar.
He doesn't step inside. Wants to preserve Baren's privacy. The nurses don't seem to care as much. Zoro glares at them until he gets no reaction.]
