Chapter 47: Rest Twenty Three - Settle

*"It's been a while"*

## Major Events

* Ten awakes to Yosuke giving her a bathe. He tells Ten to brush her teeth after vomiting during the previous visit. She explains it was the sight of blood that caused her to vomit
* After stepping into the hall, Ten notices Lilah and Milos speaking to each other. Ten starts gripping on Yosuke's arm and starts feeling sick at the sight of them.
* After the rather bitter pleasantries, Milos asks Yosuke when he'll be able to visit Ten again, Yosuke states he wouldn't allow it. Lilah jumps in and says Ten is worthless and a waste of time
* Yosuke, while hiding his annoyance changes the topic, asking why Lilah and Milos are just chatting around. Milos is on his way to pick up Two for a visit
* Throughout the interaction, Ten tightly clings to Yosuke's hands. Milos and Lilah continue to taunt Ten until Yosuke tells them to stop
* After the conversation ends, Yosuke and Ten are on their way - while Milos stays behind despite heading the same direction.
* Ten becomes deep in her thoughts on how to become tougher in such a rough place and things of the other number's coping mechanisms. Yosuke calls Ten back to attention and they talk about how he babies her
* Cyrus enters the hallway from behind the gates but attempts to move along to avoid confrontation. However Yosuke calls out to him and beckons him to come over. Once Cyrus gets near the gate, Yosuke grabs his chin and comments on how Mom takes good care of him
* Mom interrupts and tells Yosuke to let Cyrus go. When Mom joins in on the conversation, she makes Cyrus tell Yosuke how much he enjoys Mom.
* Yosuke takes Ten's chin and kisses her in front of Mom and Cyrus, likely to show claim over her - before walking off
* Mom asks Ten to recall her name (After finding out her full name awhile ago) - to which Ten responds "Mom"
* After the ordeal, Cyrus and Ten walk into the rec rooms where they find Two, Three and Five - the three numbers are relieved that Ten is alright
* When asked about what happened, Ten gives a very vague response - making it clear that she can't talk about it and lies that she hadn't spoken to anyone about it
* They talk about Cyrus, Two and Eight's conversation following Violet's fall out - Turns out Eight was vouching for Violet's position and doing most of the talking despite dragging Two along for support. Ten is glad that the numbers are warming up to Eight
* Two tells them Violet's in for the day
* Two's name is called on the intercom - for a visit with Milos
* Five offers to go to the crafts room with Three. Cyrus and Ten says they would join later
* Cyrus discusses that Three has a fear of Milos and Lilah but isn't visited by them often due to her sensitivity.
* Cyrus also brings up the uncomfortable confrontation with Yosuke earlier in the gates area - saying it was very strange and Ten adds that Yosuke is creepy like that all the time. Ten also tells Cyrus Mom's real name after being asked about Mom's reaction
* Ten asks Cyrus to talk to Violet but he says he isn't ready. And when he first met her, he tried playing the peacemaker role but it made Violet become attached to him. Ten opts to talk to Violet herself
* Ten walks over to the pool area and sees Violet laying face down in the pool. Ten freaks out and dives into the pool and shoves Violet to the poolside - However Violet was just laying in the pool naked
* Violet demands for a towel if Ten intended to stay around - Ten complies. After she comes back, Violet begrudgingly thanks her
* Ten says everyone is worried about her and that they're trying not to single her out. Violet admits to having low self esteem
* Violet asks if she'd been talking to Cyrus lately, Ten says only for the last 2 days as she was gone for a couple of days. Violet worriedly asks what happened - since she didn't pay attention to the loud noises after the fall out
* Violet feels awful to what she's done and says that Cyrus liked Ten after seeing how he looked at her. He was the same around Jade in the past. She admits to feeling slightly glad when Jade disappeared. Ten says, Violet got attached and it messed with her. She can tell Violet is trying to grow
* She is conflicted about her feelings for Cyrus and admits to having a hard time with the idea of letting him go. Ten encourages her to take accountability of her own feelings. Ten strongly believes that Violet is capable of change. Violet promises to talk to Cyrus when she's ready
* Ten tells Violet she had to deal with her doctor earlier in the day - Violet says that he was annoyed and bored with her as of late since she's been down. He'll eventually "want" her again - they talk about each other's cuts
* Violet is still mad at Ten but is happy that she is forgiven. She asks if Cyrus would forgive her. Before Ten can answer, Blue runs into the room and is glad Ten is still alive. She invites both Ten to the crafts room and tells Violet, she's glad she's fine too and that everyone was worried about her.
* Violet bids them farewell, but when Ten approaches Blue, she says she's too tired to join them in the crafts room.
* Blue jokingly call Ten "Princess" which makes her annoyed
* Ten heads to the theater and lays down on one of the beds - thinking back on Violet and Cyrus' possible feelings towards Ten before falling asleep

## Trivia

* Yosuke started insisting on playing the role of care taker - the beginning of the chapter was his first instance of combing Ten's hair for her (although he has spoon fed her once in the past and bathed her after many visits)
* Lilah and Milo's interaction gives a hint that those two may have been involved with each other in the past
* Yosuke's first interaction with another number in front of Ten - previously he'd only interacted with other doctors
* Micah rarely visits Cyrus but Cyrus sees Violet's scars from time to time
* Violet laying in the pool naked was her attempting to be more confident like how Nine plays basketball naked
* Blue is the first number to call Ten "Princess" - a nickname given to her by many doctors
