Chapter 45: Rest Twenty Two - Disclosure

*"Everything's said under the table"*

## Major Events

* While walking down the hall, Ten contemplates going back but her want to see her friends is stronger. When they reach the records room, Yosuke enters under the guise of wanting to discuss something with Mom
* The rec doors open and Ten goes through them. She sees Cyrus meditating on the floor. When he becomes aware that Ten has entered the room, he says him and the other numbers had been worried sick since she disappeared for a couple of days.
* Ten becomes paranoid that there are cameras in the rec rooms and that they are being watched - she is very conscious about what she says. However she has an idea to explain what happened under tables
* As Ten and Cyrus walk out of the rec rooms, they run into Lav - who had been worried about Ten and was keeping an ear out for doors opening and opting to look for her. She says the other numbers heard gunshots after Ten had left the other day
* However, they are still in the hallway when they see Yosuke leaving the records room door. The numbers aren't able to hear clearly but Ten can infer that Yosuke is attempting to angrily end his conversation with Mom. They can also hear Mom shouting something back
* Ten shoves Lav and Cyrus into the crafts room door so that she's standing alone in the hallway. When Yosuke turns to completely leave the records room, he glances her way before walking off
* Ten heads back into the crafts room for Lav and Cyrus and notice Eight in the room, working on a musical notation for his first music lesson as Six's and Five's instructor
* The numbers go under the table and Ten starts recalling the events of the previous days (but using very vague terms to avoid getting in trouble) - the order of events that are now known to Eight, Lav and Cyrus:
	+ The day Mom used Ten in the gate area
	+ Ten and Cyrus were forcibly coupled
	+ Mom and Yosuke had a fling in the past
	+ Ten had met the Boss and the Gunman and the event that transpired in the hall
	+ The existence of Jay and another prisoner group: Letters
	+ Confirmation that prisoners do get killed
	+ Previous Numbers that were mentioned in Six's journal
	+ Ten's conversation of recalling the events to Gale
	+ How Yosuke used Ten with a drug that made her want him as a punishment for lying - noting how Yosuke started acting strangely after the visit
	+ Ten suspects Gale knows about Five and Six's relationship and them possibly setting them up
* Cyrus says Mom had acted out in the past but has been getting worst with time. Eight infers that Mom was obsessed with him for a time but wonder if it's because his doctor was Yosuke at the time.
* Eight surmises that the reason why Yosuke has a hold on Ten is because she is receptive to his advances. Unlike Eight, who was both stubborn and unresponsive - which lead to the doctor to eventually tire of him
* On the topic of the doctors being involved with one another, Eight details that Mom and Lilah don't get along at all. Cyrus joins and says that Violet has told him that Sven and Micah don't get along either.
* Violet has been reportedly avoiding everyone for now - Cyrus feels guilty but Eight is annoyed after him and Two had spoken to Cyrus about it
* Eight knows Gale was fishing for information when they were speaking with Ten. But admits he'd rarely sees Gale
* The numbers have never heard of the drug described in Ten's last brush with Yosuke and wonder why they produced it if they don't use it on the prisoners, Eight warns that Yosuke's behavior after the visit was concerning in itself and to watch out.
* Ten struggles trying to seek answers for *why* the doctors act the way they do - however Eight says there's nothing to understand and that the doctors are just sick and sex obsessed people. Cyrus also doesn't want to know the answers to everything as well
* Ten asks Cyrus about the Previous Numbers and their deaths:
	+ Previous Two (Sienna) was the first to disappear due to being pregnant. She came back but didn't have any memories from before she disappeared. After awhile she stopped showing up
	+ Previous Three (Jet) disappeared after Sienna - he was important to Four
	+ Previous Four was explicitly killed and was close to Jet. In a rage out of the number's disappearances, he started being destructive around the room. Cyrus overheard and tried to stop him - Four was then dragged away by another doctor (That wasn't his)
	+ Previous Five (Penny) was level headed but died in her sleep while resting in the rec rooms. Cyrus had been talking to her shortly before her death and was dragged away
	+ Previous Six (Amber) was rough around the edges but started losing herself during the span of numbers disappearing. She died by suicide from cutting herself with scissors
	+ Previous Seven (Olive) and Eight had disappeared due to increasing instability after previous number's deaths
	+ Previous Nine was a sweet girl with a personality similar to Blue's - in fact, her and Blue were friends for a bit. She died of drug overdose
* Gale had spoken to Cyrus after these deaths but not as extensively as Ten
* They end the grim conversation and attempt to console each other - Eight opting out of a group hug. He shakes hands with Cyrus instead
* They continue their day as if the conversation hasn't happened
* End of day happens and Ten heads to the gate. Yosuke seems to be distant when she meets with him
* On the way back to her room, she asks Yosuke about his conversation with Mom earlier and he chalks it up to Mom trying to make a move on him. However, Yosuke tells her he wants Ten and not Mom
* When they return to the room, Ten sees a journal on her desk given to her by Gale. In frustration, she tears up and rips the journal. Yosuke watches on before she leans on him
* After awhile, Yosuke leads her to her bed and leaves the room

## Trivia

* First chapter to hit over 18k wordcount
* When Yosuke enters the records room, he was already executing the first part of his plan for Chapter 48 and Chapter 49
* While Ten wasn't able to successfully locate cameras in the area, there were definitely cameras installed
* When Mom was brought away by the workers, Lilah was the one to bring Cyrus back to his room
* Gale rarely visits Eight - so Eight is never in the situation to speak to them
* Milos is known to use substances during visits
