Chapter 48: Rest Twenty Four - Date

*"Something isn't right"*

## Major Events

* Ten wakes up on her own but realizes that she's in the theater and not in her bedroom, as per routine. She notices all the lights have dimmed out - even when she goes into the other rooms trying to find someone else.
* Despite how unsettling it is, Ten surmises that this is after the end of day time and no one has brought her back to her room. She calls out and starts questioning her predicament before heading to the gate area
* She stumbles upon the "Call doctor" button near the infirmary door and presses on it. She waits around but no one comes. Confused, Ten heads back to the restroom to wash off.
* In the restroom, Ten locks the door and takes off her dress to look at her new scars and inspect her body
* Shortly, Ten hears the gate opened but in fear, she stays put in the restroom and keeps the door locked
* She hears someone calls to her, and she immediately identifies it as Yosuke's voice. She eventually opens the door for him and he says he was delayed in picking her up due to working late. However, Ten still finds the situation odd.
* They step out but see that the gates have now been shut - trapping Yosuke and Ten on the rec room side. Yosuke claims there's no way for him to open the gates from the inside.
* Yosuke heads into the infirmary to find a light source - he finds a rather fancy looking lighter despite it not being allowed underground
* They head to the cafeteria and Yosuke says he will ask the cafeteria worker to make something. He asks Ten to change into something else in the meantime
* Ten heads back into the theater and looks through the props and costume. She finds a lot of fake accessories and good quality clothes. She stumbles when she sees a white dress, thinking it was a wedding dress at first glance but it bears no resemblance to the dress in her dream. Ten opts to wear a black dress as it's the more modest dress out of the bunch
* Yosuke enters the room and asks her to twirl after complimenting her look. He escorts her back to the cafeteria where there are two plates of food with a lighted up crayon acting as a candle in the middle of one of the tables. Yosuke says they are reenacting a date since he can't take her out in the real world
* They briefly brush on the topic of killing and death. Yosuke hasn't personally killed anyone himself but he has people to do the killing for him if he needs it. He talks about having thoughts of death and existential dread himself learned to live with it
* Ten asks about his past but he deflects the topic - asking what she hopes to find out and accuses her of finding a reason to cling to his positive traits
* Ten moves on and asks why he's trying to make this a romantic date for them. Yosuke says it's meant to be fun and adores her naivete - as she doesn't seem to understand that dates are meant for two people to get to know each other. Ten tells Yosuke he hurts her emotionally, moreso than the gentler doctors
* Yosuke says he's still rather kind to her compared to the more violent doctors and that she's wrong to villainize him. And that he notices that she's subtly falling for him and resisting him all the same.
* She admits to feeling good with him but insists that she doesn't love nor care about him
* After a period of silence, Ten surmises that Yosuke had done the set up on purpose and questions if he was desperate. He responds that most girls would fall for his antics. Ten opts to ignore and asks where Mom is - Yosuke says he's put her to bed
* Yosuke coaxes Ten into drinking her glass of wine. After a little resistance, Ten sips the wine a bit
* When questioned about his hobbies, Yosuke lists that he's had interests in baseball, literature and music - in his youth he didn't expect to become a doctor. His social life suffered once he started studying and thanks his involvement with Mom for leading him to his current position. He believes he's more relaxed these days
* Yosuke continues and says he's dated Mom and brought her home a couple of times. Ten accuses Yosuke of tiring of people easily like Eight. Yosuke says that Ten is different and that he would never tire of her
* Ten defends Eight when Yosuke says he's unlikeable. He teasingly asks if she's fallen for him too but Ten insists that he's a friend who's also a victim like the rest of the numbers
* Yosuke brings the topic back to Cyrus and Ten cuts him off to stop. Out of anger, she gulps her entire wine glass before excusing herself out the room
* Before walking out, Yosuke calls out to her and "apologizes." He tells her to head to the music room and wait for him while he cleans up.
* Ten heads to the music room and thinks about what Eight would say about her current situation
* Yosuke meets her in the music room and when asked, Ten says she hadn't found any interests due to not remembering
* Yosuke heads to the piano and starts preparing to play - Ten is surprised he can play. He bids her to be his audience while he plays
* After the first song, Ten tries to hide the fact that she is impressed with his playing and asks why he didn't opt to be a musician instead
* Midway through the second song, Ten begins to feel drowsy and realizes she's been drugged. In the process of elimination, she guesses she digested the drug in its liquid form the wine
* Upset and frustrated, Ten tries to get up but the effects has already gone through her, so she collapses near her seat before blacking out

## Trivia

* First rest chapter to completely center around Yosuke and Ten
* It is speculated that the cafeteria working this shift is Charlie
* Nathaniel and Jonathan are said to collect items for the rec rooms - it is implied that they are the ones responsible for collecting all the props for the theater
* The steaks are already pre cut as the numbers are not allowed to have access to a steak knife to prevent the chance of endangering a worker or doctor
* Yosuke mentions people doing the killing for him. Due to the nature of his position of an aboveground worker revealed in Chapter 80, it is highly possible he has sent Lucius to kill off prying eyes or suspicious workers
* Revealed that Mom sleeps in the Facility and rarely goes home
* The wine isn't for the guests
* Yosuke implies there is a cafeteria for both aboveground and underground - the workers feed both the doctors and prisoners
