Chapter 56: Rest Twenty Seven - Honesty

*"You endure a few unpleasant moments in your search for Cyrus, but eventually find and confront your friend."*

## Major Events

* After looking through several rooms, Ten finds herself in the music room and frustratingly recalls the events of the date. When she has enough, she wanders back into the hall way and runs into Monica who is holding a lot of bottles. She asks Ten to help her since Mom had been called away to help Micah with "something"
* Ten declines to help her after debating whether or not Monica is to be trusted due to the nature of the Facility and her position as a doctor. Ten asks Monica why she let's Mom treat her the way she does and whether or not she had worked there previously (remembering that Two mentioned he recognized her)
* When asked, Monica says she has memories of her past before working at the Facility and attempts to sympathize with Ten, while recognizing that her position would make it difficult for her to connect with any of the numbers
* Lilah enters the gate area in the middle of the conversation and bitterly recalls running into Mom earlier with Micah. She shows distaste when Monica asks her to help with opening the gate and refusing to take a step into the office because it's Mom's place of work as a "secretary"
* The conversation between Lilah and Monica continue - vaguely alluding to Monica's position and Lilah's relationship with her boss (how he doesn't dislike her) and advices Monica on how to deal with him (don't piss him off)
* Lilah finally brings her attention to Ten and starts taunting her - how she talks back but can't stand on her own for very long. She also alludes to dealing with Jay's corpse in a condescending tone before demanding Ten leaves the area
* Ten ends up in the garden area where she find Cyrus who had fallen asleep. They end up discussing a large array of topics:
	+ Cyrus forgives Violet for feeling the way she did towards Jade
	+ Cyrus explains he cried when the memorial was completed due to a range of feelings: sadness, regret and the thought that their "togetherness" isn't permanent
	+ Eight is unable to pinpoint Yosuke's actions anymore due to how aggressively obsessive the doctor has become for Ten
	+ Mom has been obsessed with attention in general and has been acting up here and there, but not specifically Cyrus himself
	+ Explaining Charlie and how the other numbers have come to know him
	+ Vaguely talk about the Boss and Marcellus - and running in to Lilah earlier
	+ Cyrus scolds Ten for making a doll of Jay - fearing it might get her killed
	+ More specific of Yosuke's use of Ten in the gardens and his growing obsession in general
	+ Cyrus mentions he's aware of Ten's closeness with Lav and is still in the process of moving on from Jade
	+ Cyrus doesn't recognize Monica from his old group
	+ Talk more about the previous numbers and their doctors
		- However Cyrus can't remember Jade's doctor much
		- Ten suspects that Jade's doctor got her pregnant
	+ Cyrus had acted differently with the previous group because their dynamic was so different and was prone to more arguments
	+ Cyrus has no recollection of the previous Ten'
* They start talking about grim thoughts of death and what they want (within the confines of the Facility)
* Eventually they start hinting at their attraction towards each other and Cyrus suddenly kisses Ten on the cheeks
* Cyrus admits that he does care about Ten and loves her - wishing he can protect her. They recall the horrible time they were forced on each other but admit that they felt good
* Cyrus asks if Ten wants to "Try again"

## Trivia

* The oddness of Ten's conversation with Monica regarding her past is further explained in Chapter 77
* No one knows much about Jade's doctor - either their memories of him were wiped or they didn't see much of him around since he only exclusively visited Jade
