A bedroom. In a building. At night.

…!

[What?]

…!...! ….~!

[You forgot to sign. That means it's not good.]

[Sorry. Outside.]

[I'm not going outside….it's..it's 3am.]

[No, I mean look outside.]

...

[Ambulance?]

[Yeah. Sirens woke me up.]

[Probably some idiot got too drunk and fell over or something. Happened last year.]

[We should go to help?]

[No. Professionals there already. Nothing that we could do except get in the way.]

[Back to bed?]

[Yes. I think that would be the best choice.]

Another bedroom. The same building. At night.

"What's happening?"

"I…I can't tell, my room's too far away but the all the noise woke me up."

"Yes, the sirens were most irritating. Well if the emergency services are here, there is little we can offer in the way of additional assistance."

"We…we aren't going to see what's happened?"

"It would be most unladylike to go rubbernecking don't you think?"

"Oh. Y-yes."

"And we wouldn't make ourselves very popular by both stumbling around the corridors in the dark at this ungodly hour of the night."

"I s…suppose not."

"Well if someone decided to get themselves into mischief tonight I'm sure when they wake up tomorrow in the Accident and Emergency ward with a sore head and a bruised ego they'll have plenty of time to think about the decisions they made today."

"Yes. I'm sure it'll be OK. Good night."

"Sweet dreams dear."

Yet another bedroom. The same building. At night.

"Mghng?"

"Quick! Come and see!"

"Whs's?"

"There's something going on over there. There's an ambulance and police and everything. I can see loads of people all running about. It looks serious!"

"Mmm."

"Don't you want to see what's happening?"

"I wish that blue would stay still. It keeps changing to red. Why's that?"

"It's the lights from the ambulance."

"Oh. That explains part of it I suppose."

"What do you mean p…no, no never mind. It's too early for this. Or is it still late? Whatever."

"Hey the blue is darker when I close my eyes. That's a good blue. I'll remember it for tomorrow."

"Well by the time I get…ready and get down there, it'll be all over with anyway. And I've got another early start tomorrow. There's always someone on call for emergencies down there so I'm this will all have a happy ending."

"Mmmthink I've got a towel that's blue like that blue."

"See you in the morning!"

"…"

Another bedroom. Another building. At night.

"He…Hello?"

"Mrs Nakai?"

"Yes?"

"This is the Nurse at Yamaku. We're going to need you and your husband down here. There's been an accident."
