"You're awake," Reflected in those eyes were the figures of four people who crowded around him. The raven-haired one had spoke, the star blinked once in response.

"Ah..." The redhead grinned, holding out his trays of food. "I've prepared this for you under the orders of the Great Sakura!"

The raven-haired one narrowed his eyes at the redhead, and turned back to him with a smile. "Are you okay? ...What's your name?"

"......" He blinked silently at them, before nodding once, and seemed to ponder for a little while, before he spoke. "..Stars have no name... But, my Heavenly Father called me Tetsu."

"I'm Die," The redhead poked his head near him, and stuck the tray on his lap. "That's Lebin and that's Yukihiro. And this big one here is Sakura." (The raven-haired narrowed his eyes again, extracting a grin from the redhead.)

Tetsu seemed slightly shocked at the treatment, and smiled gently, a smile which would have melted ice fortresses. "Stars don't eat."

"Stars? Hoshi? the kind of stars in the sky?" One of the kid's eyes glittered as he looked up at him.

"I thought you were an angel," The quiet one said to him.

He laughed. "Angels are so much different from stars... I'm only a single one. Nee... Take the food back. I don't need to eat."

"But I can cook well," Die feigned a sigh, and grinned.

Tetsu shook his head. "I'm not hungry."

Almost as if sensing something was causing a heavy atmosphere in the room, Sakura turned, to see that Hyde was looking out of the window. ".. .nee.. Die, please step aside a little." Walking over to Hyde's side, he stretched a hand out, and asked, "Can you walk?"

"I can," Hyde ignored his gesture, and pulled himself out of bed. He did it weakly, and almost fell, but he refused to look at Sakura one bit.
