Not being able to sleep once again, Ruki tossed and turned underneath the covers. Covers that had begun to pin him closer to the bed. Preventing his movement. His escape. Ruki kicked furiously at the sheets; grabbing them with his hands as he sat up and pulled them from under the mattress. Throwing the cotton material onto the floor, Ruki sat on the edge of the bed and gripped the mattress. How could his parents cause him this much suffering.
Taking to his feet, Ruki pulled a fresh shirt from one of the drawers; and headed into the common-room. Slipping the shirt over his head, Ruki knew he was aiming to wander the castle once more. Stepping from the portrait hole, he set off along the corridor; and down the stair-case. This time he was not interrupted by a young girl on her own travels.
As he walked across the stone floors, Ruki realised he hadn't collected his shoes before leaving. The slight coldness with each step called him to turn back; but something was pulling him forward. Ruki knew his parents where back at the dorm-room.
After several minuets, Ruki had found his way to the bottom of the castle; not fully aware of his surroundings, or knowing where he could go from there. Turning to head back to the ground floor, Ruki caught sight of the entrance to the kitchens. Moving forward, he decided a cup of cocoa would be the perfect solution.
