The hospital setting isn't new to Nanako, though it does confuse her slightly. Didn't she get to leave the hospital with her daddy months ago? Was all that happened after just some sort of weird dream she had while she was asleep, recovering from that spooky thing that happened with Big Bro and his friends? She's not sure, and she definitely know she feels fine now, sitting up in bed easily and looking around her room.
Maybe it's just her, but this room doesn't seem the same at the one she vaguely remembers. Did they move her to another one while she was asleep? The bed feels bigger, and the walls aren't the same color...there wasn't a window before, was there? Those questions pass through Nanako's head only for a moment, before an even bigger, more important one blares like a siren against her psyche--
Where is my big bro? Where is my daddy?I want my daddy.
Despite that, she keeps quiet and doesn't pester the staff too much, or move from her bed. She's a good girl, and does as she's told, though eventually the curious child in her does start to eat away at her conscience, giving way to her inquisitive side. Looking left and right to make sure there's no one watching or passing by her door, Nanako peels back the blankets of her hospital bed and slides off the mattress, peering around her room and through the crack in the door curiously, looking deeply bothered. She doesn't know exactly where she is, and if her daddy is okay - she really wants to see him right now - but at the same time her shy nature and reserved personality keeps her tongue in check.
Only when she's spotted does Nanako shy back towards her bed, but it's hesitantly. She's dying to go looking around to try and find her father - he should be here too, they were admitted together to the same hospital, after all - but she just can't bring herself to drum up the courage to ask. It's a little intimidating for a child of her age, and the nurses and doctors all look so busy, too... She shouldn't bother them...] ---
[2.) Into the Woods:
She heard it. The scream.
Nanako knows better than to wander off into the woods by herself, especially after what she's been through already - daddy told her not to do certain things, and he's a detective! - but it's eating her inside. She's scared, remembering all about the murders in Inaba, and that scary man that took her away...that weird world...and how hard it was to breathe--
Pursing her lips and walking the length of the path where the trees begin to draw closer together - the edge of the forest - Nanako peers into them, turning her head this way and that, looking around in hopes that possibly someone, anyone older might come along and investigate, or offer to help...something! She knows how terrifying it was to get kidnapped, and what if someone's really in danger? Or hurt? Shouldn't they do something to help? Isn't there a policeman or a detective here? Nanako still wants to find her family, but her attention span is still that of a child. She's curious, and has a strong sense of justice (living in a household where you daddy's job is to catch the bad guys does that, after all), and a big heart. If someone's in trouble, we should do something!
But...she's also just a little kid, and she does know better. Daddy said not to go looking for trouble. If you think something is wrong, you find a policeman, or someone older to help. That's what he said, but no one seems to want to listen to her...]
Mmnn... [Nanako licks her lips, and kicks a rock into the bushes, standing still and listening intently in case maybe she'll hear the yell again or something.] I dunno what to do...
