Wait? What room is it?

Eli couldn't take it much longer. He'd already started to stutter. Something he hadn't done in a long time. Something he was sure he had grown out of. But Pario said that they were here. And he said more than he normally saw around people. Eliza looked around again, as if he might be able to see them if he did. He knew that being at a school where people had powers meant he'd eventually run into someone who could see the dead, but he never thought that that person would be his roommate.

He turned to sit on his bed, slipping his fingers under his sunglasses and pressing them against his eyes, as if willing the tears that threatened him to stay where they were. He tossed the sunglasses onto his bed and looked down at the red radiation veins running through his hands. When Pario asked his question, Eli looked right at him, not in a hurried or shocked or offended manner. It had been a long time since he had removed his sunglasses, though he knew he'd learned control over his eyes and radiation.

"Y-yeah." He muttered, smiling tiredly and nodding slightly. He closed his eyes and rolled his head back until his face was toward the ceiling. "Mama might be there. Papa too. Nikolaus, Ludwig, Ada, Adele, Adrian and Agatha." He sniffed slightly while he listed his siblings names, still trying hard to hold back a tear. "Albert, Bastian, Alfons and Edmund." His childhood friends. "And maybe Amy." At this a tear finally rolled down his cheek. He couldn't hold it back very easily. Amy was the one person he had most expected to not be effected. "And there are still some I might have forg-" he stopped short, not wanting to say forgotten because he'd never forget.

Wiping his cheek dry he looked back at Pario. "Sorry." He muttered, then looking back at his hands.

The past was the past. Killing was something he didn't want to do, so he tried hard not to. He sort of caught that old movie moral of letting go of the past and looking forward to the future, because you couldn't go back and fix things. He'd heard that so many times it made him angry to hear it. But when he thought about it, he wasn't doing that. He didn't want to. It just brought itself up when he was pondering things. It was hard to avoid.

And then Eli laughed. "Hah! Careful about talking to them. Ada will talk your ear off and Ludwig is very, very OCD. He'll probably correct everything you do, if he sticks around long enough." Eli was laughing at this memory. Ludwig was OCD. That was why the house had been so clean.

"No, no. Don't be sorry." He said, sniffing slightly as he held back another tear at remembering his family. He wondered if the people in charge of the school had known their powers and purposefully put them in the same dorm. Though, it would get a little awkward, since Eli had a large family and Pario seemed really nice. The Bauer's could be very overwhelming sometimes.

"I'm fine." He said, standing and slipping his right hand glove back on. He walked over to Pario and held out his hand. "Eliza. But call me Eli." He introduced himself with a small, tired smile.

The fact that Pario now had more people following him hadn't crossed Eli's mind. He hadn't really thought that Pario might not like being able to see them. But most people didn't understand another person until they were them. And that was never going to happen.

It was nice to shake hands with someone for once. Sure, he had to wear his gloves, but it was nice to have that feeling again. He had a friend. Which was an odd thing to think. So he just told himself he had someone who could probably talk to him once in a while. If things didn't get awkward.

At Pario's comment, Eli looked interested. "Oh?" He said, asking, in a way, who it was that was following Pario and telling him what to do. But Pario didn't have to answer, of course.

Eli hadn't wanted to make Pario uncomfortable, the choice to answer had been his. Eliza would have gladly gone the entire time with Pario in their dorm not knowing who it was following Pario. Mostly because he didn't really care that much about who it was. Though, he was sure she might be the cause of most of the moods Eli would eventually see Pario in throughout his time there.

A second soul? That was an interesting way to put it. Eli's head flinched toward the sound that Pario's sister made. Heh, that was a little odd. But when Pario said she said hi, Eli smiled, a little warily. "Uh, hi back, I guess." He said, slightly awkwardly. This was definitely going to be a fun stay.

What were they to do next? A silence fell as Eliza lost words to say and he couldn't tell if it was an awkward silence or not. But it was a silence.
