Freak Boy comes back with two blankets and two pillows. He hands the better of the two blankets to Zero, and passes her a pillow. Freak Boy's blanket is frayed on the ends, but warm none the less. It does the job, even if it has a bit of wear and tear.
"Would you like anything before going to sleep," he asked as he placed his pillow on his recliner and set the blanket up to be ready for use.

"No, I think I'll be fine." I say. I could use a drink but unlike cigarettes I am not willing to chance that. "Thanks again for letting me stay here. And for your help."

"No problem Zero," Freak Boy says, kicking off his shoes and climbing into the reclining chair.
"If you need anything, just let me know." And with that, he curled up into a little ball in the chair, wrapped the blanket around himself, placed his head on the pillow, and tried to sleep in the reclining chair. He was always a short guy, 4'11" to be precise, but when he curled up in the blanket he looked like a small child. He wasn't asleep yet, thanks to insomnia, but he was at least getting drowsy.

"Okay, thanks. Goodnight." I say. I stretch out and throw the blanket over myself, and fall asleep in a few minutes. I feel a lot less stressed than I have, which is a good thing...

Once Rei falls asleep, Freak Boy begins to nod off... he gets about two hours of sleep before bolting upright at the sound of a creaking floor-board. Looking to his left, he sees that the culprate is nothing more than a rat scurrying under the door.
"So much for sleep," he says, standing up and putting his blanket and pillow back in the cabinets. He grabs his laptop and sits at the dinner-table, looking through his journal entries from before the memory loss again.

I wake up only about an hour after Freak Boy does, except I seem fully rested. "Ah, good morning. You're up already?"

"I only ever manage to get about an hour or two of sleep at a time... my subconscious is always on the lookout for things while I sleep. That and the insomnia doesn't help," he says, stopping to talk to her instead of continuing his reading.
"Hungry?"

"A little." I say. However despite my small size I have a large appetite, and a little hungry means I need a decent amount of food. "So are you going to get started already or are you just trying to tire yourself back out?"

"Get started on what," Freak Boy asked, standing up and heading to the fridge to start fixing breakfast.

"On the day. Whatever." I say. "I only need to sleep a couple of hours a day. I was going to do some research on the local situation, but if you're up maybe you could give me a hand."

"Relax, once I'm up, I'm up. Too paranoid to fall back to sleep. After breakfast we can see if we can rent the old apartment complex... try and convince them not to tear it down," he said, pulling out the last of his ground beef. "Are Taquitos ok with you?"

"I don't have a clue what they are. I'll give them a try. I tried a lot of Indian food because of Lubimi..." I comment. I don't mention that I used to live on rotten meat and moldy bread...

"K, taquitos it is," he said, setting some tortillas on the stove and slabbing the meat down on a hot pan.
"Anyway, the only problem I could see is how to pay for the building, but with any luck we'll manage a way to get some rent up. Charge the rebels who join us a weekly fee--something like that."

"Yes, and if we wanted to chance going back to Helsinki I have some gold hidden away just for this sort of thing. But that is a bit of a chance..."

"Going back to Helsinki would be suicide," Freak Boy says, flipping the meat and mixing it around in the pan.
"They'll expect it and bomb us again. We're no good to the movement if we're dead. Breakfast'll be ready in a few minutes. If you want to grab some water the sink's over there."
