(Hatori can be seen in a makeshift office, reading over a few pieces of paper that are sprawled on the desk. Behind him is a window where the snow can be seen falling steadily in the night. Normally, he would pay attention to it, but he seems too preoccupied with the contents of the papers. He doesn't look too happy.)

...We'll have to be more

What's wrong...?

[dr_seahorse]

Our supplies seem to be decreasing.

[icyconformist]

...What? Is someone taking them, or...?

[dr_seahorse]

No, we're merely not getting as much as we used to.

[blameshimself]

Careful of what?

[dr_seahorse]

The amount of medicine we administer.

[blameshimself]

Did something happen?

[dr_seahorse]

It isn't anything that you should worry about.

... I'll see what can be done. It will likely not be sufficient for our needs, though...

[dr_seahorse]

I'm sure it will help, nonetheless.

Do you need me to do anything?

[cozmic_travel]

I think we should start making a list of acceptable rationing. Perhaps limit the authority of prescription to a select few.

[dr_seahorse]

I'll start working on that, then.

[dr_seahorse]

I doubt you'll be able to help, Ayame.
