[you wake up in a completely sterile white room, lying on a hospital bed. You are hooked up to an IV, and a soft humming beep pulses in the air]

[you feel very alone]

[is probably better off than you, but with a tremendous headache. also attempting to sit up, finally spotting you]

...Rikuou...!

[u_jerk]

Chitose-

[man you look like shit too]

What happened?

[weatherfairy]

[you look worse than me...]

Y-you... got slashed down. And. It affected Ryuuken-san-- he got distracted. I felt it too. H-he got hit.

...I don't-- I don't remember more. But it hurt.

[weatherfairy]

[swallows] Rikuou...

[u_jerk]

....

[staring at his hands, balled up into fists in his lap]

What does slashed down mean.

[weatherfairy]

...that other one. The one with claws-- R-Rikuou, you-- you don't remember?

[u_jerk]

I remember. But it happened fast, and the bitch was behind me.

...how bad was it.

[weatherfairy]

[just looks at you and shakes his head] ...t-there was ... a lot of b-blood. I tho-- I thought--

...I'm so glad you're alive.

[u_jerk]

.....

Sorry.

[weatherfairy]

[starts to shake his head more vigourously, but stops almost immediately, splaying a hand over his face in pain]

D-don't be. Don't be sorry.

[u_jerk]

Of course I'm sorry. You didn't deserve any of this.

[weatherfairy]

Neither did you!

[u_jerk]

I've been in this kind of stuff before.

And I'd fight like that for him. Any day.

[weatherfairy]

...

I know. I wanted to. But all I did was. Nothing.

Whether you've been in the situation before or not doesn't mean you deserve it. No one did.

[u_jerk]

.... yeah. No one did.
