Depressed is Putting it Lightly. [Hospital]

[hellfire_gouka]

[Shinju lies in a hospital bed, his wrists restrained. In all honesty, though, he doesn't have the strength to struggle against them, even if he does snap again. Kresnik's healing hadn't helped with the damage to his muscles, and it will likely be a while before he can lift much with his left arm or breathe without difficulty. Added to the fact

[after everything that happened, she really didn't go home. When they let her in, she eagerly returned to his side, disregarding the fact that he was barely speaking. She made a promise, and wasn't about to break it - she wasn't going to go anywhere.]

...the weather's rather nice outside right now. I hope it lasts.

[Were he anything like his normal self, he would be protesting and insisting she leave--insisting that he was dangerous, or that he didn't deserve her company.

Instead, he stayed silent, not making any indication that he heard her.]

[somehow, this treatment isn't surprising. Either way, she's still not leaving, so he can forget about that.]

Though it certainly would be nice to have it all white and snowy for Winter.

CHANGING TENSES oops

[He doesn't even bother to think about responding, letting her voice flow into his head without interpreting the words. Briefly he wonders what her video earlier that day was all about, but... it didn't matter. If she wanted to tell him, she would.]

It's hard to write like this in present tense 8|;

[After a while of lying alone in the hospital, something in Shinju rises. He clenches his jaw and fists, almost glaring at the ceiling.

He's helpless... competely helpless. There's nothing he can do--not to leave the City, help the people there, or even try to make up for what he's done. Nothing. His whole life is just a waste. Even the things he thought he accomplished in the past have been undone. So why is he still here?

Damned City. If it hadn't trapped him here, he might already be dead and save his world and friends the trouble. He never would have done this...

With some difficulty, he draws in a deep breath and lets out a piercing scream, shattering the silence like a hammer to glass. It's all he can do.]

Her way of chastising.. I think... Ignore the very end XD Silly YouTube

*She's not here to talk. Hell, she's torn between pissed off and extremely upset, talking would be a Very Bad Idea. But she's brought something. She walks in quietly, and sets up a small portable radio/CD player. And hits play. then walks back out.*

Pfft, like "you're a good person why did you do this you idiot"? LOL Linkin Park at the end. So emo.

[hellfire_gouka]

*Del catches his attention when she sets down the player, startling him slightly--he was zoned out. He briefly glances over, confused as to what she's doing. He tries to move his hand when she leaves, as if to reach out to her, but the restraints hold him back.

He listens to the song, unsure of what she's trying to tell him. He's wonders if the silence was better than having her leave this without a word.*

XD Exactly. Keywords directed at Shinju XD

[femmebutdanger]

I ended up adding another Linkin Park song to Shinju's FST /D
