week one, thursday.

[pura]

Hey, it's Nogiku.
Text me when you regain consciousness.

[9mon]

i'm p nw

[pura]

Oh.
Maybe I should come to you.
Where are you?

[9mon]

meddbay

[pura]

I'll be right there.

[Give her a few minutes, and she's running. What is he up to when she enters the medbay?]

[9mon]

[He's just sitting there, with his shirt bloody and torn, his arm wrapped up in bandages and a split.

He seems a little out of it.]

[pura]

[... Oof.]

... Hyodo-san, I'm here.

[9mon]

[He at least seems to snap to attention when he's called]

Oh... Hey. Sorry for...

[The blood and everything.]

[pura]

[A shake of her head.]

Don't apologize for things you can't control. Were all your wounds taken care of?

[9mon]

My arm's still a little hurt. [Splinted and bandaged.]

But I'll be okay.

[pura]

... Okay. If you're on the road to recovery, that's a relief. [A little sigh.] Where did you go, Hyodo-san?

[9mon]

It was somewhere else inside the prism... It was like a gladiatorial arena and demons were there, wanting us to fight.

[pura]

... So, that's how you get injured? The demons, or yourselves?

[9mon]

We fought the other people in the arena.

[pura]

... You don't mean people like us, right?

[9mon]

...

[He looks away.]

[pura]

[H-Hm.]

They could have been creations of the Prism. Don't be ashamed for doing what you needed to survive.

[9mon]

[Maybe.

Maybe that's true.

But to fight like that, that viciously? That's going to stick with him.

And... ]

Hot Pants, Ryunosuke and Vin were real.

[pura]

... Yes, maybe. But they all came back to us, alive.

[9mon]

Yeah... We all came back.

[And that's the most important thing. (Isn't it nu.)]

[pura]

You did. So for all that happened, at least... there's that.

[right, nu??????]

[9mon]

[He gives a small nod, but he still looks uneasy.]
