A cold, delicate hand grabs yours and pulls. It pulls, and it pulls... there's a sense of urgency in this icy grasp, as well as a trace of reluctance. Abruptly the hand let's go, right as your vision fades to black, and for a brief moment, only a brief moment, your senses disappear. There's only the eerie sensation of weightlessness before your feet are settled back on solid ground again.

[ NO IT HURTS TO CRY AND I'M CRYING MORE BECAUSE IT HURTS ]

[ eventually just kind of running out of crying stamina though

s-sniffles ]

There's a pause.

And eventually the nurse is petting your hair.

[ just lies there ._ ]

"Naoto. Naoto, please speak. Do something. I am studying you, this is not helping."

[ NO I GIVE UP I'M DONE ]

...

The nurse sighs.

"I need to go. Take care."

And she darts out the door.

[ ev... eventually sort of trying to crawl out of bed

can I stand up

can I stand up??? ]

I don't know, can you? (You probably can, yes.)

Zwei's voice chimes in.

"Excuse me~ I come bearing a gift."

A dark hand springs from the shadows, holding... another hand. A bloody one.

[ .......................

]

You can BSOD in silence.

[ takes

the hand ]

you're welcome

Eventually Nurse Echo will return, but you can have a moment to yourself before she does. You might need it.

[ yep just

staring at this hand

like, what is this thing i'm holding, why is it here ]

That sure is a hand.

[ That's not a hand. That can't possibly be a hand. Why on earth would he be holding a severed hand. Clearly he's not holding a severed hand. Kanzaki Naoto is not holding a severed hand, the thing he's holding is just ____________________________ someone else must be holding a severed hand this must be a bad dream this must be a horrible memory none of this is happening ]

Echo's happiness bear squirms. Why am I in your pocket, bro.

"N... Naoto! Naoto!!"

[ fzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzt ]

[ he could probably wiggle out of the pocket. it's not buttoned shut or anything. ]

Yes, in fact, Janta will do that. And roll around you. It looks silly, but it sounds like it's going to cry.

"Naoto! Please say something. I don't want to see you like this!"

[ makes... a vague noise, still staring at the hand. yeah I hear you little bear but I am very busy. ]

Janta continues rolling and whining.

Within that same moment, Nurse Echo returns with a familiar person on her gurney.

[ — immediately looks up, over, zeroing in on That Familiar Person, staring blankly at first but then focusing. That's Sion? That's Sion? My Sion?? ]

[It sure is. He was about to fuss (in kind of bloodloss daze) at nurse Echo but then apparently there is a Naoto here. Distracted. And trying to sit up which is hard when you're missing a hand and the other is mangled.]

Naoto...

S—

[ fuck it, coming over and immediately (g...gently... just in case he's hurt really bad...) clinging to Sion's shirt, making noises that are half distress and half relief, and... and still holding that hand, I guess... we're kind of a mess baby ]

[I guess on the practical side it's a good thing my uniform is mostly black. He lifts his hand, the one still attached, and just wraps his arm around Naoto. Not using the hand much though just the arm. But Naoto is here in his arms and relatively safe and missing and eye. Which is not okay but Naoto is here so that can wait maybe five seconds for the rush of relief.]

[ mine is mostly white but who cares. just pressing his face into Sion's chest and SOBBING ON HIM ]

Sion, Sion, Sion—
