I cought violently jumping from my bed. My eyes were blindfolded with bandages. My lungs weren't feeling nice and the back of my throat itched. Every part of my body tingled in a bad way. I wanted to scratch myself all around and probably peel off the skin while doing it. I could hear Bolt's barking and someone holding my shoulder.

-Where am I right now! I shouted in fear and I wanted it to be over.

-Aussie, it's me, America. You'll be alright. The fire calmed down and the smokes stopped coming out of your throat.

-Take the bandages off! I shook my body in uncomfort and kicked around.

-Aus, keep it down please... Canada whispered quietly next to my ear and hold my hand.

-Where's NZ? I asked calming myself down slowly, placing my head back down on the pillow.

-Here! He called out and hold my cheeks and pulled me up gently and rest his forehead on mine.

-What's happening? I asked so quietly that I could barely hear myself.

-Blood came out of your eyes. Doctors bandaged you up...

-I just want it to be over... I sobbed and he nodded and I could feel him smile of pity.

-I know, me too... A tear dropped onto my cheek.

Ame and Canada were still holding my hand tightly and rubbing it gently in a nice way. Me and NZ both sobbed quietly together as if we were the only ones here. I didn't want anything to get pass us, possibly not even Japan, which is really weird and stupid since I looked up to her the most recently. But being connected back with your only blood related brother was like an amazing shock that I've been missing for years. It symbolized our love and toughness. I can and will take all of this pain to keep him as the older brother, but at the same time, I need his help sometimes. Like right now.

I've never knew I craved his touch for such a long time that I let go of my brothers hands and places them on NZ cheeks to make sure he doesn't move. My eyes stung like hell but I know that I had to fight it and it was probably almost the end. I needed to survive like how I survived from Father with his hatred towards us. I never wanted it to end, the event happening between me and NZ... But atlas, good things always ends eventually.

A knock was at the door and either Ame or Canada went to open it, or maybe both. But it was Ame because his voice was further and I could feel a presence next to me. Heels clacking on the floor while coming closer to me. It was either mom or Japan.

-Who's there? I asked while not moving an inch.

-Japan. The voice declared and it surprised me to peel myself away from NZ to face it.

My mouth was open a bit. A small hand was placed on my shoulder so I knew it was Japan's. I instantly closed my mouth and fell for the comfort. I heard NZ cleared his throat which brought me back to reality.

-Oh right! NZ, this is Japan, Japan, this is New Zealand, or NZ. I introduced them and both of them chuckled.

-I know already, Aussie. Japan answered while laughing a bit more.

-Huh?

-I introduced myself when I wanted to visit you. We accidentally bumped into each other so that's how I met your friend. NZ explained and I ohed quietly.

-Now I just look stupid. I declared and both of them chuckled. Say, when can I take this bandages off?

-Wherever you feel like your eyes stopped stinging. I was talking to Switzerland and he told me that you should put it back on when you feel it stinging again.

It became quiet. I didn't know what to do. My eyes stop stinging, is everyone waiting for me to take it off? I reached on my face and started to undo the bandages. I kept my eyes closed.

The cold air hitting my face felt so good and relief. I could feel everyone staring at me intensely. I opened my eyes slowly and took a second to get used to the lighting in the room. The first thing I saw was the red eyes and blue face of NZ staring at me. His eyes widened and backed up a bit. Japan took his spot to observe and had the same reflexion response as NZ.

-What? I asked them and caught Ame's and Canada's attention.

I looked at them and they as well were surprised. After a long pause, Ame broke it.

-Your eyes!

-What? What's wrong with them?

-Your left eye is red and the other one is normal! Canada answered with a big shock, not expecting it.

-What?!

My heart rate went up which caught Bolt's reaction to nudging his snout on my wrist that had the watch. I petted his snout to make him stop and observed all four figures in the room.

-Is... Is it that bad? I asked and looked away.

-No! Of course not! It looks cool! Japan was the first to react and all the others nodded. We didn't expected it because Switz didn't mention none of this.

-Because I wasn't expecting it at all. Switz voice caught all of us off guard.

He stood inside my room at the entrance of the door. He had his coat and his glasses holding his front hair away from his face. He walked towards me, observing me and the monitor. When he stood next to me, he took out a small flashlight and shined it to my left eye.

-Does it sting right now? What I'm doing right now?

-No. I feel nothing.

-Hmm... Did it sting you when blood was coming out from your eyes?

-Yes.

-That's a miracle.

-What? I asked and he and me made eye contact.

-Did you forget? You shouldn't feel physical pain... It's normally kaput. But if you could feel that... Then you can feel some pain. If I have to guess, the pain that you received from someone, you won't feel it. But headaches or stuff like that will make you feel pain.

-And why is that good?

-It's really good because that means you can feel when your sick and can have some medicines.

-Oh, cool I guess.

I looked away when I knew Switz was looking at me confused.

-Can I go now? I asked still looking away.

-... Of course.

{Author's note}
I'm so sorry that it's late. My mind state is really bs right now because guess who started to cry in the middle of the night because of trauma again? This mf. I'm trying to limit myself from the internet and stuff because my mom keeps finding me on the floor sleeping, because I keep waking up in the middle of the night crying my ass off... Yay...
