Reader's P.O.V.

When I woke up, blurs were hovering over me. I held my breath as I buried myself into the mattress below me. I blinked about for a while, trying to adjust my blurred eyesight.

"Is she alive?" I heard the worried whispers of one.

"Of course. You were there. She's barely opening her eyes, but she might knock out again. Who knows at this point?"

Where was I? Why was I so tired? My eyelids shut as I accepted the weight of sleep take over. I'd ask questions later. As for now, I really just wanted to sleep.

Len's P.O.V.

"I keep asking myself the same question: who the fuck did this?!" I shouted as I paced across the room, "They injured one of my best members and a bystander!"

I was holed up in my office, ranting into thin air as Gumi watched me. As much as she always held up a cool and confident face, the facade fell into bewilderment and worry. However much she wanted to say, she fell short and stayed silent.

"Gumi, it's been days. What do you think their families are thinking? A few of us haven't been to school or gone to work for a while either. They might send out search parties!"

"Now's not the time to think about that, Len. We have to take [_____] and Gakupo to a hospital soon. Miki can't really do much, as good as she is. Taking IVs and other medical supplies from our contacts is gonna make us owe them big time." she assertively stated.

"Don't you think I know that?! I can't risk this right now: it'll expose the members of our gang and if it came out, we'd all be dead. You don't think other gangs want our blood? The territories?" I banged my hands down on my desk, my anger tearing apart every seam of my being. My door opened and Miku stood at the doorway with tears in her eyes.

"[_____] kinda woke up again." Miku reported. Her voice was hushed from her crying.

"Really?" Gumi asked hopefully.

"Yes, but..." Miku hesitated to continue, wiping her eyes.

"Spill it, please!" I growled. She fiddled with the hem of her sweater as she bit back the tears.

"She doesn't remember us!" Miku shouted.

Both Gumi and I were taken aback, but my heart shattered. Without a word, I bolted straight to Miki's room, where Miki and Teto were taking care of [_____].

Teto's P.O.V.

I pressed the damp cloth against an unconscious [_____]'s forehead. She'd been knocked out for days, coming in and out rarely. Rin came in earlier asking for an update with tears in her voice. It was rough for me too. I was unsure if this kid was even gonna make it, so I had to hold back tears in front of Rin.

"She's doing fine." I said with a sad smile. Rin hesitantly nodded then left, feeling useless... we were all feeling useless. Miki and I sighed, heavy hearts pinning us down.

"How's Gakupo doing over there?" I finally asked, breaking the silence that lay so heavily upon us.

"He's doing much better. He woke up yesterday and insisted on finding the Eros to murder them all, but, his ribs are shattered, so I keep having to tell him he shouldn't move much. That could take up to two months to heal, but with our "expertise" I can't really give an estimate."

I nodded, wondering why he insisted on taking out the Eros. Were they really responsible for this attack or was Gakupo on just too many painkillers to recognize what he was saying?

When [_____] ran out the other day, Gakupo ran after her because it was so easy to get lost in this forest and Len was caught up with Neru in a big fight that resulted in a breakup.
