The clock kept making a sound, kept ticking as seconds pass. In the room, Tanjiro was sitting on a chair, waiting for any announcements. He looks over to his sister that was lying on the bed with a bandage wrapped around her head, unconscious. He then looks to the clock to check the time. - It's 9:11 am. - He whispered to his thoughts. It didn't matter anyway on why he should look at the time. He missed a subject already, and he wouldn't even care a bit about it. Currently, he should be worried about his sister's condition instead of his subjects. His thoughts got intruded when the doorknob started clicking, the door opened showing the presence of the school nurse.

"How's my sister?" Tanjiro asked bluntly slightly raising from his seat. The school nurse looked at him and faintly smiled at the concern of the brother to his sister. Her smile then faded as she makes an announcement.   "I wouldn't call your sister's condition worse or good." She said as she goes near Nezuko's bed. Tanjiro just looks at her puzzled and worried. "She had a concussion, she hit her head too harshly. " The nurse said as she examined Nezuko's head that was wrapped in a bandage. "Would you explain what happened?" She looked at him curiously.

Tanjiro stared at the ground to recall what happened. The scene flashed to his mind, he remembered Nezuko bumped into a random girl, causing his sister to fall... - She might've hit her head when she fell to the ground when she collided with that girl. - He then looked back to the nurse, "She fell to the ground... And hit her head." He mumbled, but the words were clear and loud enough for the nurse to hear. The nurse nodded as she continues to examine Nezuko's head. "I think if it's best if she goes to the hospital." The nurse suggested as she continues to gaze over Nezuko. Tanjiro looked to the nurse, "What? So it's serious?"

"I am not sure, but seeking a doctor for help would be better to get more information about your sister's condition." Tanjiro then glanced at his sister. His concern went up very high by that announcement the nurse said. "May I ask where your parents are? They should know this." The nurse kindly asked. Tanjiro ran out of words to answer, he doesn't know how to respond to that question. "Well, Our parents–

"I'm here."

Tanjiro and the nurse looked over to the person who owned that voice, it was a man that looked old, standing at the door. "I'm their parent." The man responded as he walks near to them. Tanjiro faintly smiled as he saw their guardian. "Sir Urokodaki..." Urokodaki walks towards them until he's in front of Tanjiro, "What happened?" He said with a visible concern in his voice. Tanjiro frowned, "She hit her head on the ground." Tanjiro muttered as he looks at his sister. Urokodaki stares at Nezuko, with a concern spread on his face.

"Have you alert your teachers that you'll be missing subjects today?" Urokodaki asked bluntly as he faces Tanjiro. "No, not yet." He answers as he stands up. "Go inform them, including your sister's class as well. I'll stay here." Urokodaki said as he looks at Tanjiro who nodded and walked out of the room.

10:06 am.

Tanjiro was seen walking in an empty hallway, which came from the teachers' lounge. Just now, he finished informing the teachers about the situation. Luckily, he wouldn't have to worry about his subjects, since he's already considered absent at this point. He walks through the hallway as the bright sunlight hits his body, that was coming from the windows. He felt the heat come to his skin as he crosses over the sunlight ray, and went further into the hallway as the sunlight fades away from his body.

A message notification was heard in his pocket, he stopped his tracks in the middle of the hallway as he opened his pocket and grabbed his phone. The message popped up and it seems that It was from Urokodaki.

_______________________________

Sir Urokodaki.

|Nezuko will be staying here
for while.

|Once she's conscious, we'll go to the hospital if there are more problems.

|You can go home, your adviser said it's alright. You'll just go to class
tomorrow.

Tanjiro left it on read and closed his phone.

Gladly, he would go home to get some rest. He puts his phone to his pocket then walked furthermore to the hallway to find the exit.

___

Currently, he's laying on his bed in his bedroom. He scrolls to his phone to his messages, waiting for any texts to be seen. Mostly waiting for sir Urokodaki's messages. He looked at the time, - 2:30 pm - He waited for too long. He made a rough sigh and puts his phone down. He stares into the ceiling as time passes by. Suddenly, his phone had a message again. He grabbed it and checked it out.

____________________________

Sir Urokodaki

|Your sister just woke up. She's at the hospital now.

____________________________

Tanjiro raised from his bed. He wanted to visit her sister in the hospital. When he was about to type, another message popped up.

____________________________

Sir Urokodaki

|They'll be checking her head, but don't come here, I'll tell you more details once I come back home.

____________________________

Tanjiro stopped his tracks and lied back to his bed. He was disappointed couldn't visit, he wanted to complain but he decided not to. After all, he has school tomorrow. He'll just rest and study in advance to prepare for his day tomorrow.
