Today was painful.

As soon as I woke up the doctors had to examine my brain with some weird technology.

Saying I will be informed about the results later that day the doctor leaves my room together with nurse Katsuragi.

"Miss Katsuragi?" I ask making the young nurse stop before she can walk out and close the door.

She slowly turns around smiling; "What is it Kaworu? Wait may I even call you that? Would you prefer Mr. Nagisa?"

I give her a soft smile: "Kaworu is fine thank you. I wanted to know if I will be getting my pills today?"

She laughs softly and makes her way out of the room.

"No you don't need them anymore but you will get your food soon."

What a pity. I really like those pills.

A few minutes later the nurse comes in with a little cart driving food on it.

Beneath the white tablecloth covering  the cart I can see pills and all kinds of medication.

This must be this medicine cart.

As the nurse looks out the window I quickly take a box of medicine and hide it under my bed sheets.

After Katsuragi opens the blinds she takes the food from the cart and puts it on the table next to me.

I thank her and watch her leave the room.

I take the plate with mashed potatoes and start eating it while reading out the description on the box of pills I took from the cart.

Painkillers.

I don't know what she gave me yesterday but I hope these are as good.

After finishing my food I take the glass of water next to my bed and take one pill from the box.

Wait... why am I doing this?

Ah I really shouldn't take pills that aren't meant for me.

On the other hand... my whole body hurts and I could really use some help.

What am I trying to prove myself?

It doesn't even hurt that much...

I think and eventually take one of the many pills from the box.

As I swallow it a feeling of satisfaction fills my body.

When it knocks on the door I look over to find Shinji.

"Hey my love."

I smile and wait for my boyfriend to come over and hug me.

"I missed you. I got you some notes since I know you don't like missing school."

School?

Oh that's right...

I go to school.

I give my partner a soft smile and thank him.

He comes closer to me and holds out a bouquet of dry roses.

"I wanted to give you those on friday but I forgot them at home and I really wanted you to have them."

His shy smile never fails to brighten up my day.

"You're the best." I whisper and put the flowers in a vase Katsuragi put on my table in case I get visitors.

"When are your parents going to visit you?"
