─────────────────────────────────────────

You woke up in a hospital bed, after recalling all of the events that happened you instantly jolt up. A sharp pain hit your stomach, feeling like its been ripped out over and over again causing you to let out a groan laying back down.

Only a second later you realised that Scaramouche has been peacefully sleeping, resting his head on the bed side until you woke him up.

"Y/n, your okay!" He was about to hug you, but when he saw you were in pain and restrained himself. "Are you alright?" His smile was filled with relief and it warmed your heart to know he cared about you so much.

"Well other than the whole being stabbed part I'm pretty much okay." You winced, talking hurt you. A lot. "So... What happened to Xiao?" You really hoped he was okay, it wasn't his fault, it really wasn't.

Scaramouche looked at you, annoyed that you were so concerned about him in your state. After all, he was the reason why you were hurting so much. "He's.." Scaramouche sighed.

"He's in jail."

"What!-" You cut yourself off, crying out from all of the pain that hit you.

"Don't strain yourself, relax or else I won't tell you anymore." he threatened.

"It's fine, I'm fine, just please continue." You panted.

"He's going to be trialled soon, that's when we find out how many years he's going to be put in prison." Scaramouche looked actually slightly upset which came as a surprise to you.

"But it was all a misunderstanding, he didn't mean to!" You knew he didn't, Scaramouche knew that too.

"But he was going to kill whoever hurt Ganyu, it was inevitable, Xiao was going to be put in prison sooner or later." Scaramouche crossed his arms.

The sad thing was, he was absolutely right. That's exactly the way Xiao was brought up. Kill or be killed. You couldn't possible change that mentality, it was engraved within him ever since that day.

"Something still doesn't add up." You commented. "Why would Xiao specifically try to target you?"

"I'm still not sure myself." Scaramouche looked down." I hope you don't think of me too differently after what he said..." He was absolutely dreading the possibility of losing you, the possibility of you being scared of him. And worst of all, the possibility of you hating him.

"No. I don't see you any differently." You replied with a weak smile. "I know you wouldn't do something like that without a valid reason." You pinched his cheeks causing him to shuffle away from you.  

You cleared you throat. "Aside that, I feel like someone is behind all of this. But I just can't put my finger over it."

"Albedo..." Scaramouche thought aloud. "Albedo, he was the last person to see Xiao before he started acting differently."

"That is true, but it's not safe to make assumptions about him too early. It's best to talk to the victim first." You stated.

You tried to get up, but slumped back down in pain.
