Nana : thank you.
Izuya : no need. You'll be in my squad. In case he goes crazy again. Anton is smart and capable. Just... A bit crazy when it comes to Alina .
Nana : I see. To thank you ... I could heal that big scar on your arm.
Izuya : you saw it ?
Nana : under your sleeve. When I was behind you. Spreaded a bit to your hand. These are like parasites. The burn scar will keep spreading till your entire body. Now it doesn't hurt much yet. But it will in future. It eats flesh.
Izuya: you sound like you know a lot.
Nana : apothecary.
Izuya laughs a little " you know, they usually call themselves healers. You do other stuff than heal ?"
Nana ; no no. I mean... I could. But no.
Izuya : ok. I'll let you heal me.

Nana : hi... So. I'll be pulling your scar out with the help of some chemicals. Will be very painful. So we'll do these in sessions.
Izuya : can't we do these under anesthesia.
Nana : you will have to knock out. For no pain to be felt. But you're a Colonel. This is war... They might need you.
Izuya ; true.
Nana : even after all the lessen pain drugs I can give you, still will hurt much. So... Are you ready ?
" Let's do it. " Izuya pulls up his sleeve and shows the big burn scar on his left arm that spreads a little to his hand " I guess it did spread."
And she starts the procedure by using a scalpel and a tweezer.

The session of treatments had taken three months. And everytime she came, he prepared tea and cakes for her. He knew she liked them. Sweet things and tea.
Nana ; and finally... Done !
Izuya : thanks.
Nana starts eating the cake " should have taken a week. But you're always so busy."
Izuya : no choice. Is the cake nice ?
Nana sips the tea " um ! I didn't know you liked these things too. I thought these were... Girly things."
Izuya ; what ? A colonel can't have sweet things ?
Nana : no... You just always... Seem so cold and cool. Like a black coffee kind of guy.
Izuya laughed a little " that's mean. You've been treating me so long, and you still think I'm a black coffee guy ?"
Nana ; ... So ... You don't like coffee at all ?
Izuya ; no. I like. But I like tea more. But for nana, only tea right ?
Nana ; how did you know ?
Izuya ; you look like that type.
Nana had finished by now " I see... then. I'm going back."
Izuya : wait.
Nana : hm ?
Izuya : I want to thank you for helping me. Free for dinner tonight ?
" no need. No need. I wanted to thank you for rescuing me from crazy Anton. Then I'm going." She picks up her equipment.
Izuya : Nana !
" Huh ?" She looked at him as she stood up already and stopped leaving.
Izuya ; say yes. It's an order !
Nana: oh... Ok. Yes . *Blushes*

Izuya wears a proper suit and was happy with what he was wearing in front of the mirror.
Then he turned to leave... But stopped. He turned back around to look at the black mask on the table.
He picks it up... Looks at it... And wears it. He looks himself at the mirror again.
Damn it. When can I take this off ? I want to show myself to Nanalise.
She don't remember me.
But... I want her to know about me so bad.

Then they have a dinner together at one of the restaurants.
Nana: oh. You're going to wear that through the whole dinner ?
Izuya : erm... I do want to show you my face. But... It's inconvenient for me. Sorry. I'll watch you eat for today.
Nana : oh... Ok.
Izuya : nana. How's being here so far ?
Nana : ok... I guess. I'm the head of the infirmary now.
Izuya ; I know.
Nana : right... You're the colonel.
Izuya : if I ever get sick again , I can call you ?
Nana : of course !!
Izuya ; because... You know my body best ?
Nana blushed " what are you... Talking about..."
Izuya : so cute. I really like you. Nana. One day, I really hope to be able to show you my face. But... Not now... You're... Maybe not ready for it yet.
Nana : oh... You... Have a bad scar after all ?
Izuya : no. It's hard to explain. I'll explain everything to you one day.
Nana : ok...
