Shaky breaths and nothing more.

"Miss Mikami?"

The doctor peered back at Sena, awaiting a response. She held a steady breath, "So... She's not dead?"

"She's comatose." The doctor started gently. "After resuscitating her in the ambulance, we performed a craniotomy and put her on oxygen therapy to get the Carbon Monoxide out of her system." He placed an empathetic palm on her shoulder, his pinkie brushing her mechanical neck brace that held her quirk hostage. "Another minute in that house, your mother would be dead. She's very lucky."

Lucky isn't the word, She thought, shrugging his hand off of her. "When will she wake up?"

The doctor hesitated. "We'll keep her for observation. In five days, we'll be able to tell whether her condition will improve. The Carbon Monoxide alone will have caused severe brain damage, not to mention the blow to the head. If she does wake up-"

"-When." Sena corrected sharply, a sneer peaking upon her mouth.

"Right, apologies. When she does wake up, it's more than likely your mother won't be the same as before. Common impairments are loss of cognitive functioning, speech, memory, or concentration-"

"-She'll be a vegetable."

Sena's blank eyes watched her mother's chest rise and fall steadily under the cotton blanket. Countless snake-like tubes pumping or sucking various liquids punctured her veins and chest. The oxygen mask fogged up every five seconds as the ventilator inflated her lungs. A machine was keeping her alive, not her will.

It killed Sena every second.

"In layman's terms, yes." The doctor admitted, shaking his head woefully as if he actually cared. "She's as good as dead."

Sena whipped around. "What the fuck did you just say?"

His eyes widened. "What? Oh, the uh, laymen's terms? Meaning common wording-"

"-No, you fuckin' pig. The other thing." Sena stomped up, so her angry exhales hit his chin as she glared up at him.

He reeled back, eyes darting to the door. "W-What other thing?"

His words spoke of ignorance, but to Sena, the look in his eyes was menacing and calculated. An echo of a chuckle, one that spiked chills on Sena's neck. "Liar. Liar. Liar!"

Sena stepped back, returning to the bedside. "... Just get the fuck out."

"Right then." The doctor gave a quick bow and hurried to the door.

Her eyes followed him to the door with slim windows into the hallway beside it, where Tsukauchi, Kanzo, Shuichi, and Kodaka huddled. "Are you gonna tell them?" She called just before he stepped out.

The doctor turned back to her, words shaking in his mouth. "I'm sorry, Miss Mikami. You may currently speak for your mother, but the police currently speak for you." He turned and walked out the door, leaving her alone with her mother.
