(Kiyoshi is sitting by a window, looking outside. A TV is on near him.)
Coral: It's been almost a week since the mysterious wave was seen shooting across the sky. Will we ever know what it could've meant?
Brooke: Aliens. It has to be aliens. Or maybe magic!
Coral: *sigh* I guess we'll never know. (Kiyoshi glances over at the TV, where Coral and Brooke are on-air.)
Brooke: No, wait, maybe it was a glimpse at a parallel universe!
Coral: Really Brooke? These are some strange theories you've got.
Kiyoshi: *snicker* Well, this is one way to keep things classified. (He laughs to himself.)
Coral: A~anyway... in other news, the Squid Sister duo- Callie and Marie- are still hospitalized after reports of a fire. Though their conditions are stable, we can only hope that they'll truly be okay. (Coral looks a bit more concerned.)
(Coral and Brooke are silent.)
Coral: Do you... really think that they'll be okay?
Brooke: I hope so, Beanie. I really miss them, too. (They talk.)
Sound effect: click! (A button is pressed on the side of the TV with Kiyoshi's power, turning the TV off.)
Kiyoshi: *sigh* (He looks to the side, over at Callie, who's still unconscious in a hospital room. She has some burns and treated wounds. To the side, there are three heart monitors, one for each heart.)
Callie: Mh... Hnnnnnn... (She starts to wake up.)
(Kiyoshi looks a little surprised and gets up.)
Callie: Oooh... (Kiyoshi stands beside her and puts a hand under her head as she scrunches up in pain.)
Kiyoshi: Hey-y Callie... come on, you gotta wake up. (Callie starts to move.)
Sound effect: *blink blink* (She opens her eyes.)
Kiyoshi: Hey, you've been out for a while. How are you feeling? (He sits by her.)
Callie: K-Kiyoshi?
Kiyoshi: Yep, I'm here.
Callie: Wha- what? Why am I- h-huh?
Kiyoshi: Do you remember what happened? (She looks around, confused.)
Callie: Uh... we were in [Unknown], there was a fire, and- and... (She rubs her head.)
Callie: * (Everything seems to snap together.)
Callie: MARIE! Where's Marie?! (She shoots up, startling Kiyoshi.)
Callie: Oh, owww... (She winces in pain and clutches at herself.)
Kiyoshi: Here, careful. Take it easy. You need to stay down. (He helps her back down.)
Callie: Where's Marie?
Kiyoshi: Don't worry, she's fine. (Callie glances worriedly at him.)
Kiyoshi: Your injuries were a bit worse, so you needed some extra help. Marie woke up yesterday, and she's been asking about you. She's okay. And your grandfather is with her right now.
Callie: Y-yesterday? How long was I out?
Kiyoshi: Almost a week. (They talk.)
Callie: A week? Wow. (She's a bit surprised.)
(They both stay silent.)
Kiyoshi: Oh, hey. I've got to tell you something. About Kiku.
Callie: Huh? What about her? (Kiyoshi scratches the back of his neck.)
