Gigi lays a hand on her lower belly where the stitches were. She's already forgotten what the doctors told her about the stab wound and what happened. All she really cared about was that she was fine and there were no complications. Her concussion was okay with all the sleep she had gotten as well. All that was left to do was heal. Tsukasa had healed pretty well too. His lungs were healing well as were his ribs and head. Gigi would be able to walk but Tsukasa was wheelchair bound so he didn't put any strain on his ribs. For now, both of them were still in the hospital for a few more days as the doctors wanted to keep them under observation. "Does it hurt?" Tsukasa asks her

They changed the oxygen mask that Tsukasa had on to nasal prongs or a nasal cannula. It's this clear tube that goes over your ears and under your nose with two prongs that go up your nose to deliver oxygen. The tube connects together under the chin and is attached to the oxygen tank.  Tsukasa's hair also isn't in its usual style but fallen in front of his forehead and a little messy. "It's kinda sore" Gigi tells him "otherwise it's fine... What about your ribs?"

Tsukasa is laid back in bed in a half sitting half laying down position with pillows on either side of him supporting his body. Broken ribs were no joke. "Not as bad as I thought it would be" Tsukasa says "kinda hate that I won't be able to move"

Gigi's stepdad was there when they awoke. Everyone else would be coming throughout the day so they did not overwhelm them. Her stepdad told her everything would be okay and that he would take care of things but Gigi stopped him before the man could call Ryu and possibly get Kōhei literally killed. She wanted to kill Kōhei herself. Her stepdad had to leave a while back for some kind of work but he assured Tsukasa that all the bills were paid for and he didn't have to worry. Gigi stared down at her bandaged hands, feeling an ache in her knuckles. Now that the adrenaline was long gone, everything feels sore. "I'm kinda surprised we're not dead" Tsukasa says with a laugh

"me too. The way everyone looked when you passed out and before the ambulance arrived made me think we were actually about to die... Fujio was crying a lot. Everyone was" Gigi tells him "it was kinda sad" then she paused remembering all the embarrassing things she said "I started reciting the whole storyline of Tokyo Revengers and told Todoroki to make sure you if you survive that you don't jump in front of a train and travel back 12 years"

Tsukasa starts to laugh then he groans. "ow Gigi don't make me laugh, my ribs hurt"

Gigi also laughs. "I did some pretty fucking embarrassing things now that I think about it" she tells him "man... how do I face Todoroki after I told him I had a crush on him?! What does he do with an expired crush?"

"you had a what on who?"

Gigi's mother is standing at the door holding a plastic bag. "oh, hey mom" Gigi says with a smile

Ume Miyama closes the door behind them, heels clicking with every step. "Tsukasa, I have had such a long conversation with your mother on the phone and I have decided to strangle her the next time I see her" Ume says and Gigi's jaw drops
