"THANK YOU, SHINICHIRO!!" Mikey exclaimed, staring at the box with stars in his eyes.
Shinichiro grinned at his siblings happiness. "Build that on your own, okay? I won't be helping you! Maybe..."
A month later Shinichiro then got a call from his grandpa that Mikey had fallen and roughly hit his head.
●☩▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁☩●
Shinichiro stared in shock, as he watched his brothers unconscious state.
Baji, Y/n, Sanzu, and Senju were all tearful at their friends incapacitation.
Mikey's grandfather was trying his best not to cry, visibly worried for the young boy.
"What actually happened...?" Shinichiro spoke, his eyes wide and fearful.
"...W-We were playing with Mikey's Concorde plastic model." Baji trembled.
Shin's eyes dilated.
"Mikey said 'I won't lend it to you guys! It took me a whole month to build this precious thing!'" Haruchiyo recalled, as Shinichiro remembered when he told Mikey to make it himself. "As he said 'I am the supersonic Concorde!'....He...."
"He fled to the second floor. That's when he tripped and fell down the stairs..." Y/n continued Sanzu's sentence which he was unable to finish. Y/n didn't take their eyes off Mikey's body, even when talking.
"And then I heard a huge thud..." Y/n trembled.
Baji gritted his teeth, "Mikey-...Mikey then stopped moving!!"

"A vegetative state?" Shinichiro repeated what the doctor told him.
The doctor nodded, "Yes...His hypothalamus and brain stem are functioning well..."
"But his cerebrum is not functioning at all."
The doctor then looked back towards Shinichiro and his grandpa. "Therefore, like plants, he has lost his awareness. Yet his body is still alive."
