It was late at night, around 1 in the morning in the wellness room, Mikey and Takemichi were asleep on the huge bed after the long day, or should it be said that Takemichi was sleeping, not so much for Mikey. He couldn't sleep. He didn't know if his insomnia was coming back, or if he was sleeping a lot before. He kept staring at the ceiling, then took glances at Takemichi who was sleeping far in the bed peacefully. He felt, nervous. An uncomfortable feeling for some reason. He wanted to reach out his hand to Takemichi and touch his face, but he refrained.

' Me and Takemichi are getting close again. It felt so long since our friendship. Can we really push aside everything I have done? And act like everything is ok?' Mikey continued to be in his thoughts until he felt his body getting sore from the pain relievers wearing off. The pain intensified every second. ' This is definitely gonna keep me up all night.' He saw the table of medicine and tea, but it was so far, it kept going farther and farther the more he stared. He looked at Takemichi changing his sleep position. ' I shouldn't wake him up, I'll just endure it.'

An hour later and it was painful. Mikey felt like his whole body was beating. He was trying not to groan from the pain but just squeezed the pillows and hid his face in the covers. He would bite his lip but put too much pressure and it busted. " Dammit," He whispered. He heard and saw Takemichi flip his body to face Mikey, but he was awake. " You ok, Mikey?" Takemichi's voice was raspy and low. "I'm fine Takemichi. You can go back to sleep." Mikey's voice was hoarse.

" Your voice sounds like you're in pain." Takemichi sat up slowly and tiredly. " No need, I'm fine. I'm just tired—" Takemichi pulled down the sheet to see Mikey's busted lip. He also saw the squished pillows that had been squeezed. Takemichi didn't say anything, he just stared softly at Mikey. " I... I didn't want to wake you or the others. " Mikey confessed. Takemichi remained quiet and got up to the table. Mikey watched him fill a cup with tea and some pills in his hand.

Coming back to the bed and sat beside Mikey. " Drink it," Takemichi said softly. Mikey painfully sat up and took the pills, putting them in his mouth, and washing them down with the tea. " Thank you." Mikey thanked. " Mmm," Takemichi responded, putting the cup on a nearby table. He climbed back on the bed, but closer to Mikey. " How long have you been up?" Takemichi asked. " What do you mean?" Mikey asked, lying.

" You haven't slept one bit. I'm a light sleeper, I heard you shuffling all night. Whats the problem?"  Mikey was hesitant, and Takemichi kept staring for an answer. " This just feels weird. That's it." Mikey answered. " What feels weird?" Takemichi questioned.

" I mean... I... I did a lot to you because I was too stupid to listen to the truth those years ago. You were homeless, beaten to 'death', but discovered that you were alive and became a secret agent with technology inside of your body... Then having to deal with me and the others, manipulated and lied to again to where I almost killed you. But... I faced Karma for what I did, and I feel like I deserve the pain right now, because I can't even fathom what you went through. Now you claim to forgive me, and were both being treated with care and sleeping on this huge bed, acting like nothing happened."

Takemichi was quiet and listened to Mikey's words. " So, yeah... this feels weird. Forgiveness feels nice at first, but pushing back the past is difficult." Mikey finished. He was looking at Takemichi for a response, but he looked neutral, like he was but wasn't listening. " So you're saying that I should have killed you in that boxing cage the night we fought?" Takemichi assumed emotionless.
