Ch.68 [ Patient ]

(???)

A young woman with long purple hair and light purple eyes entered a small hospital. 

She wore a purple scarf with red and white details, as well as a white, black and purple outfit with black shorts. On her left arm is a red band tied together with a purple sleeve, and on her right a fingerless glove that goes up to her elbow. She also wears a pair of black and blue boots of different lengths.

As she looked around, her eyes laid on a middle-aged woman with bluish-gray hair. 

Looking at the nurse she walked over to her as she was changing bandages on an unconscious man. "How is he?" She asked calmly as the nurse finished the bandage. "Oh Seele? Didn't hear you coming." She smiled towards her as she turned to her. "Our friend here, didn't wake up since last week..." She sighed tired.

While Seele could see few small twitches of the blonde man's fingers. "Natasha... Look." Seele pointed at the fingers as she shook her head.

"It happened from time to time. Other than that, there few unstable twitches of such muscles like.

Deltoid, Trapezius, Pectoralis major-"

"Okay, okay. I don't understand." Seele stopped Natasha midway as she was starting the medicine talk.

The two then continued their day as Seele left the hospital.

Few hours later, closing to the evening on the clock. The young man started releasing small groans as he was left alone temporarily in the small hospital.

As his eyes slowly fluttered open, his purple eyes lightly glazed at the pure white ceiling.

.

Meanwhile, Natasha was in the same room. Sorting out medicine in the cabinets, as she heard some form of a groan.

Stopping, she focused on her hearing. Trying to find another sound...

"Ughh..." She heard another groan and closed the cabinet. Calmly walking around the room, soon her eyes laid on slouched figure of a young blonde man.

His gaze was unfocused, but his breathing was stable. His eyes were blank purple, as he just woke up... With nothing in his mind. "Someone's finally awake?" She spoke with a calm voice and kept a bit of distance, in case the patient would suddenly bolt in her direction.

As even if he was missing the whole left arm, she could tell from his muscles that his body was battle-forged. As she remembered how people from Guard looked after years of fighting against Fragmentum monsters.

His eyes slowly landed on her as from his mouth came out a language she didn't understand. "Well... this is going to be problematic." She calmly took out a stethoscope and slowly, with peaceful intention came closer. 'He's calm. And curious about his surrounding... he speaks but" She lightly took off his shirt, revealing a very ugly burn mark at area of where his left arm is supposed to be. With few cut-like scars on his torso, as his muscles twitched from time to time. As she moved it at the front, he stared at it curiously as she touched his chest with its cold bell, moving it through his chest slowly.

*Bump. Bump-bump.*

It continued resounding in her ears as she kept hearing his breathing and heartbeat. 'This isn't heartbeat that a Human can support? It's way too strong and too fast for that aspect.' She took off the stethoscope and put his shirt back on as he seemed to somewhat understand her. Probably.

"Now, let's test something. Please raise your hand above your head." She calmly spoke as they stared at each other. He tilted his head lightly, and after a moment he rose his right arm above his head.
