A week after the Yotsuba Facility incident

Task Force Base

7:50 AM

Kazuto/Asuna's room

3rd person POV

Inside of a bedroom. Asuna was all by herself as she just finished taking her morning shower.

She had one towel wrapped on her head and the other on her body as she just left the bathroom on her way out.

As she was ready to change at this very moment.

She heard a knocking on the door along with a female voice.

Asuna: Who is it?

Miyuki: It's me, Asuna-san.

It was Shiba Miyuki on the front door of the room.

Asuna: Hold on a sec.

Asuna while still wearing towels immediately went to the door as she opened it to immediately greet her.

Asuna: Ohh, hey Miyuki-chan.

Miyuki: Hello, ohh...I apologize, did you just get out the shower or something? 

Asuna: It's okay. At least you're not a boy. Come inside.

It didn't take long for Miyuki to settle in a bit as Asuna was changing.

Asuna: Are your injuries healing up?

Miyuki: Surprisingly quick. Thank you for taking care of me by the way. 

Asuna: It's nothing really. We did what we usually do for a friend after all.

Miyuki: Hmm?

Asuna: What's wrong?

Miyuki: Umm, why do you have like small stitches on your shoulder there?

Asuna: Hmm?

While Asuna was about to put on her shirt. She looked at the stitches she had on her left shoulder.

Asuna: Ohh this? Well, let's just say I got shot by a bullet a while back.

Miyuki: Really!? Were you okay!? What happened!?

Asuna: Well, this one happened during one of the missions. I think I had like a bullet stuck there while we were dealing with the Crimson Shinigami.

Miyuki: Crimson what-

Asuna: We'll discuss that later on. I wasn't the only one who got shot here. In fact, some of us, even Kazuto-kun got shot and we had to remove said bullet on our shoulders, which is where the stitches came from. (Besides, I did recall that these bullets had tracking devices on them according to Daigo, so we had to immediately remove them prior to the next mission. Luckily, we actually managed to ask Doctor Nakano to help us with removing the bullets so the ones who have the bullets on their shoulders like Light-kun and Kazuto-kun for example, managed to get them out.)

Miyuki: I see.

Asuna: The bullet that hit me there didn't really hurt much. It felt more like a doctor's needle puncturing through the skin than anything else.

Miyuki: Well, I am glad that you are doing okay...in spite what's been going on in this country right now.

Asuna: Yeah, it has been a rough two years for most of us here. Honestly, it was really a difficult time for everyone. I'm still not sure what the rest of my former classmates are doing now. 

Miyuki: You mean there are others that haven't been accounted for?

Asuna: That's right...other than Lelouch-kun and Suzaku-kun from what I've heard from Ryuzaki-kun since he said that they're on vacation.
