(19.05.2026/Hospital)Tatsu sat tapping his food, egger to learn about his sister's condition. It was already sunrise and yet no word. Thanks to his fresh tattoo, staying up was no issue.
A doctor finally approached the high schooler, causing him to jump to his feet.
Tatsu: Doc! Tell me, is my sister okay? What happened to her?!
Doctor: Let me begin with that she's stable however she is still unconscious.
Tatsu: Wh-what happened to her?
Doctor: She used "Wonder" too much.
Tatsu: "Wonder"? The hell is that?
Doctor: A kid like you doesn't know? It's a new drug that's going around the streets...
Doctor: It a highly addictive drug. Causes immense stress relief, boosts dopamine production to near damaging amounts, amongst other things.
Doctor: However if used even slightly too much, it causes people to sweat blood...
Doctor: Too much, and the eyes could implode.
Tatsu: The hell? Why did my sister have something like that in her system?!
Doctor:...
Tatsu: Tch.
Grabbing the doctor by the scruff of their coat, pulling them close.
Tatsu: That look on your face implies that you think she's a junky!
Tatsu: For your own sake, I hope I'm misreading your fugly face expressions!
???: Alright, that's enough!
A man cuts in-between the two, shoving them apart. From head to toe, their attire and vibe screamed cop to Tatsu who momentarily reeled back his Yakuza act, only for it to come back in his glare.
???: I'm detective Date, Tokyo Metropolitan Police. May I have a word?
(Tokyo Metropolitan Police Detective; Makoto Date)
Date: I'll just take a moment. And might help your sister.Tatsu:(glares) Hmph. Fine.
Date: Great. Why don't we take this somewhere else? I'll get you something from a vending machine, my treat.
The two leave the area to defuse the tension. Date buys a sandwich for Tatsu who eats it and calms down.
With him no longer fuming, Date began to question the high schooler.
Date: Now I get you might not want to hear this, but the truth of the matter is your sister took "Wonder".
Date: Do you know where she could have possibly gotten her hands on it? Or even a sample of it left?
