"(Y/N)!" Yasuho ran up to you and hugged you tightly as she cried. "That was awful! H-He was really trying to kill us!"

You soon felt your own eyes watering and turned toward the culprit. "Narancia? Why are you crying?"

He joined in on the hug, sniffling. "I really thought they were gonna die for a minute there..." It also felt a lot more stressful for him with you being so far away the majority of the fight.

You gave both of them a pat on the back. "Hey, it's over. That guy is definitely dead. He isn't coming back any time soon. You can afford to take a breather."

Though you weren't sure if Aisho's death had really been necessary. If he hadn't been distracted by the fake Jobin he was seeing, perhaps he'd actually have called off his Stand attack. Should you have intervened?

But no matter how you felt about it, the man was already dead. No use crying over spilt milk.

You looked at the pile of rubble and blood that had been left behind. The bus driver had scrambled out of their vehicle to see what they hit and was calling the police.

"We should get out of here." You took a step back from Yasuho, eyeing the various cuts on her and Tsurugi. "You guys need to get patched up, too. I think there's a hospital near here. We also have some medical supplies in the void room, right, Nara?"

"Uh... I'll go see what we have." Narancia briefly disappeared.

You picked up Tsurugi, carrying the injured child while you let Yasuho lean on you for support.

"These are mine, but..." Narancia sheepishly held out a box of bandaids that were patterned with the faces of different cartoon characters. "...I guess you can use them."

You could see that he had indeed used them on himself. "You do know that your wounds will heal if you just take the wristband out and put it back in, right?" Perhaps he had forgotten.

"Well, yeah, but... the band-aids look cool, don't they?" He pointed to one he put over his nose.

"Sure." You knew his nose hadn't even been injured, but who were you to deny him his joy.

Narancia used the bandaids on some of the injured folks' smaller cuts, but most of the wounds wouldn't be as easy. Of course, if you really needed to, you could always use your blood. Luckily, a hospital ended up being right around the corner.

The two of them were immediately taken in. Tsurugi's wounds were lighter, so he ended up being able to go home. You made plans to meet up again tomorrow after he was finished with school for the day. Yasuho wasn't as lucky, and was asked to stay the night in the hospital.

You took a seat on the chair in her room, staying alert just in case any new enemies showed up.

"She fell asleep pretty fast." Mused Narancia as he munched away on some chips he had taken from a vending machine out in the hall. "Guess she was worn out from the fight."

"I mean, it was her first real Stand battle. It's understandable."

"Yeah..." Narancia leaned back against the air, crumpled up the empty bag, and then tossed it into the trash can on the other side of the room. "Score!" He did a summersault in the air as celebration and continued drifting around the room.

You let out a small laugh. "You did a good job today, Narancia."

A toothy grin spread across his face. "Thanks! Oh!" He reached out his arms toward you. "Can I use your phone for a sec?"
