Sawako woke up to the sound of metal hitting metal. Kotoro had been tapping the metal railing on her bed. Noticing she was awake he stopped and sat correctly. Someone else was in the room but she couldn't quite make out the figure. As her vision cleared up she noticed the man had brown hair and green eyes. The taller man walked up to the young girl and placed his hand over hers. She still didn't know who this man was, he seemed to only be around 17 years older than her or maybe 20.

"May I ask your name?" she asked, remembering something about him but not exactly who he was.

"Mija, how is it that you don't remember me?" Guilt struck her as she couldn't recognize her own dad, he didn't look like her in any way but she got her personality from him.

"Lo siento papá, estaba dañada en un accidente durante mi trabajo."

"No hay ninguna razón a disculparte, esto no fue nada de tu culpa. Ahora, fue desde 9 años o más desde que te mira, ya crecistes much. Mi princesa se eso en una mujer muy bonita."

"Te extrano, papa"

"Lo mismo a ti, dónde esta mi nieta? Olle que tu mama se enojo quando oyó la noticia."

"Me crello que está dormida en otro cuarto con personas quedando la mientras yo me recuperó y yo de verdad no se como se siente de la situación, no me ha visitado."

"La puedo a mirar o no?" She looked over at Kotoro and silently asked for her daughter. He nodded and headed to the daycare area to get Sapphire.

"It's better if we talk in english, that way others can understand us."

"So what if they can't? Can the little one understand spanish?"

"She knows three languages, now tell me how the family has been." Kotoro soon walked in with sapphire walking beside her, and lifted her up onto the bed beside her mother. Holding her daughter she looked over to her dad.

"Bebe, este es tu abuelo." the small child extended her arms over to her grandfather, wanting to be carried. "Seems like she likes you." the old man laughed and played with the small child's hands, this was the first time he had seen the child his daughter bared. Meanwhile Sawako kept looking over at her supposed lover. Kotoro seemed to scan the room, then the hallway, in a repeated cycle. He did this often, ensuring maximum safety for those in his immediate environment. It seemed as though most of his focus was on sawako and sapphire.

"You don't need to keep a lookout, we're at a hospital after all."

"It's more of a caution for any emergencies or immediate necessities for nurses, as well as ensuring I'm ready to take care of any sudden injuries to anyone here or any changes in your condition."

"I'm hooked up to a heart monitor and so far I've only had eating problems." hearing this her father scolded her.

"It took her until yesterday to finally give in."

"How long did she go without eating?"

"Maybe.....a day? Maybe two, if she didn't eat what the other nurse delivered her."

"She's been doing that since she was a kid, thought she had grown out of it though."

"It seems not. Though she's eating now, and that's a start at least."

"She'll just keep forgetting."

"As long as she's here, I'll do what I can to ensure maximum nutrition."

"Thank you, you're a good kid."

"Thank you, sir. Although, I'm just doing my job."

"Sure, that's exactly why you're mostly only taking care of me." Sawako stated.
