I was at the hospital for two days, my head was okay, no concussion whatsoever. I will be allowed to leave the hospital tomorrow, which was good news but...They still haven't found Owari yet and the more the days pass, the less likely they think he is alive. We still tried to keep our hopes up, Owari is not exactly the strongest of us all, but he wouldn't just let himself die. He would do anything to stay alive at least. We could only wait and hope.

*Meanwhile two days ago*

...
...
...
...cold...
...I feel numb...cold...I can't move...or open my eyes...
I fell down the river with Lys and we were both almost reaching each other's hand before reaching the waterfall. I felt my consciousness slipping away...
...
...
...
I was able to wake up...My body still ached but I was able to move this time around.

Owari: "I need to get back to others..."

I got up and started walking...It took me a few steps before realizing that I was surrounded by darkness...There was nothing around me, there was no noise as well. It was just me...And darkness...
I decided to keep walking in the same direction than where I started, maybe the darkness was just me being too tired to notice my surroundings. The only thing I had left for now was my will to live and hope.

*Present day*

Nurse: "Good morning, Lysinaro."
Lysinaro: "Good morning, Ms. King."
Nurse: "You doing good this morning as well?"
Lysinaro: "Couldn't be better."
Nurse: "We'll see with the last check-up. Let's go to the Doctor's office."
Lysinaro: "Lead the way."

I was able to stand on my own and walk by myself as well

I was able to stand on my own and walk by myself as well. Everything seemed to check out, I just needed the Doctor's approval to finally leave the hospital. Once we were at the doctor's office, the nurse left me in his care.

Dr. Kurufor: "Good morning, Lysinaro, please take a seat."
Lysinaro: "Thank you."
Dr. Kurufor: "So...How are you feeling in general?"
Lysinaro: "To be completely honest with you, I'm really in top shape. I think I can leave the hospital today without any issue."
Dr. Kurufor: "Good, then let's do the last check-up because otherwise, I can have trouble if something were to happen to you outside the hospital without the check-up."
Lysinaro: "Sure, no problem, Doc."

Dr. Kurufor was one of the doctors in chief of the hospital, he was the one who took care of me since I came here. He made sure everything went well and that I heal fast. He was excellent at his job if I had to say. We did the last check-up together with the same test as the last two days. I passed them all with ease. Once everything was cleared, he made me sign a paper and I was now free.

Lysinaro: "Thank you again, Doc."
Dr. Kurufor: "The pleasure is mine, try to stay out of troubles from now on."
Lysinaro: "Will do."

I went outside the hospital, it seems that Aqrec and the others were already waiting outside for me. We hopped in and went back to the Guest House. Once we arrived at the Guest House, Susan and Anime_irl came to me and asked me if I was alright. I had to tell them several times that everything was fine, that I've never been better. We were all in the living room. The only one who was in her room was Boo. It was easy to guess why, as I'm alive and well, while Owari is still missing since that day. I didn't know if I should go talk to her, but I also thought that it would make things worse. The only thing that could really make things right was to find Owari alive and well. But it's already been two days...
