[6:00PM]

Angela and Ana paced themselves while walking down towards the infirmary. The older woman glanced over at Hanzo noticing how emotionless he looked. His eyes were drawn towards the ground seeming to just stare into emptiness. Only god knows what must be going through his cluttered mind. Angela was just as baffled when she too had approached the scene. All she was notified about was her presence being needed in the central lobby for urgent care. What she expected to see was blood, someone's hand being chopped off, a critical injury, or sudden illness - not Hanzo Shimada having a panic attack.

As they neared the the medical ward Ana spoke for Athena to open the doors. As requested, the AI did as commanded assisting the two professional healers inside. "Get him over to the medical cot, I will get the scanning tablet."

Angela nodded quickly preparing for most of the weight to be exchanged towards her. When half of the support had left, she grunted some leaning to her side as she helped Hanzo over. The Shimada wasn't totally useless. He walked over with Angela and laid down on the very first cot that he was led to. Dr. Ziegler walked around to the other side grabbing over a small clip that was being attached to the archers thumb. It would be responsible for sending the results made by the medical tablet Ana was bringing over.  The blonde glanced her bright blue skeptical eyes towards the deadpan Shimada feeling irritated and angered. Her heart felt betrayed of her own mind. Hanzo did not deserve to feel helped or treated, the metal pain he felt is karma best served scolding hot. She had so many questions, questions revolving around the word 'why'.

Captain Amari returned with a thin silver tablet. The Overwatch logo was engraved on the back giving a shimmering glare each time it was lifted vertically up. She walked right up to the poor archer looking down with such sympathy. "I know you must be so tired deary, but can you lift your arms up for me?"

When there came no response or signs of movement, Angela sighed in frustration. "It is pointless Ana--"

"Dr. Ziegler your opinion is not appropriate at this time. To hear that you are a woman who will help those in need is starting to stench this room. Now help, or I will have to send you out in exchange for Baptiste." Ana narrowed her one eye completely fed up with Angela's childish ways. She isn't the only one who worked with Genji during his hard transition period. A new era of acceptance has been long overdue between her and what happened to Genji. It is time she moved from this dark grudge and find peace with happiness the younger Shimada is in now. Hanzo is in enough pain; he doesn't need to be reminded of the distasteful act that he committed.

The Angel of Mercy looked to Ana with a stunned gaze. She tightened her lip before standing and clenching her fists nearly making them shake. However, all the tension shaking within her body relaxed all together with a defeated sigh. She straightened her posture changing up her attitude some. Instead of willing herself to submit to such emotions, she couldn't let her emotions affect her overall professional integrity. "I will hold up his arms. See if you can get a scan of his whole body."

Ana steadily nodded before proceeding with the scan. A yellowish light beam came down scanning Hanzo's appendages and organs. The best thing about technology is that it has progressed extraordinarily over the years. With such a device, Ana is able to scan said Shimada's body and receive his blood pressure, heart rate, x-rays, MRI, and temperature. After the yellow light had disappeared three small beeps were made until the results had come back.

"How does he look?" Angela softly asked.

"Temperature is normal, blood pressure is a little high and his heart rate. Go ahead and administer him some sedatives to allow him to rest."

The doctor nodded before leaving Hanzo's side to obtain some medicine that would allow him to calm down. While Dr. Ziegler did so, Ana walked over crouching down some to be at eye level with the Shimada. He was staring off to the side looking so dull in color. "Everything is going to be alright. You can rest, and when you wake up things will feel a little better." She gently ran her soft cool hand over the side of his cheek making sure that he was alright. Hanzo looked to completely shut down from the world responding to no one.
