You know, I don't think I've ever been inside a hospital. It sounds crazy right?

The hospital is covered head to toe (is that possible? A building can't have toes. Or a head now that I'm thinking about it) in white. It looks like somebody died here, which isn't the best way to think since my friends are in there at the moment. I'll be honest, I don't know what I'm doing here. Mina hates me, I haven't seen the half of the class in weeks, and I have a job that I'm missing for this. Of course they were ecstatic that I called out for once after I explained to them that the reason why was because I was seeing someone who's in the hospital. This all just feels weird I guess. I rarely go out, and if I do it's for short periods of times and has been planned weeks before, but this was a spur of the moment kind of thing and it's throwing everything off.

I'd be lying if I said I wasn't scared to go in. I can see some people waiting inside since the doors are made out of glass. I don't want to go in, but I can't just stay outside forever, I mean I can, but standing by the doors makes me stand out like some creep, but what am I gonna do? Rob the hospital? Can't really threaten a bunch of people who are sick and can't take care of themselves for money especially since they're probably gonna be broke because the hospital bill is  expensive itself. Sounds kind of shitty to me.

Well it's now or never.

"Good afternoon, how may I assist you?" The lady at the front desk immediately asks, and though I work at a restaurant that asks the same questions, I've just never been the one to receive it. Did she see me outside and knew I didn't belong here or is she just being nice since this is her job and this is what she's getting paid to do.

"Oh, uh I'm looking for a Jirou Kyouka." I nervously walk up to her desk. Now I can get a good look at her and from what I can tell she's most likely short. She has really light brown hair and circle framed glasses. Kinda reminds me of that English book. Her expression is so soft and helping which is perfect for a hospital. Anyone who sees her would know that she's always willing to help. Her desk is neatly organized by color from what I can tell. To the right of her is a picture of a younger her and a little boy. I don't know the history behind it, of course, but I think that may be her little brother.

"Are you one of UA's students?" She questions me. During this conversation, as short as it may be, she has never taken her eyes off of me. Kiri says they've been going to the hospital every day since the attack, so she's probably recognized their faces. Maybe she remembered me from the Sports Festival, which was very embarrassing and I hated every minute of it especially when I went home dizzy and confused since I short circuited twice that day.

"Y-yeah. Denki Kaminari." That's stupid, she didn't ask for my name.

"I've heard a lot about you." She smiles.

"Oh, you have?" I try to take my gaze off of her and place it somewhere else, but she just has the natural aura that makes me feel safe and I don't want it to go away.

"I have." She doesn't say anything else and just quietly looks at me as if she's patiently waiting for me to comment on it, but I don't. My eyes scan her face for a sign of annoyance, but there's nothing there. What I do notice though is that she is young, maybe in her mid twenties. You know that age where you've figured out what you wanna do with your life and you're happy with it. "You remind me of my brother. He would've been your age too."

Would've? As in, he passed away?

"Her room is on the second floor at the end of the hallway. Should have her name on the door, your friends decorated it for her." She finally looks away from me to point at the elevator and I can't tell if I'm happy about it or upset.

"Thank you." I walk straight to the elevator, which I'm glad she showed me because it's right behind her desk and knowing me I would've missed it like the idiot I am. But then I noticed another problem, am I supposed to go in this or is it patients and staff only? I know she pointed it out to me, but what if it was just a lie to see if I'd actually do it because she figured out I never went here before. Will anybody notice if I do go in it? Will they kick me out?!
