"Mikan! Thank you for taking such good care of Fuyuhiko! It's truly hope inspiring!" I say to Mikan at the front desk when we arrive. She looks stressed. "T-thank you Nagito! And hello H-Hajime. Please t-try not to upset him or anything... he is still in s-shock..!" Mikan says to us. We nod and head up to where Fuyuhiko's room is. I can almost swear I hear Hajime mumble "I hope he's okay..."

Fuyuhiko sits up when we walk into the room. He's surprisingly energetic. "Hey guys... Long time no see, huh?" To think that it's only been a few hours since we saw him last. "So..." Hajime asks. "Are you like, okay? Does Mikan have you on painkillers or anything?" Fuyuhiko props himself up on his pillow and says "Well, I don't have an eye anymore. But yeah she has me on something so I'm doing alright for now." Hajime looks at me like I should say something so I say "I hope you can recover, Fuyuhiko. I know it's not fun being in the hospital..." Of course, I could've added something about hope and despair, but I decided to cut that part out. I don't need Fuyuhiko trying to stab me. Mikan comes in and tells us we should probably leave because she has to adjust his IV and change his bandages. We say goodbye to Fuyuhiko and we leave.

Once we're outside, Hajime seems to relax. "Hey Nagito... Thanks for coming with me. Hospitals stress me out." Hajime almost seems embarrassed. "I understand... I've had my fair share of hospitalizations." Hajime looks at me.
"Oh? Why? Sorry if that's too personal-" I agree to tell him, but it's a long story so we sit down on the beach. It's a lovely night. "How should I put this..." I say, thinking out loud. "Basically... I have cancer. Also, dementia! How hopeless of me..." Hajime's eyes widen. It's clear he's at a loss for words. "Sorry to burden you by telling you my medical history! I'm sure you don't even want to waste your time thinking about someone like me!" Hajime still has not said anything, it's like he's trying to find something to say. I take it as my cue to leave, so I start to get up.

"Nagito- wait!"
