A 2nd Chance

Chapter 47: Epilogue

1 Week Later

Funerals for the dead.

Many hospitals visits for the wounded.

Alex and Roy were both admitted into the same hospital room as Alex was wide awake watching television while Akari kept babying him after the events of last week.

Riza was also there as she had been cleared before these two were put into the hospital.

Roy was still unconscious after the fight and after going through the gate of truth to hopefully remove any traces of Wrath for good within Roy.

Truth had told Alex that he won't know when Roy woke up or even if he will. It also didn't help that Truth added that even if Roy did wake up he could still have Wrath within him.

Needless to say, it's been a stressful 7 days.

Thankfully Alex got many hospitals visits from the friends he made along the way from Base Kamno and Hyperion.

One odd thing is that when Jackie came to visit, she said she had a surprise for Alex and Roy once he finally woke up.

Alex thought it would be a harmless prank but Akari assured him that it wasn't and it was an honest to god true surprised that he'd love.

Only a few days later Jackie said that the surprise was ready was as she and her Base Kamno employees had helped make the surprise.

All that was left was to hope Roy woke  up soon and with no Wrath within him.

"Hey Alex."

"What is it Akari?"

"Your getting cleared today so Uni wants to see you in front of the Basilicom."

"Already? Damn that was fast."

"Well you did manage to heal a little quicker than expected so it's only obvious that she doesn't wanna waste any time."

Alex nodded as he turned to talk to Riza.

"Hey Aunt Riza. You gonna be okay?"

Riza had a small smile. "Whether he wakes up free or doesn't wake up at all, I'll be happy knowing he'll no longer be suffering in either scenario. Thank you Alex so much."

"No problem Aunt Riza. Uncle Roy would've wanted the same."

Those would be the last words Alex told her that day as he eventually got cleared and went back to his apartment with Akari.

After getting quick hugs from Jackie, Yae, Rita, and Kaitlyn, Alex went to his room and immediately got dressed as he finished and bid everyone goodbye as he walked out and walked over to the Basilicom's entrance.

He waited for a few minutes before he saw Uni running at him.

"Hm? Hey Uni! Wassu-!"

Before Alex could finish speaking, Uni suddenly gave him a SLAP across his cheek.

"Ow! Hey what the hell!?"

"Don't "hey what the hell" me! Don't you know how helpless I felt being forced to stay at some meaningless party Planeptune made knowing you were on the edge of death!? I-I kept thinking so hard about you dying that I literally hyperventilated! It took Noire Nepgear and Vert to somewhat calm me down but I just kept worrying and worrying an-!"

And as if the action was returned, Alex shat Uni up by simply kissing on her the lips.

(What an absolute CHAD move right there.)
