Simply being near a hospital took a small toll on the pink haired male as many thoughts swarmed his mind with people who are locked up in that place forever, he didn't want to go but with the fact that it was either go to the hospital or let Nendou drag him out Kusuo made the better choice and chose the first option. It was strange to see his mother not utter a word as soon as they reached a closed door that had the numbers 405 on it, for some reason the numbers became planted in his head. His mother knocked on the door but after a few seconds she decided to open it only to be met with emptiness, some materials were on the bedside table which indicated that someone does stay here.

His mother slightly frowned at the wave of lifelessness in the room, she delicately placed the bouquet of sunflowers in the vase that stood proudly near the window. Kusuo examined the room before nurses were seen wheeling in a bed with an unconscious patient on it, they didn't move nor make a single sound. If it wasn't for his powers or the heart monitor he might have thought that she passed, his mother simply stared at her seemingly lifeless body as a sigh exited her lips and she faced the window once again. Kusuo watched as his mother just stared without a single thought running through her mind despite all the commotion around the hospital grounds, she glanced back over and signalled her son to follow. Kusuo looked back at the girl, shut the door and walked away as his mother bowed at the people who worked with her.

Not a single word came from her mouth the entire day, neither did a thought. Nothing his father did helped either, in all honesty he thinks that his father just made it worse. Night came and the pink haired male teleported to the hospital room as no one besides him and her were present, he looked her up and down before taking the clipboard and reading through it all but nothing about her condition was written. Only small yet detailed notes.

He sighed in frustration causing the female to move a little but her eyes remained shut, he tilts his head not expecting her to hear him. The moon shone through the window showing her chest rising up and down quickly, he suspected her heart monitor to go off but it didn't which surprised him even more. Instead she was able to calm herself down, the female took a deep breathe and fell asleep once again. Footsteps made him cast his eyes over to the door before placing the clipboard back down and teleported back to his house without trouble. The doctor furrowed there eyebrows and shrugged before closing the door once again.

The internet was useless since when he searched up the basics that were on the clipboard, it came up with different types of sicknesses yet none of them are tied to each other, he ran a hand through his pink hair and looked at the digital clock on his desk to show that he needed to leave or else he would be late. His mother was still silent making his father worry that she might become mute however she muttered a few words and now his father's happiness basically soared through the roof and he could only sweatdrop at him.

The sound of nature had been cut off when he saw Nendou Riki along with Kaidou Shun waiting near a lamppost, the sun hit his glasses as he turned to try and take a detour but they saw him making Kusuo's mood drop drastically. The annoyance of standing between them for a short amount of time was enough to make him escape once they reached the school however he was met with another, this one held dark blue hair and everyone who saw her dropped everything. The male really considered just leaving since he wasn't in the mood at all however if Kusuo had to be honest he's never in the mood to deal with people but it's must as his parents say.

The pink haired male successfully managed to avoid her for the time being and made it to his class without any troubles, his day went normal besides Teruhashi Kokomi trying to talk to him and failing as usual. He slowly walked down the street by himself and stood in front of the house door but instead of going inside he turned around and left, he didn't know what came over him but Kusuo's feet carried him to the hospital much to his dismay yet curiosity. He made his way to the odd numbered room but he didn't knock, he just simply stood there. Fear took over his body for some odd reason, he fought it back however he was still frozen in his state until a doctor questioned him.

'Are you one of her friends?'

'My mother asked me to drop this off' He pulled out a flower from his pocket as the doctor shrugged

'She's still unconscious but her body will react to sound so try to be quiet' He nodded and carefully opened the door, the fear seeming to leave

His eyes trailed around the dark room, the curtains were closed and the air conditioning had been turned one leaving the room to feel like a giant freezer. Kusuo threw the flower in the bin and carefully made his way towards her bed, he sat down on one of the chairs and examined her face. Her skin looked sickly, but not in a pale state, it's more of a light tan colour however when the sunlight hit her body her hands curled into fists and once it was gone they un-tightened and fell back to her side. She intrigued him, yet she wasn't even awake to respond to anything.

He carefully picked up the clipboard again to see things have been erased and replaced with different words, his eyes scanned over everything yet it still didn't make any sense to him. No detailed information on her condition nor name has been placed, Kusuo blinked and looked up at her before looking back down at the clipboard. He's never been like this before, and he questions why. He doesn't even know who she is, his mother does though but he doubts she'll tell him anything because just seeing her made his mother go silent.

'Who are you?'
