"Hoshi-dono? Can you wake up?"

C'mon, dork. You can wake up, right?

...wha... I'm... alive...?

"Hoshi-dono...?"

...Reiko...? Where am... I?

"Hoshi-dono!" *sound of relief*

...did I die...?

"...Almost, but you're okay!"

...huh. What happened...? Why does my h-head feel so heavy?

[Scowls] Tch.

[soul-on-light.livejournal.com]

*Her frown increases.*

[asakura-flower.livejournal.com]

[Scowl grows]

... Well, it seems almost everyone has shown up to see you, Hoshi-sama.

[soul-on-light.livejournal.com]

...Indeed.

She feels guilty and sad over yesterday with Hana, so she looks away.

[asakura-flower.livejournal.com]

... Well, if that's everything settled...

[soul-on-light.livejournal.com]

...Wait.

Hana... I have no excuse for what I did... It was foolish and... I should've resisted better... but, I didn't.

She sniffles and starts to tear up.

Virus or not, I should have been the bigger sister and told Anna no...

She starts to cry again.

[Hana shook his head and balled up his fists.] I don't want to talk about it! I don't even want to think about it!

... I... I just came to make you're safe... That you're okay...

[soul-on-light.livejournal.com]

"It would appear that Hoshi-dono would feel better if you went over there, Hana-dono."

[asakura-flower.livejournal.com]

[He took a step back instead.]

[soul-on-light.livejournal.com]

...right.

*Hoshi sighs and she closes her eyes.*

[asakura-flower.livejournal.com]

... I'll leave now. It's for the best.

[soul-on-light.livejournal.com]

...yeah, it is.

Hope that you have a good day, at least...

[asakura-flower.livejournal.com]

G-get better soon... please.

[soul-on-light.livejournal.com]

I will... Also, Hana, one thing, before you go.

[asakura-flower.livejournal.com]

... Yes?

[soul-on-light.livejournal.com]

Shichiyou is known for being a rat, so he'll probably leak out the Solar Rush attack to Hao, as well as that I learned it through the Chou Senji Ryakketsu.

What you must do is don't let them sway you no matter what, alright? After all, I love you, no matter what circumstances we're under.

*A strict, but sad smile appears on her face.*

[asakura-flower.livejournal.com]

Yeh, you keep saying that but... [He sighs and shakes his head sadly.]

Am I allowed a question?

[soul-on-light.livejournal.com]

Go ahead.

[asakura-flower.livejournal.com]

Will... will that leave a scar?

[soul-on-light.livejournal.com]

...More than likely, yes.

[asakura-flower.livejournal.com]

Do... [Shuffles uncomfortably and stares up at the ceiling as he asks.] Do you want me to heal it for you?

[soul-on-light.livejournal.com]

... Heal it?

[asakura-flower.livejournal.com]

Yes... It means you can leave this place quicker and the scar will be smaller.

[soul-on-light.livejournal.com]

...Don't overexert yourself, Hana.

*Removes the blanket well enough to allow access to her stomach.*

[asakura-flower.livejournal.com]

[Hesitates, then makes his way over to the bed.] It's not like I haven't done it before...

[Awkwardly, he puts his hands over her wound and focuses his power into it.]
