Can You Hear Me [Closed]

Who: Akihiko Sanada & Friends
Where: Caduceus Hospital
Summary: Akihiko Sanada arrives from the Tower of Animus which means he needs a new body.
Warnings: Persona 3 Tear Factory

Sector F Level 4B-Room 2.

The area looked more like a science lab than an actual room. Numerous tubes were surrounding Akihiko, along with monitors of every type and subject. And that was for the medical part. What was more, candles and strange summoning circles and items were surrounding the bed as well, as medical met mystical in a strange array. Hinoto-Ri had perfected their arts, but they still had a long way to go.

"He's still rather weak," a voice above him said, distorted. "Did you send the message to his relatives?"

"Yes. I believe a positive experience may jolt him out of of the vegetative state he's now in."

"I wonder if he hears us. Damn Visitor should appreciate what we're doing."

"Dr.Stein, please remember that we are men of cloth sword to heal and protect as much as we can. This includes Visitor and Demons."

"I know. I know. I'm sorry. Let's leave him be and we can preform most tests later."

Living up to the Sanada name alright. Aki watches her sympathetically. Maybe he'll just...try to get his arms around her. She needs a hug.

"I thought I'd never see you again."

[helenchanter]

"I can't believe you're from that horrible place...I'm so glad you showed up here." There was a pit of worry inside of her. He'd better not return there, or else she'd have to find a way to cut his strings or something.

But she put on a brave face for him.

"It's been months since it happened, but I promised myself I'd never forget about you and how you were still fighting in there despite all that they had done to you. It made me stronger and I wanted to fight here too..." Now she was just spilling out her life story to him. Woops.

[boxingemperor]

"I just hope everyone else there is okay."

She became stronger because of meeting him? That makes his day. He wants to get up and walk out of there and train with her and-

Well, as soon as his body cooperated with him. He stops squirming and frowns, accepting the fact that a discharge is likely not going to happen right now. Akihiko's never been good about bed rest, even when his injuries landed him an overnight stay at Tatsumi Memorial.

"If you got out, that means there is a way to leave, right? We have to put our trust in them that they'll beat it too."

That included everyone else she met there. Even Jin. The last memories of that tower would haunt her forever.

"That still doesn't explain why you're in the hospital but...wait. No, don't speak right now. I don't want to overwork you..." Even if she wanted to hear more of his voice, she shouldn't. Her hands tighten around his again.

[boxingemperor]

He nods, letting himself relax again. He looks up at the ceiling, then at Miki once more. One more question. "So when do I get out of here?" For as many times as he's been in the hospital, he still finds it hard to be there.

[helenchanted]

"I...don't know," she admits, looking up at the ceiling herself. "I just got here a few minutes ago when they contacted us. Minako and Shinjiro are waiting outside right now. They'll probably be wanting to talk more with you, now that your up."

She had no idea if he had awoken before that or not. Freeing one hand long enough, she sniffed and used her sleeve to wipe away her tears.

"Hey Aki...I'm glad you're here." She couldn't say this enough.

[boxingemperor]

"Oh." He'll try to stay awake, then. He may know something important that they need to ask him about. It'll be nice to see Minako and Shinji again, too.

He looks her in the eyes, another smile spreading across his face. "Don't worry, I'll...I'll protect you." He wouldn't waste this chance. So long as he was here, he would be the big brother he was meant to be. "I'm not weak anymore."

[helenchanter]

Dammit Aki, she had promised herself to stop crying there and then but as soon as he said that, the tears just came back.

"H-hey," she protested, "You were never weak to me. And I'll make sure to protect you too."
