[So your roommate just went crazy after taking his medication and you had to knock him out and handcuff him to his bed.

Time to hunt down a biochemist about that medication bit. Miyoko, your doom approaches looking uncharacteristically disheveled and with extraordinarily...upset-like.]

[There is one very familiar scientist working his job as a waiter/barista, skillfully balancing multiple trays and orders sans pad. It's not like a polymathic genius needs to think much when it comes to drinks.

Right now he's setting down coffee, so he hasn't noticed.

Takagawa. I need to speak to you. [...So let's review the facts. Mibu Haruhi is using a.) extremely formal speech right now, b.) looks really harried, and c.) is acknowledging your existence.]

[tsuncience]

No. Go away.

[Sets down the last coffee and heading for that counter.]

[farewelltopain]

Takagawa, this isn't for me, this is for Ishikawa.

[tsuncience]

What did you do this time?!

[farewelltopain]

I didn't. He had a psychotic suicidal breakdown after taking his medication for insomnia. [Holds up the bottle!]

I have reason to believe his medication might be tainted.

[tsuncience]

You can afford to hire someone else.

[But... He isn't walking away.]

[farewelltopain]

It's not a matter of money. It's a matter of keeping him safe. I know what happened to him the last time he was hospitalized.

[It...was not good.] You are the only biochemist in Raitou that he could trust.

[tsuncience]

First he gets shot, now this-- Why does everyone use me as a medic?! I have a life, you know! A life that doesn't involve patching up idiots! And where do you expect me to find the equipment to do that?

[farewelltopain]

I can provide that easily enough. But I don't want to involve more people than necessary with his condition, and you know as well as I do the implications of tainted medicine in this city.

[...Twitch.] Got...shot. I don't suppose he remembered how it happened?

[tsunologydept]

[I'm trying to stay out of this. Why does everyone keep dragging me back? I'm a terrible person who deserves to die when I had to work at Canaan, but I'm fine when I can be forced to work for you?

How is this fair?!]

Give me the address to wherever you're setting up the equipment, and leave me alone!

[farewelltopain]

[It isn't, internal-monoloug-san, but Haruhi's got nothing else he can turn to. He simply hands Miyoko a card with the address, and turns and walks out without another word.]
