Nai.

[ His voice is quiet, and a little far away. The communicator is sitting a little far from the hospital bed he's been put up in for now. ]

Haruka-oniichan!!!

Are you all right? Did you get hurt..? [ so much worrying ]

[ voice ]

[onikui_haruka]

I'm fine...

[ He's not going to speak on the other part. There's no need to worry Nai more than necessary. ]

[onikui_haruka]

I'm sorry, Nai... For not being able to protect you.

It's.... .....It's okay, Haruka-oniichan. I wasn't um... quiet enough so it's my fault they found me. You don't have to apologize.

[ He can see what you're doing, but... He still can't accept that. At least for now. ]

[listeningto]

...Haruka-oniichan....?

[ voice ]

[onikui_haruka]

Ah-... Sorry.

I guess I'm still a bit tired.

[ voice ]

[listeningto]

Uwah, I'm sorry! You should rest. Did I get in the way..?

[ voice ]

[onikui_haruka]

No.

I'm glad that you're awake.

[ voice ]

[listeningto]

I'm...glad I got to wake up again too.

...Um, is Kantarou-san okay too? Is he safe?

[ voice ]

[onikui_haruka]

Yes. He and Cirno are both safe.

He's been here at the hospital with me.

[ voice ]

[listeningto]

Hospital..? Why?

[ voice ]

[onikui_haruka]

... I got a little careless.

[ Which is putting it mildly. ]
