[ She doesn't want to have to speak like this, all weak, but... she can't type. A few deep breaths. ]

Shirogane... reporting. I was shot... twice. Assaulted. I did not see my attacker's face. Height estimated at about 170... over 170 cm. Male.

[dewinthesun]

That was...t-that was me.

[princedetective]

... You...? Where was... I?

[dewinthesun]

On the roof of Marshall. I-I don't know how you got up there, t-that's just where I found you.

[princedetective]

... I remember. So that's ... [ Slow breath. Totally not a sigh. Nope. ] ...Thank you.

[dewinthesun]

There's nothing to thank me for. Y-you don't leave injured people like that.

[fidgety pause] A-are you fine there?

[princedetective]

... However, some would. Had you not, I have no doubt I would have been killed. [ Awkward. ]

... Ah. I... fine? I suppose?

[dewinthesun]

T-then I'm glad that I could be there to help you.

That's good. It's just, I-I'd never been to the hospital here before s-so I wasn't sure what it would be like.

[princedetective]

I... will repay you.

Unfortunately, it is not my first stay here. But it is not so bad.

[dewinthesun]

Please don't. I didn't do it with that thought in mind, a-and I don't need anything besides.

Well, I'm glad to hear it's an acceptable hospital. But I'm sorry you've had to be there.

[princedetective]

... I see. [ Awkward what are friends. ]

... As am I. But... you do not need to worry... about it. With luck, I will be able to be healed by magical means, soon enough.
