[shimbo_hiromu]

[The audio begins in the middle of laboured breathing and wheezing, which is all that is heard for a long time. By the time he speaks, Shimbo's voice is faint, and wet.]

E-everyone.. Yuh-you ca-an't.. can't blame yourselves.. for any of it. None of it.. I-it was the sky.. right? It fell. None of us could help it... angry stars.. Gods.. maybe we m-

Shimbo?! ...you okay there? [Even though she can barely stay up, she rushes over.]

[shimbo_hiromu]

[Shimbo turns his head and watches her stumble her way over. He frowns a little and moves aside as best as he can in his bed to make room for her to rest.]

A-Anemone.. Y-you.. should not..!

[So his English wasn't perfect- He'd manage.]

Sorry! Boss is being watchful...

[pilot_princess]

[Even though she knew she shouldn't be up, she just has to hurry to him, and opts for kneeling next to his bed.]

Shimbo, what happened... Please tell me you'll be okay!

It's alright <3

[shimbo_hiromu]

[He gazes over at her, knelt by his bed and shakes his head. She shouldn't be down there when she's in such bad shape herself.]

You should sit. Not good, to be on it that way.

[He points to the floor]

... Can't.. Soon I will be. Ah, Sh-Shinji, will bring Sumomo. You play with her.

[x_justpeachy]

Where--

Shimbo-san! Where are you!?

[Voice, Japanese]

[shimbo_hiromu]

Momo-chan. I'm.. at the clinic.

[Voice, Japanese] COMMENTZLORG?

[x_justpeachy]

I'm coming! Just--j-just hang on!

[she stuffs her communicator away into her haori, and immediately bounds off from the scene of Phineas' murder. For the past twenty-four hours, Hinamori had gone from leading rescue missions, to helping with Vegeta, to investigating the scene of a murder. She was physically and emotionally drained, but something inside of her - some kind of drive - kept her going strong, despite how weak she may have looked outwardly.

She made it to the high school not long after, bounding through the hallways and entering the clinic without hesitation. It took her some time to find him, but when she did, she immediately hurried to his side. Shimbo was one of the few people who had first welcomed her to Discedo, and now he was in terrible condition.]

Sh-Shimbo-san?! You're--has anyone come to treat you?!

[When Hinamori practically flies over to him, he tries his best to look better than he is, but at this point, it's near impossible. He can wear a smile, but he can't do a thing about his pale, waxy appearance. He offers her a warm smile and reaches a bandaged hand out, doing his best to not show the fear he'd expressed earlier. He would try to be brave for her.]

H-hey, Momo-chan! It'll be okay.. Derek has been taking good care of me..

[pluschecker]

[Chihaya has been working in the clinic all day again. When he notices this post, he heads into Shimbo's room.]

U-um. Do you need anything for the pain? I could.. see if we have extra..

[shimbo_hiromu]

Ah- n-no.. no, not yet. I'm not ready..!

[pluschecker]

Ready? You sounded like you were in more pain...

[shimbo_hiromu]

It hurts.

[...]

[He looks up at Chihaya, the colour drained away from his face]

... But I'm not done yet.. If I take something, I'll.. waste the time I have left..

[onikui_haruka]

You don't have to talk anymore...

[shimbo_hiromu]

... I'm sorry.

[onikui_haruka]

Why?

[shimbo_hiromu]

My.. my talking.. if it's anno--

annoying.

[prodigal_axe]

Why can't someone just..

Hey, don't worry about thanking people and shit. Just try and relax.

[Voice, Japanese]

[shimbo_hiromu]

It's the truth.. More people should--

[Voice, Japanese]

[prodigal_axe]

You're not wrong, but--

That little fairy thing of yours. Is someone takin' care of it?

[Voice, Japanese]

[shimbo_hiromu]
