Chapter 101: Volume III - Chapter 22: Waking Up Hospitalized

"...ill soon wak-"

I heard a faint sound that I couldn't quite understand.

My eyelids slowly opened.

"Ah! He's waking up!"

I was in a very comfortable bed, lying on my back, and the ceiling in front of my eyes was... white, unlike the void in my dream.

As the world slowly became clearer, I saw a silhouette in a white coat looming over me.

"Hey? Can you hear me? You don't have to speak, just nod your head yes or no."

I nodded my head slightly up and down. Then, the silhouette in the white coat continued to ask me questions.

The questions were general checks. Do I remember my name, do I remember what happened, do I know where I am, but my focus was never on him.

I was here, in a hospital, and more importantly, I was alive, and I was not surrounded by soldiers or people ready to attack me at any moment.
