(It's a blessing that you haven't yelled in contrast to your prior visits to the hospital for what reason have you changed?)
"It's not like whining will improve my healing, and I don't wanna bother the people around me that much. It's not all bad you know, I finally got time to browse through my collection of Novels. Re:write, Corpse Slayer, Homunculus Rebirth, and Zombies Guide to the Apocalypse," Hikaru flips the novel's page paying no mind to his surroundings as the hospital came to be his second home
(Didnt you say you received a message from the games creator again? Why don't you put down that book and let's analyze for a while? Maybe it has a clue about which of the heroines she had characterized herself in doing so lessens our selection–)
'It's a waste of time, don't even bother, the message only contained a reminder, he or she told me that I know them from before. But that's another problem, I'm not sure about the details but I got roped in on an accident in which I have no reflection. The doctor told me that in due time I'd recover but I didn't. I knew how to talk, study, and read like there was nothing wrong except I didn't have my memories,'
The door unfolded and he was greeted by a bountiful of visitors consisting of his friends, classmates, and the Yura'a gang
"Hikaru I came here to see if you're alright. Look I even brought the rest. They've been dying to visit, especially Sana– Urgh!"
Kaoru's head was then greeted by her fist along with her face slowly becoming red where she quickly averted her gaze. "It's not like im worried about him or anything my pride wouldn't let me if the person who bests me dies,"
"Hikaru are you okay!!? Also, this is Dr. Anthony Stewart the exclusive doctor of the Hashimoto group. I instructed him to ensure your recovery so I wouldn't be bored at the apartment. I'll have you up and running in no time there's nothing that money can buy,"
"Is this treatment of mine for free?" Hikaru hid his book in the meantime as a guest from all sorts of places arrived to accompany him on his stay
"Consider it my gift for teaching me the norms of a normal citizen. Also, when are you coming back? It's been days since you visited if you would like we c-can go out shopping! Yes, that's what I mean,"
"Huh, since when did you two get close?" The dynamic between Sana and Karin drastically changed instead of fawning at Sana she got close to Hikaru
"We're neighbors, after all, im also his classmate, and I once was his employer I have a reason to be here, what about you?" Her warmth suddenly fades and she suddenly acts cold and dignified in front of the person she formerly admires
"O-of course I have the right to be here! He's my rival. I'll have to ensure he's fine before I challenge him. Also, Kaoru invited me!!!"
The gang member couldn't care less about the two's banter and joins Kaoru as they chat with Hikaru. Suddenly the doors opened for the second time and everyone was frightened as they saw a walking animatronic doll. Their worries subside when they see Suzu at its back carrying a box full of prosthetics she made in a jiffy
"Greetings Hikaru, I am Caymax. Your personal healthcare companion. Under the orders of my creator, I shall be your servant,"
"Senpai I heard you got hospitalized again for the third time. Because of your self-destructive acts, and lack of self-preservation, which led to the creation of Caymax. I booted him with the latest medical knowledge so he's on par with a prestigious nurse," Suzu makes an effort to bypass the two but she deliberately gets hurled into the creation of a storm
"Hey keep that away from him. I know who you are little brainiac. But how are you sure that thing is harmless?"
"Yeah, what the missus said. How exactly can we be sure it won't malfunction? And while we're talking are you sure that quack can be called a doctor? He looks more like a native American shaman than a professional physician,"
"How dare you... Dr. Anthony Stewart learned all sorts of medical practices. Surgery, lobotomy, acupuncture, and just calling for his assistance is even near impossible. That's just how great of a person he is, it's better to leave Hikaru in the hands of a professional,"
"Hey don't ignore me! What did you say about Caymax? I can't let that one slide. He's a perfect caretaker that I built with my all, this was supposed to be his debut. Also can lower your tone? We're inside a hospital of all places!"
The other two girls were being hindrance in their way of earning time alone with Hikaru and with none of them backing down they moved. They sought the opinion of the person who could overturn the reasoning of the rest and that was the person occupying this room. The three simultaneously ask as if their thoughts had synced and eyes shifted toward the bed
"What do you think Hikaru!!?" The three were flabbergasted as the patient disappeared along with Kaoru and Katsumi Yura's gang
...
On the hospital's rooftop
"Whew, finally some fresh air. Hey guys place the blanket over here. I'll buy the drinks, and Yanegawa get our Order,"
"On it Takeru!"
"Wataru the blankets all fixed. You can place him down now. Although it's been delayed for a few days let the anniversary commence!"
Takeru and the gang members finally gathered the rest of their pals and declared the start of their gang's anniversary. Kaoru and Hikaru joined them for the meal along with his maid to celebrate the once-in-a-year occasion. Cheers and laughter plagued the rooftop but after all that was over the Leader stepped up and made an important announcement
"Thank you, everyone, although it's not as flashy as the year before it's better than nothing I guess. I'm a little nervous standing here since many of you might have guessed deep down in your hearts that im disbanding the group. I was hesitant at first but seeing the new member I realized we had grown so much but learned so little..." Yura paused for a moment shedding a tear as her gang members gathered for one last time in her rule
"... fuck! I'm sorry im just too emotional. I can't stop crying. This was our whole life and it feels like im ending it. But this is for the best, you guys mean a lot to me. You weren't just my crew, you were my family. So like the head of a family, I need to let you go, chase your dreams, and never look back, thank you for everything,"
That feeling hurt more than a stab of a knife, and a fire of a gunshot, because a simple needle can make them numb. But this was no bruise they couldn't heal, heartache was something they'd never once encountered nor endured. Every gang member wailed in pain knowing that their time to progress had come and this was their final goodbye

'So that's it then?'
(We better give them some time. We angels have a knack for sensing. It doesn't look like you can reach them at this moment)
...
Four days later
(Hurry Hikaru!!!)
"I get it already geez!" After all that wandering in Sanya, Hikaru's bike finally broke thus making him take the train on his way to school
'I miss my bike... I can't believe it's been damaged to such a degree. But if I look back at it, my bike got hit by a truck. I never once replaced the chains, and I was pedaling with so much strength. In the end, it broke down this early in the morning, maybe I should buy a new one at the mall, I have plenty of money,'
(I agree but you best be on your way. At this point, we'll be late if another second is wasted. Hurry on now!!!)
Morrisoge High sticks to its name as a school where prestigious, intelligent, and talented kids are safeguarded. Because of that being late for even a second would make the academy feel like an impenetrable fortress. Hikaru was late but he saw the gate open and saw a familiar face he thought he'd never encounter for a second time
"You're late what do you have to say for yourself oh dear student? I'll let you slide since it's your first time. Name and section?" Katsumi Yura appeared before him wearing a uniform that symbolized her job as the school's guard

"Yura– Whoa!" Hikaru was easily taken aback when she tugged his arm and embraced him for a brief moment
"That's big sis to you. I'd say all that stuff about moving on but your friend Kaoru recommended all of us to work here. Thanks to his introduction we've been hired,"
'Seriously? Just how did he do that? Is his family related to this school I wonder? His influence is absurd,'

System: What will it be?]
"I miss you too–"
"Kyaaah! Why did you grope my butt you... you pervert, sleaze bag, jerk, I hate you, I hate you, I hate you, Hikaru!!!" The day was yet to start and Hikaru looked like he'd get sent to the infirmary, as always your typical day of a dating sim mc
