บท 81: Missing Peace

A few minutes had passed when the door opening beside me woke me up from my thoughts. One of the two nurses that had entered Chiharu's room stepped out and walked away. It didn't seem like anything serious.

Mr. Mochizuki took advantage of me coming back to reality to say, "I'll give you some time to relax. There are some things I need to take care of anyway. I'll see you later."

"Sure," I replied.

Once he was gone, I asked Aya and the nurse from earlier to help me stand up and walk back to my room. The pain had weakened a lot by the time I lay down on the bed, yet the nurse gave me a quick check-up and glued the sensors back onto my body.

The nurse asked me to relax before leaving, then Aya did the same, but worries about practically everything kept bugging my mind. Regardless, Aya and I weren't alone for much longer.
