Chiyo and Kenta ran upstairs with worry. Then in the bath... Chiyo only saw the bloody tile floor before Kenta pushed her out of the room. "Chiyo, stay in the living room and call for help. Ask them to send an ambulance right away.l. I'll handle this." Kenta swiftly knelt down in the bloody floor and gave instructions to Yura. Chisato was naked in the bathroom and Yura is the only one Kenta can ask to hold her wrist to put some pressure. While Chiyo went back to the living room and quickly dialled 119. She was talking on the phone when she heard the doorbell ring. Chiyo was both scared and relieved thinking that it could be Chisato's parents. After opening the door, Chiyo only saw the blue shirt the man that embraced her was wearing. And then, she smelled it. a familiar scent of Peppermint and cool breeze mixed with the smell of paint. "Aki-nii..." Chiyo embraced Akihiko back and hugged him like clinging to a piece of log after getting swept away in the middle of nowhere. She doesn't want to let go but she remembered that she's still of the phone. She tried to let go of Akihiko but Akihiko won't let him go. "What happened?" She heard him ask. "I need to call for help! It's an emergency!!! Our friend is bleeding to death!" Chiyo struggled to break free. But she only felt someone grabbed her phone from her hands.
"I'll make the call, Chi. You two stay here. Are they upstairs?" Ryu Quickly entered the house with even waiting for Chiyo. He went up while talking to the operator calmly. "Chiyo..." Akihiko called her name. Chiyo felt Akihiko's arms tightened around her. But instead of fear and suffocation, She felt safe. So she buried her face in his chest and hugged him back once more.
"Why do you keep getting in this kind of weird situations? Is it your school? If it's your school, Hurry up and tell your parents to move to my old school. It's a bit further from your home of it's nearer to my school and I can walk you home everyday. I can even pick you up in the morning... Stop being stubborn and talk to me." Akihiko talked with waiting for her answer. And Chiyo doesn't want to answer... Because the offer is tempting and the sound of his voice is calming. Chiyo just stayed still in Akihiko's arms like that until she felt that they needed to stop and help out inside. This time, Akihiko let her go.
Ryu walked towards them with a dark face. He gave to Akihiko her bag and said."Akihiko, you two are not needed here. You guys go home first. Kenta and Yura will stay with me. I'll call you, Chi, to tell you how's your doing. Go." Ryu looked deadly serious this time. And Akihiko only looked at him for a second and slowly lead Chiyo out of the gate and away from that place. "Is it going to be okay?" Chiyo asked Akihiko.
"She'll be okay. Ryu's parents are both doctors. His mom used to be one before retiring to be a housewife. And Ryu's grandpa owns a hospital nearby. You don't need to worry." Akihiko held Chiyo's hand and continued walking. It was a long walk before getting home. But when Chiyo arrived home there was no one home. There's a note saying that Yoshikazu took Yumi out for a while, But the dinner on the table was still hot. It looks like they just went out when Chiyo and Akihiko arrived home. "Sit down. I'll make the tea." Akihiko quickly laid Chiyo's bag on the sofa and went straight to the kitchen, While Chiyo sat down as Akihiko said. "I'll stay here and have dinner. I'll call for some take out, is there anything you like?" Akihiko asked from the kitchen.
Chiyo tried her best to think about what food to eat and shove Chisato's matters at the back of her head. "I want to eat Ice cream. I want both Half-pint of Rocky road and strawberry ice cream." She heard Akihiko laughed from the kitchen and then, He sat down after setting the tea down at the table. "We can buy ice cream at the Convenience store. But only One half-pint for you. I'll buy both flavors then I'll divide both in half so you can have both favors, is that okay?" Akihiko smiled at Chiyo, resembling almost his previous cheerful self. "Okay." Chiyo agreed.

In the hospital, Chisato is still in unconscious but no longer in harm's way. the three people that helped her out is outside, still not sure who to inform. Chisato is new in the city and the doctor has no medical records to start anything. They only sewn the cut shut and stopped the bleeding. They gave the patient injection for tetanus and for pain. but aside from that, they can't do anything else. The doctor urged the three to call the patient's parents but Yura, Kenta and Ryu don't know anything about Chisato. Chiyo only helped Chisato today, and has no other interaction with her ever since she transferred here. Kenta and Yura was the same. It's a good thing that Ryu's grandfather owns the hospital, so the doctor still tried their best in helping the patient. When everything is settled, Yura recieved a call from her parents and Kenta offered to walk her home. Ryu didn't object and choose to stay. He informed Chiyo that everything is okay now and then called Akihiko next. It was really a weird day for the people involve. But Ryu was relieved that he managed to stop Akihiko from seeing Chisato's condition before. If Akihiko saw that scene, Ryu can't even imagine how it will affect Akihiko. Chiyo looked shaken up, too. Experiencing this situation after breaking down only three days ago. Ryu waited for Chisato to wake up till it was 10pm and decided to finally go home. When Chisato felt that nobody is around anymore, she slowly opened her eyes and observed her surrounding. Then, She shifted to her side and stared outside from the window next to her bed.
