They vicariously nod in unison, “T-The doctors tried to wake you up but you just weren’t responding!”
“Seriously? I remember getting smacked upside the head big-time but not nearly bad enough to put me in a coma!” You point out.
“The doctors were confused too! They tried everything to wake you up but nothing seemed to rouse you! Did something else happen that would’ve put you in such a state?” Hansel asks.
“Not that I recall…Huh…wait…” Your eyes narrow, (Maybe it was Lucy?) You guess.
(Is this what she meant with that shit about <span class="mu-i">waiting till everything safe?</span> Did she keep me there for two weeks just sleeping? What the hell did she do to me while I was out!?) You feel a shiver run down your spine.
“Do you recall something?” Hansel asks.
“No…No nothing.” You answer, erring on the side of caution before telling them about the evil(?) woman who lives in your head.
“Really? But it just seemed like you remembered something-”
“Sniff-Sniff-!” Hansel’s inquiry is interrupted by the sound of Gretal tearing up.
“Gretal…” Hansel holds her.
“I-I’m sorry, it’s just…A-All the doctors said they couldn’t t-tell when you were going to wake up, i-if ever! And I was so worried and…I’m so glad you woke up!” she nearly breaks down crying.
“Gretal, you don’t need to apologize but remember we’re in a hospital!” Hansel warns before turning and smiling at you, “But…I do agree, I’m so glad to see you woke up Derrick.”
“Hansel…Gretal…” You give them an appreciative nod, “Don’t worry, I’m back and better than ever!” You assure.
Hansel smiles wider, “I’ve no doubt, you’re so diligent I’m sure you trained even in your sleep! But I must admit, when I found you sprawled out next to the body of Mr.Landon, I truly feared for the worst…”
Your smile fades, “Speaking of which, mind going into a little detail about what happened there?”
“That? Well-”
“That part I can explain for you just fine.” A familiar voice, followed by a familiar face, you look over and see Okabe walk through the door.
“Okabe!” You shout, genuinely shocked to see him.
“The one and only…I think.” He nods.
“Oh, it’s the fellow you were with at the train station. You’re a friend of the young master and Derrick right?” Hansel asks him.
“That I am, it’s nice to see you again as well Gerauld.” He bows.
