○ Scene IV: The Infirmary

Blade woke up to a familiar ceiling. That and the chemical smell told him he was back in the infirmary.

“I…”

Claire appeared at the edge of his vision.

“Doctor! Blade…Blade’s awake!”

The curtain slid open, and the doctor’s familiar face came into view. She briskly walked over, her charming eyebrows raised high, then she pulled Blade’s body up and hugged him tightly.

“You’re so stupid!”

“What? Why am I stupid? …And why am I in the infirmary…?”

“Ugh! You’re such an idiot! Stupid, stupid, stupid! I can’t believe how reckless you are! I thought you were done with all that! I’m always having to worry about you! You said you wouldn’t make me cry again! You said it right at the end! I remember! You’re such a liar!”

The doctor was shaking him. His whole body ached. He often wound up in this condition after going overboard in battle.

Blade looked around. On the beds to his right and left were Earnest, Leonard, Sophie, and Cú. Most of them were wrapped in bandages and hooked up to IVs.

“Oh, I remember now…”

Blade was confused about where he was. He’d lost his bearings, and now he understood why. Normally, he’d be able to pinpoint where he was within a few meters, even if he’d been unconscious beforehand. But under these circumstances, that was impossible.

“You were dead, you know!”

He’d thought the doctor was a grown woman, but now, as tears streamed from her eyes, she looked like a little girl. She wasn’t all that different from Claire, who stood next to her openly weeping. Both of them looked lost.

“Blade… So you’re back from the dead?” said Yessica as she came over. She wasn’t crying. In fact, she seemed pretty indifferent about the situation. “Your heart stopped and everything. Boy, was I surprised! But the doctor connected you to some machine and did a bunch of stuff to get it working again. Isn’t that great?”

“Yeah… Sorry for causing so much trouble.”

This wasn’t the first time the doctor had resurrected him from the dead. Or the second.

“Want an apple?” Yessica pulled up a chair and began to peel one with her pocketknife.

“How many days have I been out?” Blade asked. He’d completely lost his sense of time and had no idea. Normally, he could tell down to the second.

“It’s still the same day.”

“How’s everyone else?”

“Not too bad. Compared to you anyway… I mean, they’re all alive. Claire’s gonna restore them once she composes herself a little.”

If Claire’s powers were enough to heal them, it meant the damage was strictly physical. Blade breathed a sigh of relief as he accepted a slice of apple. Yessica had cut it to look like a little bunny with long red ears. She placed it in his mouth for him.

“…Don’t do this again,” the doctor said, still choking back tears. “If you pull another stunt like this, you better be ready… There’s no guarantee it’ll turn out like this next time.”

She was rubbing at her eyes like a little kid. Whatever she’d used to paint around them had run down her face, making a big mess.
