... Well, I sure feel painful. I'm also in a hospital. Domino hospital.

Guess I should've seen that coming.

[Event]

*As Shinji said, he's in the hospital, confined to his bed. He seems a little out of it, if you go and see him, but that's understandable. He looks like some giant creature went ahead and stepped on him repeatedly.

At the current moment, he's staring up at the ceiling, thinking. Worrying. ... Perhaps expecting something.*

Mm...

I'm likely to be in the hospital at least. For a few days. The doctor... Really wants to make sure I'm fine, since I should've been in a worse state than I ended up in, with how I looked.

I wonder if my parents will try to come visit.

Your parents...?
Well, if they know you're in here, they'll visit, right?

They should know I'm here, at least. The doctor said they'd have to contact them to make sure my medical records were in order, and since I'm a minor, as well.

That and, well... I do need to tell them I need a new pair of glasses, now. *rubs a little around his eyes.*

We're at least in a stable spot, so they should be able to take time to come visit. ... Hopefully. *it's not a tone of not expecting them to come. it's a tone of "I really hope I'm not being a big burden on them".*

I'm sure they'll come visit.

You've never talked much about your parents actually... what do they do?

Mm... My mom's an office worker. My dad works as a camera man for a television station.

They're... alright. A little strict. They always made the idea of earning what you want and need out of your own ability, important to me.

They sound like they care for you and want you to do your best, so I'm sure they'll take the time to visit.

What are you going to tell them happened if they do visit though? I guess "I was crushed by a large monster" wouldn't exactly be the best thing to tell them...

That's... admittedly something I'm dreading.

The doctor here kinda understood what happened, because it's a little bit more normal, now. But I don't know if they'd believe it, unless if they saw it with their own eyes.

And if they believe it, they'd probably wonder if it's really best for me to stay here, or take my chances back home.

Hm... it is a difficult thing to explain to those who don't really understand the city and what can happen here...

... and I guess saying you were hit by a car would be a bit fishy since they'd expect more injuries. Though, there have been people lucky enough to walk away almost unscathed by such events in the past. I think it depends on how fast the car was going and where it hits...

*It looks like she's putting a lot of thought into this and like she's logically trying to think of a way for you to lie to your parents and make it believable.*

... I guess I could always try the truth, you know. My dad... He isn't "normal", so he might understand it enough, that things like this could happen.

I'd just feel bad trying to lie to them, when they're probably worried about what happened to me.

Ah, that's true. He is a part of your family too, so I guess he would know a little about how odd things can be.

The truth is always the best way to go. Though... I guess I can't really say anything on that. I spent a good majority of the time at the duel academy hiding a lot of things about myself from the other students... and all it ever did was make things worse.

Sometimes, it's sorta unavoidable. There's no way to guess how people will react to anything.

Not that I'm the best example of honesty, either, since I'm hiding what I can do from most people, but... My parents at least do deserve to know what's going on, even if it's hard.

*Ruka smiles a little and nods.*

I agree. I hope it goes well with them.

I hope so too.

*sighs* Though I imagine that even with saying a giant monster crushed me, they'd probably be wondering too why I'm not in a worse state.

That's true.
Do they know about your power at the moment?

They... Know I can talk to spirits. And they know I can do minor things, like how I could bond and channel them, but nothing to this kind of extent that happened.

I see.
I guess you aren't too sure about telling them about the card you used?

*shakes his head*

I'd rather avoid doing that, if I can.

*Ruka nods.*

I guess if they question your lack of injuries, all you can do is play dumb a little and just say you don't know yourself.

I guess. In a way, it is at least the half-truth of it.

That's true.
