"Eh, I'll keep that in mind, and again I'll likely be making sure it's only me who has to deal with it in the end." Kouta responded, once again showing a blatant disregard for his own well-being. "Besides, what I choose to do really shouldn't be of your concern anymore, your babysitting period is about to end, no?" he added, after all, she was supposed to be partnered with Kazuna, Miyuki was only around him until he got his bearings.

"But enough of that, while I'm here I may as well just tell you the progress on that assignment you gave me." Kouta spoke up suddenly, forcing a topic change. "Of course I haven't really thought up of a complete answer yet but I do kinda get what you've been getting at."

"Answer." she said at once.

"The contradiction lies in that I have to beat someone stronger by not being weaker, correct?" Kouta began, he was having trouble forming the words and kinda paused awkwardly for a bit before speaking up again. "Obviously, this means I need to challenge him on a field where I'm technically the stronger one." he continued, rubbing the back of his head for a bit. "Of course, I still haven't figured out much else beyond this...I know what to do but not 'how' at the moment."

"Well, you're making progress at least." she mused.

So he was actually taking his lesson seriously? Who'd have thought. Well, at least that was one thing to brighten up the dreary day. Although the fact he decided not to go with the contemptible martial arts instructor had basically hospitalised her for no real reason, the fact he was actually thinking for himself put her more at ease somewhat.

"Well, the only way to find out if you're correct is to try to apply it in real time. You'll find the answer in your next training session." she said with a slight, almost imperceptible smirk. "Be prepared for it."

"Another ass-kicking at the hands of my favorite cute BOARD employee? I'm looking forward to it." Kouta stated simply enough, back to his usual goofy grin. There was a lot more to him then he let on, apparently, though how much more was another story. "Well, anyway, I had one other idea but it doesn't suit me as much..." he concluded, but he figured he didn't need to say it.

Either way, he got up from the seat...and pulled out another can of strawberry milk from his jacket pocket and suddenly tossed it to the woman. "Guess I'm done here? For now just drink up so you can recover quicker~" all the while he had given her a thumbs up.

Miyuki blinked. Her impaired motor reflexes made her to fumble with the can for a moment as she caught it, causing her to give her hands an annoyed stare. She just shook her head and sighed. Yeah, she'd have to wait abit before being in a condition to go.

She took solace in the fact that at least it was strawberry milk, and she enjoyed how cold to the touch the can seemed to be for a moment, before lifting the tab and downing the contents.

...It was good.

"...Heh, Kazuna was right, you really aren't honest with yourself." Kouta teased as he stood up from his seat. "You'd probably be a little cuter if you were too." he mused, before turning to leave. "Well, gotta get going, got work that needs to be done." he stated simply enough as he began walking out the door.

"Mind your own business." she muttered to herself as Kouta left, and then going back to the strawberry milk.

A revolving door of pleasantry. Or so he'd say. One left and with the passage of time another arrives. Jameson scanned the list of visitors and smiled. "Kouta..?" He brushed back his hair. "I'm glad.." He said softly.

~Years ago~

Jameson laid in his bed, ahead wrapped in bandages. One eyes staring at the ceiling. The door slowly opened. He raised himself up with a goofy grin. However the person who entered merely walked past to a nearby bed. Back then he couldn't afford a private room. Back then he had waited patiently for three days. He pulled out his cell phone cycling through the options.

Messages: 0

Jameson's eye narrowed. He raised a hand to his bandaged pulling them away and turned to the mirror. Within he saw a horrific image. His psychosis was at its peak at that time. Zorc's madness had been at him at all times. So at first he didn't believe it. However running his fingers across the grotesque scar he could only surrender to the truth.

"I need a badass eyepatch." He said to himself with a frown.

~Present~

He shook his head a bit and turned to gaze down the hall. He knew she hated him. He knew she didn't want him to come and even if he did it wouldn't mean anything. It wouldn't change it, right? Did he even want to change it? Soon the ending would arrive and whether he and she were friends really didn't matter to him as much as other things.

He wanted things. But her approval wasn't one of them.

Or maybe that was what he told himself out of fear of rejection? He could just be setting up elaborate defenses because he desperately wanter to reconnect but the fear of her absolutely denying him was so great that he just explained the desire away. Damn! The only emotions he didn't get were his own. He took a deep breath. He was here. He obviously wanted to see her.

.... The idea of seeing her crippled certainly helped. It was just too amusing.

Jameson wandered to her room.

He opened the door.

He closed the door.

"PFFFFFT." The noise spurted from him undesired. "Both her legs? Seriously? Hahahah!" He said chuckling. "What was she doing? Jumping off cliffs with a dude on her back as a landslide chased her like a bad action sequence in a movie? Oh man it was priceless..

He coughed and composed himself.

He opened the door.

"Isn't it weird how doors backdraft closed like that?"

"Your excuse work better if the room actually had a window and weren't in the middle of a building you now." she noted with a raised eyebrow. "Didn't think I'd see you in here."

She held on to the can, still half filled because she preferred to enjoy it slowly, and held as a Japanese person might hold a cup of tea, resting it on her lap. It was almost odd. The air around her really did seem somewhat relaxed and at ease compared to before, the sort that Jameson would only have seen when she was sleeping.

Jameson stepped into the room slowly. "It'd make even more sense if it weren't stupid." He said with a grin. He walked towards the bed with a small frown. "I didn't bring flowers.." He stated bluntly. "I mean I don't even know if you like them. Selene always brings them when I'm hospitalized but she is also British." He said as if it explained everything perfectly and needed no further comment.

He stopped and wrung his hands a bit. He seemed uncomfortable. His single eyed gaze drifted across the room. "Oddly It feels more like home here than your room at my dorm.." He said before hitting his forehead. "Hah, well of course it does. That place wasn't really a home.." He trailed off. "Anyhow. I just dropped in. I have all this free time, you see." He said sardonically.

".... You Okay?"

"You're pretty bad with smalltalk." she observed, then smirked as she went back to sipping her milk. "It's better you didn't bring flowers anyway. I have a pollen allergy. Besides, in Japanese culture, giving flowers to someone in the hospital means you want them to stay there."

With how relaxed she was sitting upright on the bed, you'd almost think it was a different person from the one who stood around him years ago. Well, that wasn't really true, but she'd never really allowed herself to relax while working anyway.

"I'm pretty much fine, I can't really feel my legs, but the pain will be bothersome once the nerves heal up." she explained with a casual shrug "So... saying this place is homey and this talk of bringing flowers.. are you saying you want me to stay here?"

The last part was just teasing really, and she didn't really bother to hide it.

"It'd probably be for the best.. At least here you're safe." He said as he folded his arms across his chest. "Breaking your legs like this and pushing yourself so far.. I wonder if the situation you were in really was so drastic that it was warranted.." He said shaking his head almost amused. He stepped closer towards her position but as he did so he shifted and looked to the wall. "Oh well,At least your pain will go away when the injury heals.."

The burning of his knee moved to the forefront of his mind. His lips pursed together as his brow furrowed before he shifted his gaze to her. "You should be grateful. One bad break and that's it.." He said snapping his fingers. "What were you even doing that was so dramatic?" He said, perhaps being a bit too forward in his questioning but something in her demeanor seemed to aggravate him.

Something in how she acted seemed to pick at the back of his mind. To be honest he was almost a little sad at how different she acted. It was lonely in a way. Like going back home and realizing how small your bed is. A feeling that things are different than how they were when you were familiar with them.

"Keeping an idiot out of trouble." she rolled her eyes. "I guess some things never change."

She shrugged again, and then finished off the last of the milk, carefully setting it on the table rather than throwing the can away. She still seemed pretty relaxed about it all the same.

"I'm not really the sort who'd stay here long anyway. I'm pretty restless, you know that." she joked somewhat, although it was still the truth.

"If I recall correctly I never got you hospitalized.." He said rubbing his neck sheepishly. An idiot out of trouble. Such perfect phrasing. He placed a hand on his side. "Yeah.. I didn't figure you'd stay here for long. In oyur own way you're doing what you can to save the worlds. Still.. It seems working for BOARD sure is dangerous.." He said idly. "I've been doing a lot on my own.. I considered joining but.." He shifted a bit. "Well., It's irrelevant why I decided why I am continuing in this way." He held his arms with a small smile.

"Somehow I wound up at the heart of Arcadia. Not to mention my duty to find Ewan's girlfriend.." He stooped and groaned. "Yeesh.. what an incident that was.." He said laughing a bit. "A yakuza tried to bribe me for my partner! You should have seen how she reacted." He said holding his hand over his face laughing. "And then Ewan.. That guy is a complete doofus.." He said shaking his head. "He's like kouta! He's got the same sort of confidence and style.."

"They both sure are weak though.." He rubbed his neck. "It's kind of disarming having to worry about protecting two untrained weak kids all day."
