Viral really didn’t want people worrying over him or wondering if he would ever get through this, knowing it was just a ploy to make sure he wasn’t going to go off and end it all. They were always constantly trying to make sure he was alright and he wished they didn’t need to, knowing all it managed to make him feel was like a child. He didn’t care about the pain at this point, especially when he was constantly in pain and struggling to feel normal again. It was too difficult to keep his mind off it, but he didn’t need to give everyone else a hard time or crippling depression all because he wasn’t feeling well. Looking to Yumi before going through the door he sighed, lowering his head. “You may say that, but I find it hard to believe you know what I’m facing”, he spoke calmly, giving her a quick look, “Even I don’t know what it is or what’s coming for me. I’m stuck wondering what’s going to happen to me next. There’s parts of me that I don’t even know what they belong to sticking out of me. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised if I start forming metal skin or something…”

Choi didn’t know why Vegeta was so adamant about making things better for Viral when he barely spent any time with his actual patient that didn’t involve being for medical reasons. He should really be keeping an eye on him if he was trying to treat him and yet he hanged around in the lab all day, not caring that Viral probably hated that place like anyone else who wasn’t a scientist. It wasn’t going to work, but of course Vegeta would never admit it wouldn’t. To leave someone alone with somebody who probably didn’t know how to spot symptoms of depression, even if he did admire Yumi’s efforts to keep everyone happy. Raising an eyebrow when Vegeta could only deny any involvement in social activities he scratched his head. “And you’re giving him his treatment? That’s kind of scary”, Choi said, looking elsewhere, “I mean, if I was receiving treatment but my doctor didn’t talk to me much, I’d be pretty freaked out over what he was doing most of the time. It’s like waiting in a room by yourself and being completely unaware of what’s happening on the other side of the door, yet whatever it is decides whether you live or die”.

Kai didn’t know if he’d enjoy cheap food but if Kabocha said it was good then he guessed he would eventually have to try it. He didn’t mind cheap food so long as he didn’t need to cook it. “Well, if I had money then I’d surely try it, but it’s easier to make rather than buy something at this stage”, he spoke calmly, letting out a sigh, “We were even planning on building the house over buying materials for it…” He quite liked the idea of making a house, especially when his family seemed to be good at doing just that. He was not much of a carpenter but he was a cook and figuring out how to make a house was very much the same as making a meal worthy for a King. “It does kind of suck, actually. It’s a lot of time out of my day to get nothing for it, not even a thanks sometimes. Maybe if we were getting paid it wouldn’t feel so laborious…”

Shu was getting all excited over T’charrl being normal, but he was still feeling a little sad that he wouldn’t be a mountain of fur for now. At least he could wrap his arms around him now. Seeing him lying on the ground like that made him worry that he was going to feel sore too, but other than the wound on his back he seemed okay, all except how hungry he was. Squeaking, Shu immediately stood up as Takeshi suggested finding fruit, getting all excited up until he was told not to eat the fruit. “Ooh! I get fruit for Friend, but it be lots of fruit too so maybe some left for me!” Spring off he jumped into the trees again, looking back to Takeshi curiously, “C’mon! Swinging through trees now!”

T’charrl still couldn’t quite get into his head that he was normal, but then again it didn’t feel any different to having all of that energy built up inside him. He wasn’t going to remain like this forever, he knew he would have to master changing back and hopefully control his changes permanently. It was like a memory that was never going to fade, unlike the one of himself that was forced out by corruption. Looking to Shu and Takeshi for a moment he soon let out a sigh, moving his other arms as if trying to rest to see if they still worked. He had only just gotten used to them being so low down and now they were back in their original places, something that would definitely confuse him later. Keeping fairly quiet his eyes soon shifted to Haku, asking a question that he really didn’t know the answer to. “Uhh, I don’t know. I need to get up…” he spoke, looking to the grass, “I-I need to get ready…to go see my parents…”
