[quote=AbigailTenshi] Rio continued to watch in silent agony. This sight... The look of someone she cared so much for.... dying.... in front of her eyes was all just too much for her to handle, yet, she couldn't tear her eyes away, she needed to watch. It was the price she had to pay... for getting too close to someone. Rio should of known... Clearly it must of happened with all of her family and friends since she had none... Getting close to a person would only caused them pain. As she watched patiently, she could hear her own heartbeat in her ears. It thumped anxiously... But then a simple sentence reinforced her hope. She stared at Kaizo more intently. She whispered, desperate for a reaction. [/quote] Ashido continued to heal Kaizo and watch the women and when she spoke he nodded "Yes it seems he is making an improvement...aslong as nothing goes wrong he should be okay..." Ashido continued his healing when he noticed Kaizo's right hand twitch a little "Hmm?...seems he can hear you somehow...keep talking to him, try bring him back...he clearly recognizes your voice." Ashido had only been in a few situations like this but he knew now what helps people and what doesn't. Voices of someone they know can help...a lot more than people think
