"Tell me something, Viral, are you happier knowing someone has so much information on you, or would you prefer to feel as though some of your life is your own?" Aito asked, frowning as he placed a hand on his hip, "If you wish to know absolutely everything then you've only need to ask, that's all. Or if you want to be kept in the dark on some matters we can do that too. I'll divulge anything pertinent to this recovery process, but nothing more unless you wish otherwise." Realistically he couldn't see any issue with sharing information like this, with Vegeta in the room. While he was sure his son didn't know the full story either, Aito was hard pressed to imagine any ill would become of it. Wandering over to the desk he began to rifle through his pages, trying to find a specific sheet that held some rather important information on it; Viral had shared an important bit of information before, something that could really help matters along here... If only he could find it!

While their father struggled with his ineptitude to file things properly, Vegeta was busy helping Viral go for a short walk. It wasn't going to be anything especially strenuous, but getting up and moving around would help the Beastman a bit, as well as himself. Though both he and Aito were trying to be positive that this was going to work they couldn't deny the unease and stress the work brought on them; it would work, they didn't doubt that, but carrying it out was proving to be taxing. Getting to stretch their legs a little then was a welcome reprieve from the normally tense situations. Focusing mostly on trying to support his brother, Vegeta felt his heart catch a bit in his throat when he was questioned about their past, having known and dreaded it was bound to come up. "I'm not proud of it, I wasn't before and I certainly am not now..." he responded, lowering his gaze shamefully, "I'm so sorry Viral... I know nothing I say now can undo what I attempted, but I really am sorry. I'll do whatever I have to in order to make it up to you now, so if you want or need anything just ask." On top of everything else it was another reason for him to strive to heal Viral, as it was in some way a chance to make amends for past mistakes. Would it undo everything? Of course not, nothing likely would, but it was a good place to start.

"Ah! Found it!" Aito exclaimed abruptly, beaming as he pulled out a folder with several documents inside, "Viral, you gave me an idea earlier, and I may just have the perfect plan for helping you out!" Smiling at his sons, the doctor moved back around the desk and joined them where they stood, opening up the folder and skimming through the sheets. "You make repeated accounts at feeling trapped and isolated, which considering your surroundings as of late are of no surprise. So! My idea is as follows: we reach Uuonoe as planned and carry out your recovery, same as we have been, but we do so in more open air. I don't know these people, but perhaps we could... Borrow some equipment, take a trip out to say... The woods, somewhere where we're not closed in at all. Or even if we went without the machinery we could still focus on some physical therapy. Being out in the sun will help your body's natural recovery reboot as well, and it should expedite the process even further." The alternative then was to go and sit in a medical ward all day, with a tube in his arm and monitors beeping to make sure his condition was stable. While perhaps the safer alternative it was also far less appealing to Viral, and if there was an alternative then Aito figured they would take it.

Takeshi was borderline about to start shouting at Kabocha for putting Shu down, especially pissed since they had been making progress. The little guy could most definitely learn this, he was just the sort of person who needed to be told he was doing well to keep trying; shooting Shu down was the absolute worst thing, because if you said he couldn't then he would begin to think that. Trying to pep his brother back up, the older boy became crestfallen seeing how deflated Shu had become, worried that his sibling wouldn't want to bother with this again for some time. Shooting Kabocha an angry glance for a moment he turned back, just in time to see Shu move back and forth without skipping a beat. Blinking in surprise Takeshi broke into a grin despite Shu being upset, moving over and giving the younger boy a congratulatory smack on the back. "You just did it squirt! You just moved!" he exclaimed, chuckling as he beamed at Shu, "Whatever you just did there, do it again! You can do this, you just showed us you can!"

There was an awful long way to go until he would be cooking for anyone else, but Haku was still excited. His way of cooking before was always terribly simple and unpredictable, knowing a bit more of the science behind things made him wanting to learn more. It was a lot to ask of Kai or Choi to teach him, but where they didn't seem all too enthusiastic to be the group chefs he somehow figured they wouldn't mind as much. Beaming when he was told his food was okay to eat he wasted no time in preparing to do so, scooping his rice out onto a plate and placing the steak right beside it. Having watched Kai turn on everything before he knew precisely what to do now, shutting down the burners he'd used and placing the pans by the sink for the time being. Now that he had food he didn't quite know where to go with it or if he would eat with anyone, glancing between the twins curiously. "Uh... Are you two planning on eating here?" he asked them, hoping he wasn't interrupting their conversation with Yumi too much.

"Oh come on, I'm sure Viral knows exactly who you are," Yumi responded, smiling as she watched Choi get to work, "He's not really that bad, it's not like he totally ignores everyone or doesn't know your names. Maybe he's not the most social, never has been, but that doesn't mean he's a bad guy!" She had plenty of memories of him being wonderful, she knew that underneath all of the pain and sadness her friend bore right now was the same person she adored growing up, and they were going to find him again. To Choi maybe this was just another meal, but for her she hoped it was another of those small steps on the way to Viral getting better. Whatever he had in mind for a meal she was positive it would be fine, having complete trust in Choi's judgement as a chef here. "Thank you for doing this, I can't say that enough Choi. Even if he only has one bite it means he's eating again, and knowing how delicious your and Kai's food usually is I bet he'll have even more then that!"
