A little later that day, the voice of an excited boy could be heard from his hospital room. It made a nurse outside make a startled pause before continuing about her duties.

"You battled today?"

"Yep."

"Wish I could have been there. You won right? You totally kicked butt?"

"Of course."

"That's my big bro. Your skill with my Gunpla? Unstoppable!"

"You bet we are. By the way, um... I'll be battling a lot more in the coming weeks so-"

"You joined another club, didn't you? Don't worry, I'll keep it nice and fixed up. If you're planning to enter the Under 19, you better make sure and tell me when your matches are so I can catch the livestreams!"

"Like I'd forget to do something like that? We're still a team, even if only one of us can battle. It's you and me, got it?"

"Yeah!"

"Oh, um... that Master Gundam you gave me kind of-"

"Lemme see it!"

"Wait, don't-"

"Hey! It's still in pieces! Did you even try to build it?"

"Well..."

"Leave it here with me. I could use something to pass the time while I'm stuck in here."
