Cortez simply mumbled like a sad child, "Sorry, aye..."

Ryuu was relieved to have finally get some treatment. He had followed the orders somewhat densely, but willingly as well. His back facing the ground, he felt his wounds being... fixed up, so to speak. It sort of reminded him of how those Medics in Starcraft healed Terran Marines with some random gadget on their hands, except this healing magic was actually coming out from her [i]hands[/i]. The feeling was pleasant, and it seemed to bring even more life to the plasma within him.

The otaku turned to Adenine, who began to talk about her past. It surprised him, actually. She was a pretty girl who practically could not remember anything about her past life. Ryuu had it easy. All of his memories came to be when he was seven years old, and he remembered mostly everything around that time. To not have a past like everyone else would was a terrifying thing.

[i]Let them say what they want,[/i] Ryuu thought solemnly. [i]The past is never a thing that people should move on from. To not have that past is even worse.[/i]

[i]Kinda like how I don't remember how my lil' sis died around my middle school years. It scares me.[/i]

She seemed to recollect some peculiar memories, such as getting love letters. She was even a student body government's president! Boy, he was darn lucky to have met a girl that was smart [i]and[/i] from an anime-

[i]Ryuu,[/i] he thought to himself, [i]Shut the f-ck up.[/i]

Ryuu continued to let Adenine heal him, and would eventually stand up once she was finished. Cortez, on the other hand, simply tugged at David's shirt with a bright, yet humorously fearful look.

"Matey, this captain needs her crew to move confidently, I'm afraid... aye."

Indeed, she had some sort of trauma with going alone. Every time her father went out for a mission all by himself, he came back with most of his limbs disassembled for unknown reasons. She did not want to end up like that, which made her stick with others as much as possible. She still wanted to go to the infirmary.
