Teruya seems to be back to normal

"Normal...? Did something happen?"

"During surgery I was able to figure out what exactly was done to Mr. Otori, He should be okay now."

"Of course I recommend he's careful when wondering about from now on, though i'm sure him doing that in the first place was dangerous already."

"I mean i'll be sure to try but I still have no idea what ya mean by that stuff! I just got told I was being manipulated or something and now this!?"

"I don't know the details but apparently you were brainwashed...for a long while it seems.....And you're sure you don't remember anything from the past few days...?"

"A lot of stuffs blurry, I think i'm remembering a bit though....I-I still can't believe I was brainwashed...Was I not bein careful...?"

[former-proffessor-and-policeman]

What made Teruya change?

"Considering him hearing satsuki and haruhiko...And them telling him to do things they'd never ask of him....I can only assume it was the ai."

"Ai? What ai?"

"...Its mostly classified, but what I can say is its had a history of mimicking the deceased for its own benefit. If it did it again I wouldn't be surprised, but we'll have to wait till teruya's recovered to confirm this is the case."

Veronica Veronica open the door

//I have been waiting to use this one lol

Sora rushed into the hallway easily spotting teruya

"Teruya!"

"Sora, i'm glad to see you again!"

"Teruya!? What's wrong with you, why do your eyes look like that!?"

"What do you mean? My eyes are the same as they've always been."

"Have you looked in a mirror lately? Your eyes are dull, and they've lost some of their color too! "

"...They have-?"

Before sora replied rei exited from the hospital room, overhearing what sora has said she had to see for herself...

"! Teruya...you look like hell! You like you haven't slept in days!"

"Rei too...Yeah i haven't slept, it was keeping me awake."

"What was keeping you awake? Because last time I checked THAT should not be happening to your eyes just because of sleep deprivation!"

"....I dunno why either, I just started hearing things...."

"Hearing things...?"

"Teruya, what exactly did you hear...?"

"Haru..."

"Eh?"

"Haruhiko...And satsuki...They told me, they told me to finish what I started."

"...! Teruya...That wasn't them...!"

"IT WAS THEM REI! I HEARD THEM! I COULD NEVER MISTAKE THEIR VOICES!"

"...But that's not what matters right now, I need to get rid of that wretch.....Please just get out of my way."

"Teruya...."

"You know we can't do that."

"For goodness sake, why are you making this harder then it has to-"

"TERUYA-"

"What the hell...."

“Teruya otori...What is the meaning of this?”

"Nikei? and yuki of all people too!? Your just making this more difficult!"

"Teruya, you are outnumbered. Don't make this difficult and lets get you some help."

"Haha..."

"I don't want to hurt anyone...I'm begging ya not to get in my way...Just let me kill her and lets move on...!"

"Teruya...This doesn't have to get violent. Your not yourself, I know that...And its tempting you with false promises i'm sure....But those voices are not satsuki and haruhiko...They’re gone, but we aren’t....Please don't make us fight...!"

“I don’t...I don’t want to fight either....!..............But.....But they’re telling me.....”

“I have to kill her! She can’t get away with what’s she’s done! That’s what they’re saying right now......!!! And if I have to fight you all to get into that room...then I will..........Please......PLEASE DON’T HOLD ANYTHING BACK ON ME!”

Ryutaro unfortunately failed in locating Keisuke

"We should've expected that but still...I hope this won't upset the others, keisuke means a lot to them."

"We'll keep trying to look for him though, i'm sure keisuke can hold his own until then."

"Its not too much of my business but if it helps I have a few connections, I can try asking them to help look with you."

"We'd really appreciate it, thank you."

[former-proffessor-and-policeman]

what's up with you, tsurugi?

"I'm inclined to ask the same, what the fuck was that tsurugi!?"

"What exactly was I supposed to say there that would've changed anything?"

"ANYTHING that wouldn't have made him RUN AWAY you moron!"

"Uh..."

"Just let it happen..."

"He...He would've run off either way, Sometimes we just can't do anything and that must be accepted."

"but we COULD HAVE done something! We NEED to do something! Were the only few good authority figures yuri has, you realize that don't you? He's constantly being kidnapped and going through-"

"Shit dad."

"Constant injuries."

"Whatever all that was just now."

"Exactly, all of that! And maybe even some other things we don't even know about!"

"So you better listen to me Tsurugi Kinjo, we are going to work our asses off and look for him before that STUPID MOTHERFUCKING ai does, because I will be DAMNED if he gets kidnapped AGAIN because we didn't go after him! Do you understand!?"

"...Understood."

"...Thank you. Now lets get back to work shall we?"

[former-proffessor-and-policeman]

Lock Kanade up as soon as possible, we need answers

"What do you have in mind Ms Chiebukuro?"

"Well, the boss me and nik work for is a leader in a organization, kinda like yours. She specializes in preserving history and rehabilitation, so I think we could put kanna to good use."

"Setsuka are you serious? Theres a good chance we'd have to work with her if we did that."

"True, but its better than wasting her talent. Kanna is really smart, we could use someone like her."

"Are you serious..? Do you actually think i'd work with you bozo's? Plus I don't know if you know this Suka" but i'm a fucking serial killer, so whatever mercy this is I don't want it-"

"Of course I know that i'm not an idiot, You seriously think rugi didn't explain your shady history to me during my interview?"

"I am not trying to spare you of a prison sentence, You don't deserve my kindness after you hurt a multitude of people including your own sister, killed even more leaving their families and friends to grief never knowing the truth of their loved ones death, and the people you left alive suffered for the rest of their lives."

"But I know what you're capable of kanade, I know if you had actually chosen to, or at the very least got mental help you could've done great things for the world. You're a smart individual with decent attack skill, That alone is why I want to put you to use, so at least people can benefit from your skills."

"And I will be clear: My boss is no pushover, she'll whip you right in to shape in no time at all, she did it with nik i'm sure she can do it with you. And she's got plenty of help in putting people like you to use."

"..."

"Well...That does sound like a decent idea, she'd be away from the city too so no risk on our end."

"As long as someone is keeping eyes on her I see no reason not to go with this option."

"So what will it be kanade? A prison cell or Setsuka's option?"

"....Fine. Its better than rotting I guess, as long as I don't get paired with these two."

"Plus I can handle myself just fine against idiots, so i'll be perfectly fine."

"You're not gonna last a day with that attitude."

"He's right, don't think you can act cocky when you start working there. I've seen a bunch of people get their ass kicked for that."

"What kind of facility are you two working at!?"

"And just making sure..She's not going to actually get hurt is she?"

"Nah Nah, she's just gonna get training y'know like you would at a boot camp."

"Oooh."

"Well that sounds better...That is definitely a better option than prison."

"Glad we all agree."

[former-proffessor-and-policeman]

Prison

"Sounds good to me."

"Honestly best possible thing we could do aside from kill her."

"You will not kill one of my patients, lock her up sure...But harm her and I will bring hell onto both of you."

"Holy shit lady!"

"Relax ma'am she'll be charged and imprisoned, nothing more."

"Good, I wouldn't want me and the other staffs hard work to be for nothing."

"We'll ensure Kanade is not harmed anymore, don't worry."

"well that's settled I guess."

"well...That does sound the logical idea...But I have something else in mind."

[former-proffessor-and-policeman]

So what's next?

"Well once Mr Otori's done resting he's free to leave."

"And after that we can head to the hotel and help out."

"But first I have to-"

Nikei And Setsuka entered the room.

"Huh, good timing."

"So did he explain it to you chiebukuro."

"Yeah...Needless to say theres no need to press charges, The murders weren't recent and it was during a stressful time."

"I see...I trust your judgement Chiebukuro, so I won't press further."

"Thank you rei rei."

"Well nikei now that you're available do you want to talk now?"

"Yeah sure, just give me a sec to catch my breath....We came up here fast."

"Sure, by the way sora wants me to come with her when you guys talk, is that okay?"

"That's fine, its not too personal or anything so you can if she really wants you to."

"Alright then."

"I'm glad everything seems to be settling down, now just one more problem.."

"What do we do with kanade otonokoji?"

[former-proffessor-and-policeman]

Rest up firstly Teruya

"Ah yeah, i'm gonna need a bit more rest before I do anything."

"By all means rest as long as you need."

"Ah yes, Mr. Kinjo are you alright you seem confused."

"Ah yes, i'm fine- Yuri just tried to call me but I couldn't hear anything."

"That's weird, maybe it got cut off?"

"Wouldn't it indicate he hung up though? He just said he couldn't hear anything."

"Yeah...Strange."

[former-proffessor-and-policeman]

*shines light on Teruya* Answer the questions rainbow man!

"AH! Bright bright, way too bright!"

"Teruya, you're up!"

"That is quite some timing.."

"Teruya, are you okay?"

"Ayy ruya! You got quite the comedic timing huh?"

"Welcome back to the land of the living dumbass, you missed a lot while you were out."

"HUH!? W-What's going on!? Why is syobai here!?"

"Apparently my services were needed."

"Eh?"

"The important thing is that you're awake Teruya, and you seem better too."

"I mean I gotta bit of a headache and my brain's a bit fuzzy...otherwise that I think i'll be okay. But i'm still confused on what's going on...And wheres my phone?"

"About that...That leads back to what I was saying...I need to explain things, no hiding details this time."

"Details...What details...?"

"I'll get to the explanation."

Rei cautiously explained the situation to teruya while also reciting what had happened with the ai just now and in the past.

[former-proffessor-and-policeman]

Damn Syobai

"..."

"Don't shut up NOW you piece of shit, answer me."

"...Fine, i'll be going. I have better things to be doing then waste my time with criminals."

"But my offers still open, so if any of you wanna chat, call me~!

"Especially you two, Sora, Yomiuri. I'll be waiting."

The phone proceeded to turn to static, while also seeming to short circuit. Quickly afterword the phone screen turned back to a regular lock screen.

"Welp, its gone."

"Thank god..."

"While i'm glad whatever that was is gone, what the HECK was that!?"

"I...guess...ag and kisa have another brother...?"

"What was all that, why was it mentally attacking everyone!?"

"Like I said, its a long story..."

"Well you might as well explain since were all in this shit now."

"Pardon?"

"You heard me, we've all pissed it off and now were in this shit too, so you should explain everything you know, unless you want us all to get mindfucked."

"This bull was supposed to be between you foundation freaks and the fluffball, and now were all in this shit because you guys couldn't do your damn jobs."

"And along with that, me and sora are now possibly being targeted! I didn't sign up for this shit!"

"Cmon Nik, calm down a bit i'm sure no one in specific is being targeted-"

"IT SAID BOTH OF OUR NAMES SETSUKA I THINK I HAVE THE RIGHT TO BE PISSED RIGHT NOW!"

"Why did you even let it talk for that long? Syobai has a point, We allowed it to speak and now it has more leverage to use against us."

"And its definitely planning something, and none of its good...The least you could do is explain."

"You're right...You're all right. I'll explain everything-"

Teruya began to stir in his sleep, indicating he's waking up.

"Gah..."

[former-proffessor-and-policeman]

What's the ai gonna do?

"Just have a conversation is all~"

"You...If you get near either of them i'll-"

"And what are you going to do to stop me hm? I have the whole world wide web at my disposal, what do you have miss rei? a phones off button?"

"I have no intent to listen to a worthless woman like you, The only good thing you've done is allow me to speak right now."

"....."

"You stopped talking? Great,now you're more bearable."

"Back to what I said earlier, I think I can make some of you worth my time...If you're willing to listen-"

Suddenly the hospital room's door was slammed open, syobai showing up...And accidently hitting poor megumi.

"Alright, i'm here what the fuck is going on?"

"Syobai!"

"What the, has he been around whole time? What kind of nurse are you allowing a broker in your hospital!?"

"Eeh!? Wait Wait, first off he's a broker!? Second, OW!?"

"I shouldn't have to answer that, your responsible for the hospitals safety. And watch where your standing next time why don't ya?"

"S-Syobai the phone..."

"Huh? oh yeah the voice just now...that was akane taira's yeah? lemmie guess your a ai of some sort impersonating her?"

"I-"

"Don't start, I know enough from the shit I overheard out there. I have no fucking clue why they let you talk bullshit for so long."

Syobai swiftly took the phone from rei

"Hashimoto...?"

"Syobai be careful!"

"I'm not even worried, plus this thing has got nothing on me."

"Now listen here, You are going to fuck right off, right now. You are not going to visit anyone and you'll tell juu he better have an army because we, especially me will be coming for his ass."

"And what makes you think i'll do that? You think your words frighten me...? I can easily make you shiver just like them if I wanted to, you weren't exactly discreet about your past in the simulation after all."

"...So your going to pull that bullshit huh? fine, i'll be serious then."

"You fuck off right the hell now or else it won't matter where you go I WILL track you down and it does not matter who's fucking house you show up in, I WILL be there first and I swear to god I'll give you a taste of your own medicine so badly you'll WISH you were still in that usb, you understand?"

[former-proffessor-and-policeman]

Do Sora, you still look beautiful

“Thank you, though I was never too worried about that.”

Rei finally enters the room

“It seems almost everyone is awake.”

“Yup.”

“Were waiting on teruya now.”

“He’s been asleep for awhile now, I don’t understand why he stayed up all night if this mission was so important to whoever did this to him.”

“Maybe theres a reason?”

“I mean...there might be..Right Rei?”

“Yes...I think before interrogating teruya, theres something that must be done.”

[former-proffessor-and-policeman]

Maybe Sora can cure Teruya with a kiss

“Don’t mind If I do.”

“Please let him wake up on his own.”

“But I don’t want to wait, besides I still need to talk to him about something.”

“Well he needs to recover from a day without sleep, you can wait a hour or two.”

[former-proffessor-and-policeman]

Megumi! Get a sedative or something!

"Right!"

Megumi now safely could walk toward teruya and give him a sedative shot, it took a bit but teruya inevitably fell asleep.

"There."

"So, Is that it did we win?"

"Yes, I think we can safely call this a victory."

"That's nice and all but you and him need surgery, stat."

"Right, and afterwords we'll need to do another interrogation."

"Yeah...So uhm, Could you and that other guy help me get these two into a surgery room?"

"Oh uh, sure."

"Of course."

"Uh but...what about me and setsuka?"

"Oh right! If you don't mind, could you try getting her into another room?"

"I'm not really that strong but..i'll try."

"Thank you."

"Now cmon people lets go go go!"

With that nikei helped sora to a surgeory room while rei carried the now unconcious teruya into another, Megumi followed close behind and yuki tried to get setsuka into a regular checkup room.

[former-proffessor-and-policeman]

Megumi, do you have anything that can knock someone out?

"I have a sedative but-but I can't give it to him if he's going to try to run...!"
