The familiar stench of the hospital's disinfectant hit her nostril as she breathed in. Miku sighed. It wasn't that she hated the hospital or anything. But how long had she already been staying there? A week? A month? She did not count.

All she knew was that she was sick of the place, the smell. She was not sick, but she had to continue to live in that place. They claim to her that her injuries had yet to be recovered, but she felt nothing at all. No more pain, except for the pang of guiltiness that would always strike her whenever she look at the bandages on her in the mirror.

Why hadn't she died?

She stares into the mirror. Her lifeless eyes looking back at her.

It would not had mattered if she had died anyway. She had already prepared for it. But neither of them died. She had supposingly slipped into a coma after that incident. After she woke up, she learned of the news that they had moved overseas after Kaito recieved treatment for his injuries that Miku caused. Surprisingly, they said nothing about Miku being the cuplrit and lied that they had accidentally injuried themselves.

"Why, Kaito?"

She shut her eyes as the scene replays itself through in her head again. She had already watched this scene for countless times. The first few times that it replayed, Miku went practically crazy and her crying was heard all over the hospital. She had to be held down and tranquilizers had to be given to her. She dared not say anything about it when the doctors asked about it.

She was a coward. And she knew it, more than anyone else.

"Hatsune-senpai?"

Miku did not move nor open her eyes. She knew who that voice belonged to. She replied calmly, "Kagamine-san, why are you here again?"

She met him on the hospital's rooftop a few days later after she went 'crazy'. She was crying up there. It was evening and she did not think that anyone would be up there. She did not want anyone to see her crying lest they ask her questions again. The young man had his eyes wide open, as if shocked. Miku was worried that he would call a nurse up here any moment and walked as fast as she can to the rooftop's exit despite the pain from her injuries. However, the young man pulled her into an embrace just right at the point of time when she was walking pass him. Shocked, she tried to push him away, but the pain in her arm was too painful for her to exert any strength to do so.

"I... finally found you... Hatsune-senpai..."

Then, she realised, the young man was shaking. No, he was crying.


I wrote this out of a whim while watching ReAct repetitively and I'm not sure if I know how to continue this so I'll just leave it here until I get the 'feeling' on how to write the next chapter (laughs)
