2:12 PM

A young man with brown hair and sorrowful green eyes walked slowly through the waiting room holding a small bouquet of assorted flowers. He walked right past Konata, Sojiro, and officer Vickery, only pausing to glance at the officer before continuing down the hall.

"Who was that?" Sojiro asked officer Vickery.

"I don't know." Chris said. "But it looks like he was headed towards Yui's room." He said as he got up and followed a bit of a distance behind the man. Sure enough, after speaking shortly with a nurse, the strange man opened Yui's door and walked in.

"Excuse me, nurse?" Chris asked.

"What can I do for you officer?" The nurse asked on her way down the hall.

"Who was that man you spoke to just now?" Chris asked.

"Oh, he said that he knew the woman in that room." The nurse said. "He also asked for something to put those flowers in. He looked really distressed, didn't he?"

"Yeah. Thanks." Chris said as he moved past the nurse and watched the man discreetly through the window.

"I can't believe this." The man sighed, rubbing his forehead with his free hand. "God, I don't even know where to start."

"Yui, do you know this man?" Kanata asked.

"I can't really remember him that well, but I know I've seen him." Yui said as she tried to remember where she had seen this man before.

"I guess the only thing I can really start with is my sincerest apologies." The tired-looking man said with a sigh. "At the very least, I already took care of that ticket." He chuckled.

"Oh!" Yui exclaimed.

"You know who he is?" Kanata asked.

"Yeah! That's the guy I pulled over right before the accident!" Yui said. "What was his name again? Kyle something…" She said, knocking her head lightly in an attempt to remember. "Oh yeah! Queens! His name is Kyle Queens." She said.

"I still can't believe what happened." Kyle sighed. "I didn't see anything, and I didn't even hear about it until I got home after paying for the ticket. Hell, I only learned your name through the accident report." He said, a tear falling down his cheek. "I can't help but feel responsible for this whole thing." He sighed. "If I hadn't been speeding, you wouldn't have had to pull me over. Then you wouldn't have been in the road when that drunk came around."

"Excuse me." The nurse from earlier said as she went to move by officer Vickery. She was holding a small purple vase with blue butterfly patterns on it.

"It's okay." Chris said. "I'll take it in to him." He said as the nurse handed him the vase.

"Thanks." The nurse said with a smile before turning away to check on another patient.

"I mean it all kind of comes back to me." Kyle said, shaking his head. "If not for me, you would still be okay."

"Hey." Chris said as he shut the door behind him, surprising Kyle.

"Oh! Hello officer." Kyle said when he turned around and saw Chris's uniform.

"Sorry, I know I'm not a relative. I'll just be going now." Kyle said as Chris stopped him.

"Don't worry about that." Chris said as he handed Kyle the vase.

"Oh. Um, thank you." Kyle said as he took the vase from Chris. "So I take it you're one of her colleagues on the police force." He said as he put the flowers into the vase.

"I was her partner." Chris said. "Still am, technically." He sighed. "And I hope to be her partner for some time to come as well."

"I can't possibly apologize enough." Kyle said. "If I hadn't been speeding, she wouldn't have been where she was."

"That was you in the red car we pulled over?" Chris asked.

"Y- yeah." Kyle said as he put the vase down on the end table next to Yui's bed.

"Chris, please don't be too hard on him." Yui pleaded. "He's been hard enough on himself from the looks of things."

"Look, I'm really sorry about everything that happened." Kyle said. "It's all my fault that this happened to her."

"Look at me." Chris said.

As Kyle turned around, officer Vickery swiftly backhanded him across the face. "OW!" Kyle exclaimed.

"Chris!" Yui exclaimed.

"It wasn't your fault." Chris said, putting his hand down and sighing.

"But-" Kyle tried to protest.

"No. It wasn't your fault. After some reflection, I realized that it wasn't my fault either." Chris said. "She was… No. She is a police officer. This kind of thing is an occupational hazard. We can't help her through this by blaming ourselves." Chris said. "The best thing we can do for her right now is wait and keep hoping for her to pull through."

After a long pause, Kyle finally spoke again. "Thanks." He sighed. "I needed that. I don't think I'm going to stay here though. I just don't feel like I belong."

"That's fine." Chris said with a nod. "I'll bet Yui never expected you to be here to begin with. It means a lot that you came regardless."

"He's right." Yui said. "You don't even really know me. The fact that you came says a lot about you. Thank you Queens-san."

"I just wish I could help more." Kyle sighed.

"Don't worry about it." Chris said as he led Kyle out of the room. "For now though, how about you take a break with us in the waiting room."

"Oh no, I couldn't." Kyle said. "It just doesn't feel right."

"I understand." Chris said. "I'll probably be leaving soon too. Have a good day Mr.…"

"Queens. Kyle Queens." Kyle said.

"Alright Mr. Queens. My name is Chris Vickery. Hopefully we'll see each other again under better circumstances."

"Agreed." Kyle said as he shook Chris's hand and left the hospital.

"That was very nice of him to show up." Kanata said.

"Yeah. I'm really surprised about it. He even brought flowers." Yui said happily.

"He seems like a good person." Kanata said as she noticed Yui tense up a little bit. "Yui? What's the matter?"

"I don't know." Yui said. "I think I feel something… Something not very good."

"I think I feel it too." Kanata said. "I could be wrong, but I think your little sister might be in the building now."
