As soon as the door closed, and Doctor Ito turned to look at Clementine, she scowled. Doctor Ito, trying to remain a professional appearance, just smiled kindly, although it was obvious to Clementine that it was forced.
"So…" Doctor Ito drawled, walking to the a chair next to Clementine's bed and sitting down. He crossed his legs, folded his hands and placed them on his lap. "I have something rather important to tell you."
Clementine rolled her eyes, and crossed her arms, not saying anything.
"Aren't you a little curious?" He asked, raising an eyebrow. Clem let out a small 'tsk' and a sigh.
"Fine, what is it?"
"So she can speak!" Ito exclaimed rather happily. Again, it was obvious it was forced, but Clem decided to ignore it for the moment. "I can tell you're angry, but I don't understand why. I'm the one who was bitten." Clem flinched.
"Sorry, I guess," Clem said, rubbing the back of her neck. "I panicked."
"Understandable. You said you were last in America, correct?"
Clem nodded, and raised an eyebrow as if to say 'tell me what you wanted to say.' Doctor Ito sighed lightly, before clasping his hands together.
"Put simply you should be dead." The man said bluntly. Clems eyes widened slightly, but not enough to be noticeable.
"What so you mean?" She asked slowly, as if afraid of the answer herself. She knows she should be dead, she was shot in the head after all, so why was this affecting her?
"The bullet in your side," Doctor Ito began, "Went through some major organs. Not to mention, you have something on your scalp, behind the dried blood, that looks like a healed bullet hole
Clementine actually stiffened. 'Shit, shit, shit.'
"By all means, you should be dead." The doctor concluded.
"But I'm not."
"That's the mystery isn't it." Doctor Ito sighed, crossing his arms, and looking to the floor. He hummed for a second, before looking back at Clementine. "Do you have something to tell me?" He asked, staring at the girl. Clem stared back, clenching and unclenching her fists.
"No." Clem stated plainly.
"Oh really? Because I think you have some explaining to do. If it was just the organs,you would be considered very lucky, but it is in your head too. Right in the middle of your brain."
"What do you want me to say? I don't know anything."
Doctor Ito stood up from his chair. "That's where I think you're lying." Doctor Ito stood, walked closer to Clem. "Apparently, according to Suoh, you were nonchalant about being shot, and you spoke about something called a 'walker'."
Clementine stiffened once more, before sighing heavily.
"Fine, you win. I was shot recently, in my head and side. People were angry, they were confused, so they shot me. I died, I know I did, so I don't understand how I'm here- alive." Clem scowled once she was finished with her explanation.
Doctor Ito stared wide eyed at the girl, he was not expecting that. "And you ending up in that alley?"
"Don't know."
"Hm." Doctor Ito walked back and sat back in his seat. He closed his eyes for a second, crossing his arms once more, he was quiet for a few minutes, and Clem continued to stare at the doctor.
"Can you leave now? You got all you wanted to know." Clem asked, crossing her arms as well. Ito looked to Clementine, and shrugged.
"Fine, tell a nurse if you need anything." And just like that, Doctor Ito walked out, leaving Clementine to her thoughts.
Sorry this chapter is so short, but I had no inspiration for this chapter. I may rewrite it later on, so keep an eye on this chapter! The next chapter will be a time skip.
