Chaos herself's note:
Part 2/2 of today's update. Also, quite short, I know... Have fun nontheless. :)
...
The operation had been a success, Arthur told him. Despite of that fact he didn't quite feel like it. There were too much pain and exhaustion, so he had slept for two days in a row.
After that, his big brother took him along to stay with him. He should start with rehabilitation gymnastics as soon as possible and a voice trainer would work with him, too. The efforts would be great and painful hard work, but he wanted to talk and walk again quickly.
He wanted to show Gilbert.
He wanted to go visit his friend, have a nice chat, go to the park and joke around….something like that.
The nightmare kept coming then and there, and by now he was sure, he had in fact been calling for Gilbert in the dark. So he figured, he could only calm down properly afterwards with the silver blonde man around, his relative wasn't enough. He needed his family, but it wasn't enough. Arthur wasn't enough.
There was still something missing that could only be filled in by a friend.
And this friend was Gilbert. He understood now, this was exactly the meaning of what the German had told him that day. That's why he intended to recover quickly and return.
