"Tohru? Oh, God, Tohru. You're awake. Thank God. Are you ok? How are you feeling? You had all of us so worried. What happened?" Hatori asked, relieved, babbling, unsure how to put into words how relieved he was.
Tohru didn't reply; she just stared at him before she started crying.
"Tohru…" Hatori sighed, pulling a chair over to her bedside and sat down.
"Is it ok if I take your hand?" Hatori calmly asked, watching Tohru; she lifted her hand, allowing him to take it.
"Tohru, it's going to be ok. You've been in a coma for over a week, but you're progress is going smoothly. You being awake, proves that. I'm going to go slow here, but I found you half naked in a dirty ditch filled with water, mud, stick, and a bunch of other things. You had been attacked. Can you tell me what happened? Who attacked you?" Hatori calmly explained before asking, rubbing Tohru's fingers.
"Why? Did I do something wrong? What did I do wrong? Was it because I wasn't ready—because I told him no when he tried? Did he never like me like that? Am I not pretty enough anymore? Why did she do that?" Tohru babbled on and on, tears running down her cheeks.
It took him a minute, but Hatori eventually realized she was asking about what and why Kyo and Arisa did.
"Now, that's enough; calm down. Kyo lost a great girl; he was an idiot. And Arisa lost a great friend. Tohru, you're a beautiful girl; don't let anyone tell you otherwise. I don't know why they did what they did other than they're both selfish and childish. They don't deserve you. People like them don't deserve you or your kindness. Now—how long has Kyo been pushing you for sex? Has he ever forced you into anything you didn't want?" Hatori firmly and sincerely told Tohru before becoming serious.
"Thank you, Hatori. I don't know—a while? Maybe a year or so. We never did that—we never went all the way. It always hurt when he touched me in those places." Tohru softly spoke, tears falling down her cheeks.
"But he never raped you?" Hatori sternly asked, watching Tohru; she shook her head no.
"He's not the one who attacked you, is he?" Hatori asked, trying to calm down.
"No." Tohru answered, unsure, looking up.
Hatori could tell just by looking into her eyes that Tohru wasn't going to be much help at the moment; she had amnesia.
At the moment, he wasn't sure if her amnesia was caused by a head injury, illness/her fever, or emotional shock due to her trauma.
For the moment, Hatori wasn't going to push Tohru; he didn't want to send her spiraling or worse—back into a coma. She was so fragile right now; Hatori didn't know what he'd do if anything more happened to her right now—especially if it were because of him.
"Ok. Your grandfather and I'm sure the others will be here tomorrow. Shoot. I should probably call your grandfather and let him know what's going on. We'll get you taken care of so that you're feeling well enough to go home. What? What's wrong?" Hatori told Tohru but then asked, concerned when she started crying.
"Wh-where is home?" Tohru asked through her tears.
"It's all going to be ok; someone will take you home when it's time." Hatori calmly told her.
"B-b-but wh-where? K-K-Kyo k-k-kick-kicked me out. Uo moo-mov-moving in. H-he ran af-after me and yelled at me. S-s-said Uh-uh-I had to ge-get my st-stuff and le-leave. I-I ca-can on-only go b-b-back for my st-stuff. A-and Grandpa doesn't h-ha-have space." Tohru managed to choke out through her tears just pouring and blinding her.
"Tohru, calm down; you need to breathe. Come on. Shh… It's ok. It's all going to be ok. If you want—I have two spare rooms; you can stay with me." Hatori calmly told Tohru, holding her shoulders, looking into her eyes.
"Uh-uh-are ya-you sure?" Tohru softly asked, shocked, still choking on tears.
"Yes, I'm sure. One hundred percent. If you have nowhere else to go, staying with me is the best thing; it's better than you being homeless. I'll call some of the others and have them get your things from the apartment tomorrow. While your grandfather is visiting tomorrow, I'll have one of the other doctors here check in on you while I help everyone else. You just concentrate on feeling better. Ok?" Hatori calmly but firmly told Tohru.
"Y-ye-yes. Tha-thank you." Tohru stuttered out, tears slowing down—but still there.
"Any time. I'm going to call your grandfather and let him know you're up now. Just rest. Take it easy." Hatori calmly told Tohru, letting go of her hand as he stood up.
"Ok." Tohru softly replied.
Once Hatori left the room, Tohru settled into her bed, got comfy, stared at the ceiling, and started thinking.
'Hatori… He's so kind. I wonder how long he's been taking care of me like this. Now I'm going to be living with him. Oh, no… My heart feels funny and is beating so fast. What's wrong? Am I dying? Should I call for help?' Tohru thought to herself before she began panicking.
However, after a few seconds, she calmed down and was just fine. Confused, but ok.
And then it happened; something ran across Tohru's mind.
"Say anything, I'll cut you. Scream, and I'll cut you."
"That was fun. I think I'll keep you a bit longer."
"Why couldn't you just listen to me?! This would've never happened if you didn't scream!"
"Well—it's been fun. I highly doubt you'll survive. But if you do, don't say anything. I'll know if you do. And if you do, I'll make sure to finish what I started."
Tohru heard her attacker's voice in her head, but she couldn't see his face; it was all a blur.
"Ok… Your grand— TOHRU!" Hatori started only to stop for a split second before running to her.
When Hatori got back to Tohru's room, she was having a seizer…
