Yoshiko's POV:

When Ruby had passed out, I had laid her on her bed. I had placed a cold washcloth against her forehead. I didn't know when she would wake up. If she doesn't wake up soon, I'm probably going to have to take her to the hospital. I hope it doesn't come to that.

Ruby groaned. I looked over at her. Looks like she's finally waking up. That's good.

"Ruby? You're awake! Thank god, I was getting worried." I said as I rushed to her side.

Ruby looked over at me. She was staring at me with a little bit of a dazed look on her face. Ruby blinked quickly. I guess he's trying to clear her vision.

"Onee-chan?" Ruby called out in a hoarse voice.

"Ruby… it's me Yoshiko. Not Dia." I replied.

I couldn't help but frown at that. I'm worried about her. She's still acting off. I don't like her mentioning Dia. It makes me worry she's still seeing her.

I took the washcloth off of Ruby's forehead. Ruby then tried to sit up. I could tell she was in pain. Ruby ended up laying down again instead. I sat down beside her. I started brushing her hair, hoping to comfort her. She's been through a lot with everything.

Ruby grabbed my arm and shoved it away from her. I stared at her in shock. Why did she do that? Did I do something wrong? Ruby pushed herself into a sitting position. I could tell she was still in pain doing so. I don't think she should be sitting up.

"Ruby, you shouldn't sit up." I said in a worried voice.

"Leave me alone!" Ruby growled.

"W-what?" My eyes widened.

"This is all your fault!" Ruby yelled.

"What are you talking about?" I asked. I don't understand. Is she just out of it still? Maybe she's not thinking clearly.

"You know what I'm talking about. You're the reason I'm like this! You ruined everything!" Ruby shoved me off the bed.

"Ruby, calm down. You're not thinking clearly." I tried to reason with her. She's getting worked up a lot. I'm worried she'll do something she'll regret.

"Get out!" Ruby screamed at me.

I left the room as quickly as I could. I went down to the living room. I need help. I can't handle Ruby alone any longer. I need someone else to help her. I grabbed my phone. I'm going to see if Kanan can help. She was close with Dia and Ruby, so I'm hoping maybe she could do more than I can.

I called Kanan. She picked up, thankfully. I was worried she wouldn't.

"Hey, Kanan. Um, you got a minute?" I asked.

"Not really. I'm still finishing up at the shop. There's a lot of work I still need to do. I know it's like midnight and all, but I want to get it opened by next week." Kanan replied in a tired voice. She had taken over the diving shop from her family once she graduated school.

"Well, can you make time. I really need you." I pleaded.

"What do you need me for?" Kanan asked.

"It's about Ruby… she's getting worse. I'm worried. I don't think I can do this on my own anymore." I admitted, "Can you please come over to her house?"

"Now?"

"Yes, now." I confirmed.

"I'll see if I can." Kanan said, "I'll text you the result."

"Okay."

We hung up after that. I anxiously waited for the text. I don't know who to ask next if Kanan can't come over. Not too many people are available. Especially ones I'd want.

After a few minutes, Kanan texted me. She said she could come over. I was glad. I really need her. I sat on the couch and waited for Kanan to come. Ruby came into the living room after a while. I didn't see her come down, but oh well. I looked over at her.

She walked up to me. I stood up to meet her. She seems a little better now. Though, it seems she's still in a little bit of pain. I don't know what I can do for her. I just hope she'll be fine until Kanan arrives.

"You feeling better?" I asked.

Ruby nodded, "Yeah."

"So… um… you wanna go back to bed? It's pretty late." I asked.

Ruby shook her head. I wish she'd just go back to bed.

"Then, what is it you want to do?" I questioned.

"Fix this." Ruby stated.

Ruby forced me into a wall and held a knife to my neck. I was panicking as I tried to move away. Ruby had me completely trapped. There is nowhere for me to run. I'm stuck. I don't know what's going on but I'm not liking it.

"R-Ruby, what are you doing?" I asked as I shook with fear.

"Fixing this." Ruby replied, "You've ruined everything. You're trying to make me hurt. I'm going to stop that."

"Ruby, get ahold of yourself!" I pleaded. She's out of her mind right now!

"You're not real… you're just an illusion, so it won't hurt, right?" Ruby smiled a sadistic smile at me.

"R-Ruby… s-stop! I am real. I'm not an illusion. Snap out of it!" I begged as tears started falling down my face. I don't want to die. Kanan, please get here soon. I need you more than before.

"I don't believe you." Ruby stated. That's not good.

Ruby looked like she was going to press the knife into my neck, when she was pulled backwards. The knife was taken from her and tossed away. Ruby fought against who was holding her. Kanan had made it. Just in time too. I could've died if she hadn't shown up when she did.

"Ruby, I'm sorry about this, but it's for your own good." I sighed.

I walked over to her. Ruby fought harder against Kanan. She couldn't get free, thankfully.

"You're getting really bad, Ruby. So, I think it's time we take you to a specialist." I tied her hands together.

I also tied her feet together as well. Kanan set Ruby down on the couch after that. I didn't want to have to restrain Ruby, but I don't want her getting the ability to attack again.

"I'm going to call. Watch her please." I spoke to Kanan and then left the room.

I went to the kitchen and called the hospital. I want to inform them about Ruby. I don't know what they would want us to do. Maybe they'd come get her here? Or we might have to take her there ourselves. Ruby just needs to be restrained for now. She's too out of her mind to be able to roam free.

After I finished the call, I went back to the living room. Kanan was kneeling beside Ruby. She came over to me when I returned.

"What's the plan?" Kanan asked me in a quiet voice.

"They want us to take her to the emergency room. Someone will take her inside from there so she can talk to someone." I explained, "It seems like she'll be stuck in the hospital for a while until they can figure this all out."

"Alright." Kanan sighed.

It was obvious neither of us wanted to have to do that to Ruby. Unfortunately, with how she is acting, we don't really have much of a choice. She needs serious help. She's very crazy.

Did I go wrong somewhere? Wasn't my help making her better? Was she right? Did I just make her worse? I guess I'll find out soon enough.

I walked over to Ruby, "Ruby, we're taking you to the hospital. Someone is going to talk to you about what's going on."

"No! No! I'm not going! Let me go!" Ruby screamed. She really isn't going to take this very well, is she?

"I'm sorry, Ruby. You need this." Kanan said as she picked her up.

"No I don't!" Ruby yelled.

It seems like she's going to fight us the entire way. I wonder just how bad she'll be once she's in the hospital by herself. I hope she'll start calming down and cooperating. I want her to be able to get better fast.

"You can say that all you want. You're going." I stated.

Kanan took Ruby outside. I followed behind her. Kanan put Ruby into her car. I sat beside Ruby and Kanan drove.

It didn't take long before we got to the hospital. Someone came out with a wheelchair. They put Ruby in it. She was untied, but then restrained to the wheelchair. They aren't taking any chances with her either. I guess she is a danger to others at the moment. It's probably for the best they keep her restrained.

Ruby looked at me and Kanan. Neither of us were moving with her as she was taken inside. I guess she's confused about it.

"Aren't you… coming in with me?" Ruby asked.

We shook our heads, "We can't. You have to be alone. We'll be back to visit you once we can."

"Visit me? Wait! You didn't tell me I'd be stuck here!" Ruby started crying. I feel bad. I don't want her to be upset. I would stay with her if I could, but she needs to be alone with the specialists.

"Ruby, you're a little crazy. They'll need to keep you here to help you get better." I said.

"No! No!" Ruby pleaded.

The worker took her inside anyway. Me and Kanan watched as she kept fighting and crying. They are definitely going to have a tough time with her. She doesn't seem like she's going to start behaving anytime soon.

Kanan and I got back into the car. She dropped me off at my house. I walked inside. I feel guilty. I hate that I might've hurt Ruby more than I helped her. Was there anything I could've done instead? The guilt kept me up all night.
