When the visiting hours were over, Michiru was forced to leave the hospital. Haruka had refused to talk to her after the blonde had found out that she would never be able to see again. Finally, Michiru left in tears – and filled with hate for the man who had done this to her poor lover. Just as the aqua haired girl thought about many gruesome ways to kill the guy off, the doors of the elevator opened, and two police officers came walking out. "Miss Michiru Kaioh?" One of them, a tall man with shortcut, brown hair asked. "Yes?" Michiru answered. "How can I help you?" The second officer, a young woman with blonde hair, cut very much like Harukas, answered: "We are here to ask Miss Tenoh a few questions about the driver who blinded her." "I don't think that Haruka wants to talk to you right now." Michiru answered softy. "She just kicked me out, so I guess that she won't talk to you." "Let me talk to her first." The woman spoke to her partner, completely ignoring Michiru. The manly officer nodded, and his female partner started to move towards Harukas room when Michiru grabbed her arm. "Don't go inside." The aqua haired woman said sternly. "I told you that Haruka won't talk to you." "Let go of me, or I'll arrest you for civil disorder." The officer answered, looking directly into Michirus eyes. The aqua haired woman hesitated for a moment, then let go off the officer. "Thank you." The blonde woman said before she entered Harukas room.
"Who's there?" the blonde asked when she heard the door open. "I'm police officer Yukio Saeba." The woman introduced herself. "I want to talk to you about the man who did this to you." "Get out." Haruka answered, but she sensed that the officer was still in her room. "Are you deaf?" the blonde now snapped. "I said get out!" "I can't, I'm sorry." The woman answered gently. "If you don't tell us where we find the driver who…blinded…you, we won't be able to arrest him for what he did." "And I don't want you to arrest him." Haruka answered softly. "I'll kill him myself." "And go to prison? Not a good idea." Yukio protested. Haruka just shrugged while the pain in her eyes increased. "They wouldn't sent me to prison. After all, I'm blind. They'd send me somewhere else." "You would get your revenge…but think about Miss Kaioh too." Yukio gently said, only to be rewarded with Haruka snapping at her: "Leave Michiru out of this!" "Then tell me where we find the driver!" Yukio snapped back. Haruka sighed, and there was silence for a few minutes. Finally, the blonde spoke, in a tired, flat voice. "He lives in Ryo Street, house number 24, apartment number 2a." "Thank you." The officer said. She turned to leave, hesitated and then spoke: "I'm sorry that this happened to you." Haruka didn't answer, and so Yukio left.
"I have his address." Yukio said as she came walking out of Harukas room. Michirus eyes went wide; she couldn't believe it. "Good." Yukios partner now said, "let's get going and arrest that freak." Yukio nodded, and the two of them left. Michiru, on the other hand, looked around if a doctor was in sight, found out that there wasn't any and quickly made a beeline for Harukas room. As soon as she entered, Haruka spoke up: "Michiru?" "Yes." The aqua haired girl answered softly. She walked over to the bed and took a seat next to it. "I'm sorry for kicking you out before." Haruka said hoarsely. "But…I…" Her voice started to tremble, then broke into a desperate sob. "Oh, Haruka…" Michiru whispered, stroking her love's blonde hair. „I can't take this." Haruka whispered while tears ran out from underneath the bandage that covered her eyes. "I can't take it to be blind…to never see your face again…never drive a car again…" Michiru closed her eyes, trying to hold back the tears. She failed.
Finally, Michiru had to leave, since the doctor caught her in Harukas room. The nice man thought about scolding her for a second, but then he saw her red eyes and decided against it. "Please, Miss Kaioh, you have to go now. Miss Tenoh needs her rest." Michiru nodded, kissed Haruka goodbye and left. The doctor wished Haruka a good night, but before he could leave, her voice stopped him. "Doctor…" "Yes, Miss Tenoh?" the man asked friendly. Harukas next words shocked him so bad that he almost suffered a heart attack. "Kill me."
"What…? But…Miss Tenoh, I can't do that." "Please." Haruka whispered. "I can't live like this…and I don't want to be a burden to Michiru." The doctor closed his eyes. "I'm sorry, Miss Tenoh, but I can't and won't kill you. Sleep well." With that, the doctor left the room, leaving Haruka depressed and near tears again. She just held them back because it hurt her eyes too much to cry.
