Authors Note: I'm really really starting to wish that the plot bunnies would come after me sometime before 3 am. I need sleep too! XD

"How is he!" Netto demanded as soon as he, and Laika got close to Meijin, far too worried to take up their usual 'san' joke.

Meijin sighed, running a hand through his hair.

"Greiga did quite the number on him……." Was a s far as he got before trailing off.

"Meijin! Just tell us!"

Meijin let out a pained sigh again, closing his eyes. "It's most likely that Enzan-kun will never wake up again."

Laika drew in a sharp intake of air, his fist clenching tightly by his sides.

Netto's eyes widened, before looking down. He grit his teeth, pulled his fist back, and punched the wall as hard as he could.

"And Blues?" Laika asked, as Netto leaned his forehead against the wall, ignoring the looks he got from the other people in the hospital.

Meijin seemed lost in his own thoughts.

"And Blues?" Laika asked again, more forcefully.

Meijin seemed to snap out of it. "…………….He was deleted."

Laika rested his head in one hand, as Netto dug his fingers into the wall by his head, tears flowing.

"I want to see him." Netto said abruptly straightening, wiping his face with the back of his hand.

Laika nodded firmly as well, daring Meijin, or anyone else for that matter, to try and stop them.

Meijin didn't have any energy nor did he have the will to try and stop them, as he nodded towards the hospital room door.

Netto gripped Laika's jacket sleeve as they stepped into the room, practically hissing at the machines hooked up to Enzan.

Enzan himself was far too pale. It was hard to define where the bandages were on his skin.

Disturbing, for the white gauze was wrapped and criss-crossed in a wide 'X' over his eyes.

Laika felt Netto shudder by him, and he himself too did not wish to truly know what happened when R-Blues visor shattered.

Netto was clutching at the front of his jacket now, but seemed unable or maybe unwilling, to turn away; tears running rivers down his face.

(1)When he wakes up, I don't want to be the one who has to tell him about Blues." Netto shook his head violently, it had come out wrong but Laika knew what he meant.

Laika held his shoulders as Netto collapsed against his chest, and looked over his head at Enzan, blinking hard against a suspicious wetness.

"Netto," Laika said, still staring at the beds comatose occupant.

Netto looked up at the sound of his name.

"I don't think you'll have too." Laika continued, still staring over his head.

Netto turned his gaze to look at what had caught the aqua haired teens eyes, before promptly sobbing.

Tears had soaked through the bandages over Enzan's eyes and crystalline anguish ram a path from them.

Enzan's vitals had never changed.

"I believe he already knows." Laika finished.
