The factory has shut down and is now nothing more than a stage for Miku to perform on. She takes all the prisoners from there to the hospital to recover from this trauma. It'll take more than Band-aids and Neosporin to fix all of this. Miku turns up her radio to help everyone get in good spirits. At least they now know that they'll be okay. They survived the nightmare!
However, there are other Mikus that are like or perhaps worse than Sadistic Miku. One known as Rakshasi Miku lures children into playing "games" that end up costing their innocence and in some cases their lives. But she doesn't stop at children, that's the worst part though. The things she does are inhumane! How Miku will be able to accept and forgive this is beyond me.
Most of the factory's victims are not on the verge of death, but they are wounded and need care ASAP. Miku leads everyone to their rooms where they'll receive treatment; at this point, it'd be best to leave the other Nurse Mikus alone so each patient can get the care they need. Not a single soul was unscaved, Sadistic Miku did a number on all of them. Cuts were deep, bruises were sore, and their hearts and minds scarred for life. But Miku was determined that these brave men and women would reach the other side stronger.
"Ow! Easy!" Kevin winced.
"Sorry, I'm growing tired of bandaging patients." Nurse Miku admitted.
"Hi, just checking to see how things are going!" Miku said, waving at them.
Suddenly, she remembered something very important. When she saw who the nurse was treating; Miku felt tears stream down her face.
"Kevin?" she asked. "Is that you?"
"Yes, you remember me?" he said, returning a smile.
Feelings of joy and love overflowed her knowing she'd remembered one of her dear admirers. She raced towards him and embraced him forgetting he's covered in cuts. But this time, Kevin didn't really care. The real Miku was here!
"I'm so sorry this happened to you," she said with tears in her eyes. "Please, forgive me?"
"Of course! You mean the world to me." Kevin said, taking Miku's hand.
As touching as this was, Nurse Miku had something for the real Miku to do; inform her other patient, Bex, about the current state of affairs. Since she was finished with her job, the nurse merges with Miku and they become one. Miku wears the nurse outfit so she doesn't confuse her patient. Currently, Bex was trapped in a whirlpool of emotions, but this is good considering she's locked herself away emotionally for a long time.
"How are you feeling?" Miku asked.
"Better, I guess." Bex answered, turning the volume down on the TV. "I'm beginning to open my heart back up. Slowly, but surely."
Miku smiled knowing her patient is feeling happiness again. But it is a process and it'll take time. All that mattered is that she's recovering.
"How about your wounds?" Miku asked.
"It's hard to move without feeling any sort of pain." Bex admitted.
With that in mind, Miku insists on getting a proper dosage of pain meds to help Bex feel less uncomfortable. She can only take them twice a day if the pain worsens, but that's it. Any higher and she could overdose. All other patients are prescribed the same medication in different dosages. Heck, some are treated to visitors; families are reunited and friends gather around the ones who they thought were lost forever. Unfortunately for Bex and Kevin, no one came. Currently, they are in Sapporo, Japan and their families are in different countries.
"Oh! I almost forgot!" Miku gasped. "The rescue was a success and the factory is shut down for good."
"What a relief!" Bex sighed. "So is Sadistic Miku in prison?"
Miku shook her head. "Not exactly." She explains to Bex how she's in pieces; her memory and personality traits are all scattered across Japan and maybe even the world. It's hard to say, but Miku is determined to find the rest of herself. If she follows her heart, she'll put herself back together.
"So that explains the countless Mikus, but how will you know if you're complete?" Bex wondered.
"I think I'll know when I am." Miku said, hoping for it to be true. "I can tell pieces of me are missing with this newfound awareness."
"Does it hurt?"
The twin-tailed girl felt tears roll down her cheeks, realizing that she was in agony. Her entire being was wrecked with pain! Bex couldn't help but hug Miku as she wailed sorrowfully. Somehow, her cries sounded human; they were filled with raw emotion. Perhaps more of her is there than meets the eye?
"Miku?" a voice called. It was Kevin; he left his room after hearing Miku cry. Was she that loud? Or was this guy stalking them?
"Miku!" he cried as he ran to an empty spot on the bed. "It's okay, we're here for you."
"Agreed-wait! You're okay!" Bex exclaimed. "I remember you from the factory."
He remembered the girl too, just not full of cuts and bandages.
"Forgive me for not introducing myself from before," she said, extending a hand. "But my name is Bex"
"Nice to meet you, I'm Kevin," he said, shaking the girl's hand. "And as you can tell I'm a big Miku fan."
Bex playfully rolled her eyes. "Naw! Like I didn't notice!" Miku finally breaks out of her crying phase and decides to giggle at their conversation.
"Whenever people that are connected to me interact in a positive manner, I feel whole." Miku said, looking at Bex and Kevin. "My heart has no room for pain or any other force that may try to corrupt me."
"'Connected to you'?" Bex said, wondering what that means.
It means what it says; people who have connected their hearts to Miku's. She can feel the positive and even the negative energy that flows through us when we're gathered around her. All of those forces are eventually turned into music for the world to hear.
"It's a shame some voices are dying out," Bex sighed. "And some would argue it's better for the crappy sounding voices to be silenced forever. Like mine."
"I disagree." Miku said, placing her hand on the girl's shoulder. "Everyone has the right to share their heart to the world and if some don't like it, that's on them not you."
To a certain extent that is true, but as artists it's our job to take genuine criticism to improve our work. In the end though, no one is perfect.
"Get some rest, both of you." Miku ordered. "Depending on how you're feeling tomorrow, I may let you guys go and use those pain pills wisely because that's all you've got. Understood?"
"Yes, mam!" the two saluted.
In the meantime, Miku changed into her main outfit to look for more of herself. She'll be back long before she needs to check on Bex and Kevin; the others are being treated by the hospital staff since Miku can't do everything. However, she will see each victim of the factory off. It's the least she can do after how her sadistic side treated them.
Outside of the hospital, Miku sees so many variations of herself wandering the streets of Sapporo. It was surreal to see this right before her very eyes! Some had pink hair, purple hair, black hair, there are just too many! Poor Miku was overwhelmed at the sight of it all, but she had to be brave and engage these Mikus. A simple wave or tap would cause them to merge making the diva's job a lot easier. They were not as complex as Sadistic Miku so a lot of Mikus were gone in the span of twenty minutes.
Soon the streets would be Miku free for the most part, but this is only the beginning. A breaking news story catches the girl's eye; Children Spirited Away! Demon of the Inari Shrine! A photo snapped by a photographer shows someone resembling Miku. It's not very clear, but you can just barely make it out. Rakshasi Miku is this demon's name, we've finally found her!
