Kokoro was released from the hospital less then a month later. With her release she was required to see a physiatrist, and was had to have a cheque up every week to monitor her weight and mental health.
Two days before her release she was finally considered stable, but was pushing it.

"What do you think about moving in with my parents?" Kippei asked as he was fixing dinner.
"…" Kokoro did not respond, she sat at the island and stared down at her hands.
"It's okay if you don't want to…"
"…"
"Kokoro, please say something, say anything…" Kippei set the knife down and turned to face her. "You have not said anything since you were placed in the hospital a month ago…"
"…"
"Kokoro, if you think I am still upset about Karou, you are greatly mistaken."
"…"
"Look, I know you are upset, but all I want to do is help you, that is what everybody wants."
'Your wrong.' Kokoro thought.
"Kokoro I can not handle this, I am trying to be strong, but I am not sure how much longer I can last."
"…"
"I need to hear your voice, I need to see life in your body, right now the only thing that is there is an empty body."
"…"
"What happened to the Kokoro that I love?" The one that I shared a hotel room with, in Okinawa."

"Hi mum, is Sis home?"
"Yeah, I think she just got out of the shower."
"Great can I talk to her?"
"Sure thing."
--
"Hello?"
"Hey Sis, can you talk for a minute?"
"Ya, hang on a sec."
"Okay."
"Okay I am back." Sis said a moment later. "Whats wrong Kippei?"
"Its Kokoro."
"Oh."
"She is not getting any better."
"Has she said anything yet?"
"No, not a word."
"Have you tired talking to her about it?"
"Yah, I tired this afternoon, she didn't do anything, but stare back at me with empty eyes."
"Kippei, maybe this is getting out of your hands."
"I know but I have to do something for her, I can not stand seeing her like this…It is killing me."
"Kippei, I am coming over tomorrow."
"Okay, what time?"
"Well I have work, so sometime after that."
"Have you gotten her to go to class yet?"
"No, not yet, I am going to take her tomorrow though."
"Okay, maybe that will help, have any of her friends been by?"
"No. They have called a lot, but never stopped by, but that is because I keep telling them that we will be back in school the next day."
"Kippei, will you promise me something?"
"What?"
"That if this gets out of hand, you will step aside and let a professional come in to take care of her."
"Sis that won't happen."
"Kippei…just promise me."
"Sis…"
"Promise me…"
"Okay."
"Okay what?"
"I promise that if Kokoro's condition gets out of hand I will step aside and let a professional come in and take care of her."
"Thank you."
"I've got to go, I think I woke Kokoro up."
"Okay, I will see you tomorrow."
"Okay, bring Yuzuyu with you, that might help."
"I will, goodnight."
"Night."

With that Kippei hung up the phone and went to go into the bedroom. As he reached the bedroom door he saw Kokoro looking at him from behind the door that was cracked open.
"Sorry, did I wake you up?"
"…"
"Sis and Yuzuyu are coming by tomorrow evening."
"…"
Kippei let out a sigh, talking to himself was getting old, very quickly.
"Are you already for classes, tomorrow?"
"…"
"Well, we better get some sleep…"
"…"
"Are you coming to bed?" Kippei asked as he walked past Kokoro into the bedroom.
"…"
