After eating, going to the bathroom, waking Wataru up and gathering in the same waiting room, everyone feels exhausted, sad and worried, just Wataru, who slept has energy to walk around the hospital.
The same nurse from before appeared and said "Did you all sleep here? What about you room? It's on the same corridor as Ema's room, just on it's left." Everyone looked up at her, as if asking "room?", but Masaomi stepped up and said "We didn't sleep, with the news, everyone was trying to accept, so I didn't mention the room, but, if still available, we would like to go there." The nurse looked sad for a moment, then with a deep breath, she said "Well, it's available, this is a service that we offer to the worst cases, and there aren't that many in this hospital, so we have lots of empty "family" rooms." Masaomi nodded and followed the nurse, who started to walk, making a sign for them to follow. With that, everyone got up and followed to the room.
The corridor was long and there weren't many rooms with people inside, but one special room got their attention. The door had a window-like glass, which allowed anyone to look inside, as they passed they saw a nightmare, it was Ema, laid down, all her body wrapped in bandages and her left leg lifted up, she had tubes on her arms and belly, her face was swollen and her eyes purple, one shut and the other just staring at the ceiling, her hair was down and she didn't look like she was "on", she looked like an empty broken box, just waiting to something to happen. As they looked at Ema, they were shocked, ok, Masaomi said that it was bad, but no one imagined it to be that bad, it was just too much. Why did that happen to her? How? Why weren't they with her? Who did that?
They entered the room and the nurse said, pointing to different places "We have 8 beds and 5 futons, which are inside that closet, there is a fridge with drinks and food, but I would recommend you to buy something on the cafeteria or a market. I don't know when she is going to be released, but as soon as the date is revealed, you will have to go." Then she slammed the door and went her on way. All 13 brothers sit on a bed or the floor, deadly silent, until Fuuto spoke "There is a way, isn't there? Of getting whoever did all of that to her." He looked at Ukyou, who said "Yes, there is, if the doctor have the proof, like pictures and DNA samples, there is, but... Many women that pass through this don't accept to open a case, they are scared and decide not to, it will all depend on Ema..." Fuuto looked kind of mad as the others looked sad, inside cheering to the best: she decides to open a case. "Why the hell wouldn't she want to? It's more than her right to do so! Even if she doesn't, I will get revenge on who did that to her!" Fuuto screamed, then he kept screaming on how he would find, kill, or whatever he could to those guys. Until Hikaru got up and slapped his face, hard. He looked into Fuuto's eyes and said "Listen, you won't do anything if Ema doesn't want you to, it's not as simple as you are thinking, it's a horrible thing, so, stop being so childish and selfish for only this time, sit down and if want to do something, help her, cheer for her turning out ok, respect her feelings and her decision." Then Fuuto looked shocked, made a little humph sound and laid down on a bed, staring at the wall.
After a little time, the doctor opened the door and looked surprised "Wow, I didn't expect such a big family. Well, mine is Sakura, you can calm me Sakura-san. I bring good news, apparently she wants to see you guys! But, I warn you, don't go too close and don't touch her, ok?" Everyone nodded and got up, following the doctor to the room next to theirs. As soon as they got in, Ema looked at them, and despite having bandages all over her face she gave a faint smile.
They gathered around her, leaving enough space to her to see the rest of the room. Tsubaki held Azuna's hand, and tightened his grip, showing that he was holding the tears, for Ema's sake. Natsume stared at her, giving her a smile, as if saying "I'm here for you", Iori looked at her, with a pained look on his face, he didn't want to lose her as he lost his first love. Fuuto, who had an annoyed look on his face, let that go and smiled his most charming smile, even if his eyed said that he was in pain, Yusuke and Subaru looked at her, so fragile and broken, but smiling and let a few tears run freely, but then smiled, just looking at her, if she was smiling, then they couldn't cry, at least not in front of her. Louis had a sad look on his, but managed a smile, a friendly one, sweet an delicate. Ukyou looked serious and sad, he was anxious and wanted to know if she wanted to open a case, if she did, them he would defend her and put the guilty ones in jail, Hikaru looked at her, and gave a smile, like if nothing was wrong, everything is normal and he would just provoke others, Wataru was sad and didn't hide it, at the sight of his sister he faintly said "Onee-chan" and cried, Masaomi hugged him and gave an assuring smile, for Wataru and Ema, but he couldn't hide the fact that he was sad. Kaname was leaned on the wall, but walked to Ema and said "How are you holding up, Imouto-chan?" She looked at them, then at Kaname and said "I'm...fine..." But her tears ran through her face and everyone had the urge to hug her and said everything was ok now, pass the fingers through her hair, kiss her forehead, but they held that in, the doctor said it was for the best.
After the tears stopped, Ema tried to sat up, but there was too much pain and the tubes on her belly didn't help, making her fall back on the bed, and let out an 'ah', with that, everyone's heart tightened, isn't there anything they could do to help? Anything at all? As if answering their question, she said "Ukyou... Will you...will... You help me?"
