Naru was unconscious in one of the hospital beds. Blood still soaked the bandages on his shoulder and leg. Lin was standing at the foot of the bed, trying to figure out what to say when he woke up.

Naru sat up with a grumble. Lin gave him a harsh glare. Naru returned it with a frown.

"If you're going to lecture me fine, but I know I did the right thing" Naru stated.

"What you did was get two more holes than needed. How could that have possibly been the right thing?" Lin shouted, "What in the world were you thinking"

Naru looked down then said, "I thought I could save her"

Lin looked puzzled. Naru looked up, and with tears in his eyes said, "But she's still not safe"
