No one's POV
The two brothers watch their sister through the window leading into her room. She hasn't stopped shaking. Or whimpering. She just stays curled up in a small tight ball on the bed. Much like how the police had found her.
Mitsukuni is worried for his younger sister. He knew she would be different. But, in all truth, he still expected to see the smiling six-year-old from his memories. Not the tormented sixteen year old in the hospital room.
Ayumi would dig her nails into her shins whenever someone speaks. As if their words gave her physical pain. Ayumi would whimper or curl up even tighter if someone so much as walks into the room. It's difficult for the family to see.
"Ayumi has had a decade's worth of abuse and torture. It'd be a miracle for her to be anything like her old self." The doctor had said.
"The person who took her... they didn't... touch her did they?" Mr. Hananizuka had asked the first night.
"I am sorry. But there are signs of extreme sexual abuse. And," He pauses, gauging the family's reaction. " Some tests have shown that, Ayumi has been... impregnated four times. All of the pregnancies had been terminated in a less than humane way, though." This had caused anger to boil inside the elder Hananizuka. Their only daughter. How could anyone do the things that were done to her?
The doctors had dimmed the lights in Ayumi's room. And the girl is almost always squeezed into the corner, under a small table. Not eating a thing. And hardly drinking any water. The staff, and family alike, are worrying greatly. They didn't know what to do. None of them could get even remotely close to her. And she's not speaking, or making much noise as it is.
No one is sure what it is that can help her. The hospital staff can't get close enough to do any extensive tests. The ones they were able to do were when she was still unconscious. But even still, they worry for the girl.
"There is no curing what had happened to her. The memories will be with her for the rest of her life. The chances of Ayumi ever being like her old self is next to none, and you all have to accept that." A therapist told the family one afternoon. None of them wanted to believe her words. But they accepted them soon enough.
Two Weeks Later
A nurse had gone into Ayumi's room. When she tried speaking to the girl, much to everyone's shock, Ayumi grabbed the nurse's hand and shook her head frantically. Then she pointed to the nurse's mouth and began to whimper. That was the first human contact Ayumi had made since being found. Slowly, the staff charged with watching the girl began to understand, she isn't suppose to talk.
The problem now though, is explaining to the Hananizuka's why their daughter may be acting this way.
