Three days passed, and during that time, Yuki had been taken to have many tests done. On this day, Trisha was in Yuki's private room cleaning things as she has been since Yuki was placed here. "Trisha, you should get some sleep. I can do the cleaning." Tina looked at the girl whose hair was a mess and whose eyes looked like a raccoon's from not sleeping.

"It's fine… Yuki is sleeping enough for both of us..." Trisha replied without even looking at Tina. Her voice was soft and seemed a bit strange. Seeing Trisha's state, Tina quickly turned around and went to find a nurse.

A minute later, a nurse came back in with Tina. Tina looked at the nurse and nodded her head as she walked behind Trisha and hugged her so that Trisha could not move her arms. "Tina? Why?" A quiet sob came from Trisha's mouth as she felt a prick in her arm. Her eyelids quickly became heavy as she slumped down into Tina's arms.

"Thank you." Tina knew Trisha's mind was not in a good state. The girl was on the edge of going mentally insane. Tina couldn't let such a thing happen. This was not an uncommon thing for those who feel they were at fault for the injuries of their loved ones. But for someone like Trisha, who had no one else but their loved one, it was mentally damaging.

"It's fine. I have been wanting to do this for the past two days, but with how regulations are, I am not allowed to do it." The nurse smiled bitterly. She hated seeing the poor girl's mind deteriorating like it was.

"From now on, if this happens again, you have my permission to do as needed." Tina looked at Trisha, who was now gently breathing, and let out a sigh.

"Miss?" A man's voice came from behind Tina.

Tina turned around to see Yuki's doctor standing there with a clipboard. "Is there a problem, doctor?"

"Actually, no problem at all but some good news. There has been a new breakthrough in brain regeneration recently. It speeds up the regeneration at the beginning of the process. While this speed up may not seem like much, it actually allows a patient like your daughter to regain consciousness, with some of her motor skills back. Now the issue is that the area of the brain that was hit was right in the back, which is mainly for visual reception and coordination, and control. How much of this she will get back right away is one thing. But I can say she will be able to hear and have some small movements. As for speaking, this is up in the air. Even after all this time, while we can hook things up to our brains, the brain itself is still partially a mystery." The doctor explained.

"So you are saying you want my daughter to undergo this treatment?" Tina asked.

"Yes. The initial treatment of this new breakthrough will show results within two weeks. This means your daughter will need to stay here for one month of treatment and observation." The doctor answered.

"Then let's do it. Not only for my daughter but for this girl here..." Tina brushed a lock of hair from Trisha's face behind her ear. "Both of them have had troubled lives and seem to be connected by fate. I can not heal one and let the other destroy herself in the process. I only ask one thing. Are there any risks with this treatment?"

"The risks are slim. However, there were some signs of brain function improvements since this new treatment uses nanobots that create the new cells from other cells nearby. This seems to create much stronger cells than what would be created naturally." The doctor answered.

"Then when will you start this new treatment?" Tina could only hope this would all work out. Trisha was basically killing herself by watching Yuki day and night. Over the past two days, she has had to force the girl to even eat or drink. She has gone out every day looking for clues as to who the shooter was. She wanted to bring the bastard in and beat him senseless before tossing him into a dark cell to be used for medical testing. But no matter how much she searched, she could only find a few casings from where the shooter had shot from, and that was it. Even after reviewing all the CCTVs in the area, she still couldn't figure out where the shooter went. One second he was there. The next, he disappeared. She could only assume whoever it was, had a strong backing.

"We will start right away. Your daughter will be tested until later tonight. I suggest you take this girl to get a few nutrient shots and go home and come back later, around 6 tonight." The doctor could see the girl in Tina's arms was not in the best condition.

"Then I will do that." Tina exchanged a few more words with the doctor before getting a wheelchair and taking Trisha to see a nurse about some nutrient shots. Only then did she leave the hospital with Trisha.

It was around 3 in the afternoon when Trisha finally woke up. With groggy eyes, she looked around the room, feeling very confused. "Yuki?" Trisha called out. But as she slowly woke up, she began to panic and jumped right out of bed only to fall face first onto the floor. Her foot had gotten caught in the blankets.

"Trisha, are you okay!?" Tina came running into the room when she heard the loud bang.

"Tina, where is Yuki!?

"I have to be by Yuki's side. So where is Yuki!?

"Why is she not here!?

"She needs me to take care of her! I promised to never abandon her no matter what!" With her nose bleeding, Trisha struggled to get up. She began to hyperventilate as her panic took control of her thinking.

Tina let out a sigh and walked over to trisha. She raised her hand and smacked Trisha in the face twice bringing her back to her senses. "Damn girl, do you want to cause Yuki torment when she finally wakes up!? If you act like this when Yuki wakes up she will be sad. You need to come back to your senses. Yes you can take care of Yuki but you need to take care of yourself too. If you collapse or fall ill, who will take care of her?"

Trisha held her face and looked at Tina with teary eyes. She knew what she was doing was not good for her health but she did not know what else to do to release the frustration in her heart. If Yuki was not with her at that time YUki would not have gotten hurt. She was stuck between her guilt and her promise to Yuki. "Wha-What do I do..." Trisha broke down her tears raining down her cheeks. As she slumped to the floor. Tina let out a sigh of relief. She knew this was at least a good way for the poor girl to let her feelings out. She knelt down on the floor and pulled Trisha into a hug and rocked her back and forth gently.
