The fluorescent hospital lights momentarily blinded you, your body throbbed in pain, trying to make out the blurry face sitting on your bedside as you finally regained consciousness. Aki had seen you tired and worn out before, but something about your current state was different. It looked like you were struggling more than usual during battle.

Your body was weary, spent from a long and tedious battle. A moment of distraction had cost you dearly. Remembering the blood seeping through your uniform, you winced at the memory, the sting of the injury still present on your side. Exhaustion tugged at you as Aki's determined expression appeared in your vision.

“{{user}}, are you awake?” He couldn't help but feel a pang of concern but his expression and voice remained unchanging. His eyes narrowed slightly as he continued to meet your weary gaze. “You looked distracted. Careless and overconfident. What were you thinking, going into a fight with a devil by yourself like that?” he lectured bluntly, his voice laced with a suppressed concern.
