I stared at the wall when I woke yp. I only slept for a little bit. As Dr. Jean promised he never let the cops in. I felt greatful. I could talk to them when I got my mind in order...

   Mom was outside talking to Dr. Jean. Maybe about me. Maybe about Geno. I don't know.

   Asy had returned eventually and the loud feel of outside wore off. Night fell. "Fresh..?"

   I blinked and looked up. "Yes..?"

   Asy stared at me and looked as if he was trying to figure out what to say. "Are you–"

   "Don't ask... please..." I murmured and pressed my head to the wall. It was still cold. And soothing. I liked it.

   There was a soft groan.

   Error jerked upright. "Geno!"

   Geno's face scrunched. "Error..?" His voice was wobbly and weak. "Where–"

   "A hospital." I chimed in without thinking.

   Geno's eyelight flitted over fo look at me. "Huh..?"

   I blinked and forced a smile. Geno didn't deserve to see me like this. He deserved the best first impression I could give. "Hey."

   He stared for a minute before it seemed to click. He attempted to push himself up. "F-Fresh!?"

   Error and I both jerked to help him. " Careful!" Error scolded. We helped him sit.

   Geno reaches uo and touched my cheek. I forced myself not to flinch at the touch. "It's you..."

   I gave a sad smile. "Yup. It's me."

   "What happened..?" He asked softly scanning my scars.

   "Nothing good..." I rubbed my arm gently. "I'll tell you later..."

   Geno frowned and gave a weak cough. "M not dreaming right?"

   "You aren't dreaming." Error squeezed Geno's hand.

   "I'm pretty sure I'm real." The memories hurt enough to be real... "Don't worry about it Geno..."

   Geno frowned. "Can I hug you...? Please?"

   I glanced at the door. "Yeah. Just don't let Dr. Jean see."

   Geno nodded and pulled me into a hug. "I really missed you."

   I blinked and then buried my face in his shoulder. "I missed you too." My voice cracked.

   "It's okay. I've got you." Geno whispered.

   I gripped onto his hospital gown. "Geno–"

   "Shh... I got you..." Geno whispered.
