Not like I have a choice, but yeah. [Damn having people he actually needs to contact now.] The goddamn midnight infomercials are less fucking annoying than these drama shows. And why the hell would I wanna watch a show about the hospital while I'm in one?

[Worse, General Hospital and The Good Doctor re-runs still are.

Hearing that Harumasa was not just being checked out but with someone made Ragna let out a relieved sigh, leaning back against the raised bed.]

Good... [He dragged his hand down his face. He'll keep that veil of Harumasa's privacy up with the favorite trait of multi-linguals: Talking shit in his first language.] Fucking idiot, what was he thinking...

I'll send 'em to his phone, then, if he doesn't mind. [And he'll just send Kuni's phone the YouTube links he found.] Maybe they're trying to show you just how much worse you could have it. Your doctors could be having a breakdown in their personal lives leaking into their work. How lucky, yeah?

[Yeah, it really is a good thing. Noctis has been alone in the hospital before, he doesn't recommend it.]

I am worried about him, but I'll ask him at a later date. You're the one who had a good chunk of his past practically broadcasted, I'm more worried how you're feeling about that.

Yeah, "lucky". This town makes my life enough of a soap opera bullshit mess, I don't wanna see it in a hospital.

[Does he mean that affectionately or derogatorily? Yes.

God. That whole place was a blur, Ragna didn't know exactly what Aoko made. Or if she made it of her own volition at all. God knows the Spirit Realm is an asshole that would air all the dirty laundry a man has out for anyone who walks into it. He looked away from Noctis and made an irritated sound. What a fucking pain.]

I don't know or remember what was even in that whole place, but I'm gonna take a shot in the dark and assume "basically everything" cause God forbid something's easy.

You're telling me. I found out my DM's from another world just a couple weeks ago.

[All those excuses! God, does Noctis feel a little annoyed about it. A whole year he and Caleb spent coming up with plausible family emergencies to cover for getting involved in supernatural bullshit on Fridays. God.]

...yyyyeah, pretty much. For you and for her. [A silence.] Did you know someone who wore a hood and fought with chains? Because Harumasa and I, and the guy who runs one of the pharmacies around town, went up against him.

... You've been in this session for as long as I've fucking known you and you're only just now figuring out your DM's an isekai?! Why didn't you just ask the guy, they always have tells.

[Even the ones from other versions of Earth have tells of "yeah I know about this thing that's not in this world" or "I have this crazy magic shit".]

[Mentioning that man though, Ragna froze. In fear, in anxiety, in unspeakable anger. There was recognition in his eyes immediately and his one hand clenched into a fist as tight as he could wind it with his lack of strength right now.

He'd just about dig into his hand with his nails if he was stronger.]

Terumi...!
