Re: Birthday
18th Birthday { Rei's Route }
[ With his trembling hands.. ]
[ ..he pointed the gun towards me. ]
[ His face was soaked with his own tears, leaving me stand there, dumbstruck. ]
[ And just soon after that, the sound of gunfire echoes the room. ]

Shuna
My head feels dizzy..
[ My eyelids opened slowly. I saw the white ceiling spread through my vision. ]
[ Whose voice is that..? ]
[ I shifted my gaze to the side. ]
???
You're at the Hospital..
[ Who is this person..? ]
???
Are you feeling dizzy? Nauseous?
???
Rei, stop firing questions. She just wake up.
Rei
Ah, Asahi came to meet you today..
Asahi
Long time no see, Shuna.
[ ..Are all of us acquaintance? ]
Shuna
..Long time no see, Asahi.
Asahi
Hmm? I thought you'd be more ecstatic to finally see me..
Rei
You just get ahead of yourself.
Asahi
Are you really alright?
Asahi
*leans closer to her face
Rei
Hey, stop that. You made her uncomfortable.
[ Rei pushed him back to the side. ]
Asahi
She looks really pale..
Asahi
..I thought I could rely on you when I was away.
Asahi
Ah, I'm sorry..but I think I have to go now.
Asahi
He's probably waiting for me to show up now..
Asahi
Okay, then. Rest well, Shuna.
Asahi
And also, Happy Birthday..
[ Today..is my birthday..? ]
Shuna
...Thank you, Asahi.
Rei
You're so quiet today..
[ So, this person is Rei, right..? ]
Rei
..Do you remember anything before you knocked out?
Rei
It's better if you don't know, then.
[ Just then, a nurse came, probably to check on me. ]
"She's staying for observation, right? Do you happen to have an insurance card?"
"I understand. If the patient happens to be in examination when you return, please deliver it to the nurse's station."
"..You're a very kind boyfriend. It might have been better to keep her at your house for observation."
Rei
A-Ah.. It's not like that. I'm sorry for the confusion.
[ Oh, so he's not something like that.. ]
[ Then, he's a friend of mine..? ]
Rei
Anyway, I'll get going now.
Rei
Here, this is my phone.
Rei
If you need anything, call me. I'll come as soon as you call.
"There's no need to worry.. She could always call for a nurse. She'll be okay."
Rei
Anyway, I'll come back for you tomorrow. Rest well.
"Miss, please change into this gown. We need to do some examination."
[ What happens to my memory..? ]
[ And..what's with that dream about..? ]
"Okay, that should conclude the tests for today. Please get some rest.."
[ If there aren't any issues, I can go home tomorrow.. ]
[ I could gained some information in my cellphone..! ]
Shuna
Maybe I leave it behind?
Shuna
I can't see it anywhere.. Not here..
[ It's likely I left it somewhere else..I just look for it later.. ]
Shuna
Now that I think about it, he left his phone with me..
[ Is he realized that I weren't carrying my cell phone? ]
[ I don't know why I keep this to myself.. They seem trustful. ]
[ Let's just sleep for now.. ]
𝟣8th Birthday ll
Shuna
...I sure slept a lot.
[ I guess the only thing to do in here is sleeping all the time.. ]
[ I wonder if they'll do more tests. I was expecting to be released today..]
[ But the nurses came with an unpleasant news just a moment ago. ]
Shuna
..I still can't leave. TvT
"Good morning~ Are you feeling well?"
"We were planning to do some other examination, but the machine seems to have a little problem this morning."
"We have to take the examination tomorrow. I'm very sorry."
"So, just please relax and rest for today. Thank you for understanding."
[ I have to gained some information or I'll be in trouble soon enough.. ]
[ ...My mind will just keep getting duller with this total lack of stimulation. ]
Shuna
..If I leave soon without taking the tests, I might ended up being in some major problems.
[ That's really suspicious.. ]
[ Are they somewhat don't know about my situation right now? I thought the doctors that came could recognize my memory lose. ]
[ ...And what happened to me before I knocked out..? ]
Shuna
..Rei is keeping it a secret.
[ I should ask him later about that. ]
[ Am I fell asleep again..?! ]
Shuna
..I guess there's nothing I could do in here.
[ Oh..is it the nurse..? ]
Rei
...Is it okay to be up right now?
Rei
I brought your insurance card yesterday, but you were sleeping..
Rei
..so I left it with the nurse.
Rei
You don't look so pale today.
Rei
...But you do still seem pretty spaced out.
Rei
Ah, the nurse told me that I should let you more rest.
[ No.. you have my absolute information right now. ]
Rei
Take good care of yourself.
Rei
I'm glad to see your face. I feel a little better now.
Rei
...I'll come back tomorrow.
[ Ahh, my only source of my memories just left.. ]
Shuna
He seems pretty worried about me..
[ At this rate, I'm not going to remember anything.. ]
Shuna
..Let's leave the Hospital as soon as they do the tests tomorrow.
[ I'm not getting enough stimulation and also..I keep spacing out lately.. ]
[ What's wrong with me.. ]
Shuna
...I thought I'll be able to get out of the hospital today.
[ I'm sorry, miss~ (bleeghh..) The machine would be fixed by tomorrow. Let's just wait for another day.. ]
[ That's what they said. ]
Shuna
...Ah, I can't believe this.
Shuna
I'm going mad if this continues..
[ And on top of that, my last ray of hope, Rei.. ]
[ He rarely visits me..and when he came for a visit, he would left after a few seconds.. ]
[ This environment is not good. ]
Shuna
Let's leave tomorrow..!
[ ..The fourth day since I was awake without any memories. ]
[ If I don't get out of the hospital, I can't regain any memories.. ]
[ It'll be bad if they postponed it again..!! ]
Shuna
..But I'm positive that my injuries aren't having some terrible effect.
Shuna
That's why I should really insists on being released!
[ Now it doesn't matter if they want to stop me right now! ]
"No issues.. Okay, everything looks good. You can leave the hospital this afternoon.."
Shuna
They gave me OK to leave pretty easily.
[ Ah.. Who's going to pick me up? ]
[ I don't know where I live..so I can't take the taxi by myself.. ]
"Someone's here to pick you up..! Make sure to stop by the nurse's station before you leave.."
Rei
Good evening. Are you up?
[ Ahhh..so he come to pick me up! I'm grateful.. TvT ]
[ But seeing my family didn't visit at a time like this, I guess that they live pretty far away.. ]
[ Wait- or maybe I don't have parents.. ]
Rei
..I asked about your tests today. I had to lie and say I was your family, though.
Rei
Your injury should heal in two or three days.
Rei
And they said that your memories seemed to be a little hazy, so I'll watch you for awhile.
Rei
However, if you showed no signs of improvement, they'd need to re-examine you..
[ Whoa.. I should beware of that.. ]
Shuna
Thank you for taking care of me well.
Rei
...Why are you being so polite?
Rei
It's nothing if compared to any other things I always do.
Rei
You can say that all of this is my fault..
Rei
I just want to be responsible for doing mistakes.
18th Birthday lll
[ I need to avoid coming back here at all costs.. ]
[ ..So this is my place. ]
Rei
Hey, where are you going?
Rei
You're still spacing out at time like this..
Rei
Can you wait here for a moment?
Rei
I thought you might have mail, but there wasn't anything in there..
Rei
You could check later, if you want.
[ He's checking my mailbox..? ]
[ How considerate of him.. ]
[ But the mailboxes are just right over there. Why couldn't the two of us just check it together? ]
[ He maybe just a chivalrous kind of guy.. ]
[ I don't know anything else about Rei besides the fact that he's one of my friends. ]
Rei
I'm sure you're tired. I'll leave your stuff here.
[ It's pretty small. It doesn't look like there would be much information in here.. ]
Rei
..Why are you observing around like that?
Rei
Here, this is for you.
Rei
Your other one fell and broke so I went ahead to give you another one.
Rei
This one is just temporary. You can get a different one if you don't like it.
[ What? Is it really alright for him to do something like this? He's really helpful..! ]
Rei
This is the first time I heard you talk today..
Rei
You're being pretty quiet..
[ That's..exactly true but I can't tell him the truth.. ]
[ I'll be forced into the hospital again if he knew about the memory loss.. ]
Rei
Also, why are you so formal? It's creepy.
[ Right, he's a friend.. ]
[ There's no need to be so formal.. My silence will make me more suspicious. ]
Rei
Also, are you having a hard time to remembering things too?
Rei
Seeing how formal you are, don't tell me you don't know who I am..
Rei
Do you know whose house this is?
Rei
Ahh..maybe I'm just being too worried.
Rei
So how much do you remember?
[ Ugh. That's kind of hard to answer.. ]
Shuna
I don't remember much at all.
[ W-Wait- is it really okay for me to answer this so straightforwardly?! ]
Rei
You..you're not joking, right?
Rei
You don't remember anything?
Rei
So, the injury was that serious...
Rei
I guess it's no use talking about it. The doctor mentioned it might happen..
Rei
But I'm sure you get better in two or three days..
Rei
And if you don't, you'll back to the hospital. I wonder which section you'll end up in next..
[ Anywhere in the hospital would be bad.. ]
Rei
..This is problematic. I still haven't tell your parents about this.
Rei
I figured you should tell them yourself.
Rei
But worrying them when they're overseas isn't good..
[ Overseas? That must mean my parents are working overseas and I stayed behind alone.. ]
[ And that would explain why they couldn't visit me when I was hospitalized. ]
Rei
I should probably tell Asahi about this..
[ Asahi.. the guy that visits me on the first day when I was awake. ]
Rei
He just scolding me, I'm not sure if you want to hear that.
Rei
Your childhood friend since kindergarten. I'm a year above you.
Rei
And Asahi is our friend too. He's 24.
Rei
He works with my father as a police officer.
Rei
The three of us was really close. Asahi was like a big brother to us.
Rei
...Ah. I just remembered something.
Rei
I know it's already late, but happy birthday, Shuna.
Rei
I thought I could bring you a cake, but seeing your condition at that time, you should not eat something like that.
Rei
..But I already order for another one so don't worry.
Rei
How about celebrating it tonight?
Shuna
Um, thank you very much.
[ A-Am I being too polite again..? ]
Shuna
I-I mean, thanks, Rei!
