[ When the image stops being blurry and all, there's what looks like to be Kai dressed in hospital robes, as there's bandages tied around his neck, going downward, laying in a bed. He seems to be doing all right, if you can ignore the fact that he does look pretty weak. There's rustling as Kai wakes up, letting out a quiet groan. He looks around at his surroundings, seeing that Dranzer and its' launcher are on his bed side. Sighing, he picks up the communicator, looking down into it, as he switches the communicator to voice. ]

... Mm.

[...]

Everyone, shut up and stop complaining. What's done is done, and it's over and done with. Instead of needlessly being upset over things, fix them without feeling sorry for yourself. Yeah, you attacked your friends, your loved ones, but it's tiring to hear you all whine and moan about it. Do something else than sit around and mope, like, oh I haven't the faintest clue...

Man the hell up and stop acting like fucking pansies. Seriously, the way everyone is going about this is annoying.

Then again, not much is to be expected from you, Discedo. You house idiots, so it's natural for everyone to be idiots, even now. So, in a sense, I'm wasting my breath. How typical.

[ Locked to Ren | Unhackable ]

Could you do me the favor of looking over my teammates? Keep me updated if they need their asses kicked.

[ Locked to Yuriy | Unhackable ]

... Yuriy? Can you come visit me in the hospital...?

I'm... sorry for getting hurt again.

...no...

[he's not sure if he's talking about the wounds, or the words. in some ways he supposes they're one and the same.]

And yet the feeling persists. Is there anything I can do for you, Kai?

[ Kai's just very angry and irritable at everyone being idiots and not listening to the smart one for the umpteenth time. Although, he should be used to it, considering just who is on his team.

Oh, well. Beggars can't be choosers. ]

No. I'll be fine.

[the curse of being intelligent, kai.]

Very well. May you recover quickly.

[ Yup. :| ]

Yeah.

[...]

Speaking of which, you too, Meryl. And--

[ Locked to Meryl | Unhackable ]

Thank you for taking care of me.

...Of course, Kai. You don't need to thank me.

But I do. You saved my life. That's something you thank someone for.

...we're family. We look after each other, don't we?

... family.

[...]

Yeah. I guess now I can look at you as my surrogate grandfather now.

[...]

So, you're right.

[ - FUCK YES I JUST WON THE GAME.]

...I am honored, Kai.

And of course I am. It runs in the family.

Mm. I'm glad.

The family, huh? What, do I get to add Winterstorm to my name now?

Don't you think it's a good name?

[...]

That reminds me.

Are you going to kick my ass?

Mm, it comes close to Hiwatari, but not by much.

[...]

Yes, I will. Get your chip out before I have to kick your ass for dying on me again.

[kldkfj FFF.]

I - hardly think the first time was my fault!

Oh? Prove me wrong, old man.

....

[now he's gonna do it, just to spite you.]

[ BRING IT. ]
