Story Summary[]
Central Hospital, Wednesday 2:29 PM[]
Boss and Mizuki talked about what happened to Date. Mizuki learned about Aiba—she had blocked the bullet from entering Date's brain, so he survived. The surgery to remove the bullet was successful, but Date was still in a comatose state. Boss speculated that it was a result of repeated Psyncing. Boss also assured Mizuki that Date would not be reprimanded for going against orders. While talking to Mizuki, Boss was called to the nurse's station, and Mizuki learned that her real name was Shizue Kuranushi.
Mizuki continued talking to Date after Boss left. She admitted that she thought of Date as a hero to her, and appreciated everything he did for her growing up. She told Date that his presence helped her cope during the trauma of the past week, and begged him to wake up. Eventually, Boss returned, and suggested a way for Mizuki to save Date: Psyncing with him and bringing him back. Mizuki agreed, and headed to ABIS.
ABIS HQ, Psync Room, Wednesday 3:47 PM[]
