[Action; Open]

[The hospital. Not Shirou's favorite place in the world. But when he got Rin back safely from that wrecked ship, it was the only place he could think of to take her. At least there, the nurses could get her out of her wet clothes and monitor her condition until she awoke.

Not that that did much for Shirou's mental well-being. After changing out of his own wet clothes, he returned to the hospital out of concern for his friend. At varying points, before Rin wakes up, Shirou can be found in the hallways or in the cafeteria.]

[Action; Locked to Rin]

[Shirou is sitting in a chair near the bed in which Rin lay. He's been here for a little while, as evidenced by his nodding off.]

I would suggest you be more careful, but the squid was honestly sheer bad luck.

I was careful. Who suspects a squid to just randomly show up and drag someone with it!?

That's...what I was saying. It was just bad luck.

Well, make sure it doesn't happen again!

[ Well, now she can at least show a bit of gratitude. ]

Hey Shirou.. um.. thank you for saving me. That's what you did, right?

...Yeah, that's what I did. And you're welcome. It's good to see you're all right.

It does feel nice to be up and about. I wasn't out long, was I? There really wasn't anything wrong with me either, right? I didn't read those papers.. they were too boring. Well, it doesn't matter.

[ She'll give a nervous laugh after all of that. ]

Come on, let's go back to where we stay! My roommate is probably wondering where I wa---what if she thinks the two of us--!!! My life is ruined!

...Uh. Why would she think...

I was out overnight and returning with a boy? What do you think she's going to think? What would your roommate think if he saw this!?

...Uh...I'm about 99.9 percent certain that he wouldn't care in the slightest.

There's still a .1% chance he would care though!

Maybe enough to laugh.

You wouldn't let some guy laugh over the idea of us two, would you!?

And how am I supposed to stop him?

By beating him up.

...Have you seen my roommate?

I thought I could place my faith in you, Shirou.

Hey, hey, hey, this isn't a certainty we're talking about here!

You wouldn't defend my honor against someone because they look tough?

Let's just stop dealing in hypotheticals and go home, okay?

Yes, let's get back to our rooms.

[And so Shirou will walk Rin back to her room.]

[ What a proper gentleman.

Of course now this means it's time for awkward parting. ]

Well.. um..

...Is there something else?

No.. I just thought I should say or do something to really show my gratitude, but I'm no good at this kind of thing.

You already thanked me on the way here. Besides, seeing that you're safe is gratifying enough.
