dude he's like in a coma

[tenwholeryou]

Characters: Kotarou, visitors
Format: any
This log is: open
Location: one of the infirmary rooms.
Summary: After this battle, Kotarou is transferred to the infirmary to recover from his Exaclan-induced coma. This log covers the three days he's out, and his waking up after that. Depending on 'when' you visit, he might not respond, but feel free to mingle around the unconscious kid.
Warnings: moar trauma. Copious angst. Possibly people will get punched.

The room is small, one of the minor rooms set aside for students who aren't in the infirmary for a scraped knee or a cold. There are several metal chairs scattered around the room, as well as a single table and a curtain that can be pulled around the bed if need be. The bed itself swamps the boy lying in it, with white sheets and a faded green coverlet; a monitor is within reach on the bedside unit. It beeps every minute, on the dot, to let the nurse know his charge is still alive. Despite this and the drip in his arm, visitors are assured that he will wake up with no negative side-effects within a few days.

She wasn't sure she believed the woman. That guy with... with... she couldn't remember, but the bare thought of whatever it was made her scars ache and a cold frisson of something wtinge through her, but that guy who'd taken her haid said he wasn't going to hurt her, and he had lied.

The Merciful Goddess... She had helped, helped Huashi see her daddy when he was gone, then helped heal her back, but she'd said Daddy wouldn't be hurt, and that was a lie too. They lied all the time, so why, how, could she trust that woman? But... she could think of Kotarou as in the same situation when daddy had been gone. He had come back. So Huashi tried to smother the fear of death and squeezed the slack fingers.

"But I can't do anything..." And that was worse in her mind. Belief only got you so far, after all.

"And neither can I. It's only Kotarou who can do something now." Kallen didn't like feeling helpless in a situation like this, but she knew better. Sometimes you just had to put your faith in other people when you could do nothing. The same had went for her and her mother's recovery and she left protecting Lelouch in Suzaku's hands. She knew he would be capable of it.
