Sense of Loss

The only thing that comes to mind right now is, 'The Sleeping Beauty'. I guess the story itself doesn't have much to do with anything. But the name certainly fits the situation.

Rumi is currently in a coma. The surgery went smoothly, but they couldn't fix everything at once. Apparently, her spinal cord was also affected. She may never be able to walk again.

You'd think that there would be a quirk out there strong enough to heal her injuries. But, as of now, the doctors are stumped about it.

Rumi is set to be moved to another hospital a bit closer to home now. She still hasn't woken up after about 10 hours.

I can't really stay by her side at all times. Although I very much want to. I need to take care of Eri. I can't really leave her unattended. When Rumi wakes up we both need to be in tip-top shape.

Eri... I guess she could heal Rumi. Actually, she should be able to heal everyone that was injured during the last villain attack.

Hell, she should be able to heal anything that isn't dead. Rewind is likely a lot more powerful than both One for All and All for One. But Eri is still very young, she isn't really able to use it properly yet.

But is she ready for that? Her quirk is definitely under control, but we don't really know it's limitations. What if she reverts something too much? I would also love for her to keep her childlike innocence a bit longer.

I will likely end up giving her the choice. At this point, it would be selfish to not do anything about it. Although, her answer isn't much of a mystery. She will accept.

Especially since Rumi is currently in this state. There is no way she will refuse helping her. As for what happened to the others...

Toshinori and Aizawa still in the surgery room. They are both still not in the clear. But, the variety of healing quirks that the government is willing to employ to keep Toshi alive might actually be able to preserve their lives.

The rest are mostly out of the red. A few students seem to have lost their lives, which means that Nezu must make a public apology.

The students that lost their lives were the ones that decided to run away from the circle. The teachers are being blamed for not protecting them properly. Although, most of the people agree that the situation was out of their hands.

It feels a bit strange really. Thankfully, not that many people actually blame the heroes for that day, It was the usual suspects. Sketchy news articles and conspiracy theorists or anti-vaxxers or some shit.

Surprisingly, any scrutiny that might've come my way is erased by the applause. My brutal and over the top actions that day seem to resonate with the public. As they were enraged at the group of villains for attacking children.

I might've caused a lot of casualties, but I did so in a highly stressful situation. No one reported the fact that I basically tortured a villain both mentally and physically on purpose.

You can bet the media would be having a field day with that one.

I was the one to handle Rumi's transport. I made sure to keep her completely stationary. I encased her and all of the doctors in a light sphere. Getting back to Musutafu took me about two hours.

One of the doctors had a quirk that could keep Rumi in a stable condition during the flight. The others were tagging along in case something bad happened. That and to give aid to the hospitals in Musutafu.

It was still faster than with a plane, as they didn't need to wait and prepare the damn thing. The doctors safely transferred Rumi to Musutafu's best hospital, where they also remained. To help the overworked doctors of Musutafu.

Right now, Rumi only needed to be supervised, there was little chance for further complications. It would also be hard, as most of the doctors were busy with the injuries from the villain incident.

The villains actually took the most space. As they were around 20000 of them. Although a good number of them were already beyond any help.

The prisons were also being stuffed full of recovering villains. Most of the cells were used as recovery bays at this point. I must say, they moved really fast. Collecting every single villain would take a lot of time.

I guess a lot of people volunteered to help. A lot of heroes were seen helping out too. Either out of kindness or clout chasing, it matters little. As long as they are actually helping.

After staying near Rumi for a few hours, I need to go back home. It's already in the middle of the night. But I'm sure Eri's still awake.

She is likely still waiting there, I still don't know how to break the news to her.

Although, she probably already knows something happened. As happy and innocent as she is, she is very perceptive. Sometimes she's even scary, takes after her mother(Rumi).

I wonder if Eri will be able to help Rumi regain her quirk... I remember that she had the ability to rewind genetics. Although, she might not be able to actually use it yet.

Upon reaching the door of our house, I could already sense her. She was on the living room couch, she seemed to be asleep. She probably tried to wait for me and Rumi to arrive but fell asleep eventually.

I didn't open the door, as that would've woken Eri up. She needs some rest after all. I also need a lot of rest. I feel quite drained...

I entered the house through the lock. It was a trick I learned in order to sneak back home without Rumi inquiring about my whereabouts.

It never actually worked with her, but it was great for stealth. Thankfully, I made sure to stay away from any other women, she always seems to check for any unfamiliar perfume...

I always think about her, it will take a while for her to wake up. You can guess that I will really miss her meanwhile...

I couldn't help but notice that Eri was trembling a bit. She was either cold or having a nightmare. Both of which are unacceptable. Even if I'm in a stump, I won't let Little Eri suffer.

I gently picked her up and took her to bed.

The shared room, as I recently started to call it. It used to be Rumi's bedroom, then it turned in 'The Freeloader's and Rumi's Bedroom'(You can guess who named it that), then it turned into the only place all three of us ever sleep in.

I obviously tucked her in properly and lay right beside her. Hugging her close to me. She probably woke up during the whole thing. But she definitely fell right back to sleep.

Little Eri is tired after all. And so am I.

I have a lot of things to do for tomorrow. But now, I want to relax. Which is very hard. But, feeling Eri's little horn in my side calms me down greatly.

I wouldn't be able to sleep tonight if it wasn't for Eri.
