HINO
All he could do was apologize as he held the phone still stained in blood. He didn't know what else he could say. He was half way back to the venue, when he recieved the news. It was a good thing he was still nearby. He managed to catch Sumire being carried into the ambulance, and immediately called Sano to make the arrangements.
"Where are you right now?"
"The hospital." Hino managed to say.
"Then that news report is real."
"I'm sorry Yuhi. I didn't realize Mashima was out--if I did--" Hino stopped mid-sentence.
If he did, he wouldn't have left her alone. Why did he leave her alone? After that discussion with Nakara regarding the Black alice organisation, he should have known better.
"I'm on my way."
"Yuhi--" Hino started.
"I'm already passing security. I don't care what you say Hino. I'm going to her. I'll be there soon. Just, please make sure to keep her alive."
