Chapter 07 : that time..

~~○○~~

3 days ago..

After the situation began to calm down, Hans cleaned his little sister's face. Little by little he wiped it with a towel dampened with water. Moreover, Rachel was calm and seemed to obey. She felt that what Hans was doing now was really what she felt when she was unconscious like before. Apart from that, Hans noticed the change in Rachel's hair. He didn't think that the white hair had covered all of Rachel's bangs. When fighting, white hair only covers part of her bangs.

Moreover..

(Rachel is currently not sick. But there are times when she has to get special medicine.)

As long as he remembered what his mother said at that time, for some reason... it made him feel uneasy. Whether before the incident, or after... he still felt that anxiety and made him almost lose focus.

Unfortunately, he prefers to remain silent and doesn't want to make his little sister worried or scared.

Until he didn't realize that his hand accidentally touched the glass and it fell.

"Brother!"

But swiftly, he rushed to collect the broken glass with the handkerchief that was next to him.

"I'm okay, Rachel. Maybe because... sleepy."

Even though he said it like that, somehow it felt quite strange to him.

"Are you sure? But I guess, you look like that. Why don't you just take a rest? I should rest too."

Even though Rachel said that, Hans interrupted her conversation.

"No, Rachel. Actually. I also... want to tell you something. But, I'm really afraid whether you will accept this reality or not."

He saw that Rachel was silent as if she was willing to listen. On the contrary, it made Hans a little doubtful.

*************

(I'm sure that Rachel also feels the same way.)

*************

He remembered what Chris had said before. Take a breath for a moment. Until he finally got up the courage to tell Rachel about the situation.

"You know, Rachel. The reason why I can be like this. And also, the reason why you can be like this."

By showing his right hand which was wrapped in bandages. He opened the bandage, and showed the wound to her.

"Because I.. I will continue to bear this wound, as well as the wound that has changed me. Until now.."

Unfortunately, the conversation suddenly stopped. Because, there was a commotion around the medical center. Suddenly, he stood up even though it made his head start to hurt again. He silent for a moment so he could endure the pain. Until then..

"I want to tell you something important. But unfortunately... right now, there are things I have to do. Rachel. Be a good little sister and rest. I'll be right back. I promise!"

"Brother.."

Even though he couldn't bear it, he had no choice but to go out and find out about the commotion.

Apart from that, Rachel who saw her older brother, who seemed to be forcing himself out... could only be silent, and also sad. To be honest, she didn't understand what had happened to him. Everything she saw, as well as what she heard, was quite difficult for her to understand. Moreover, when she saw her right hand which was wrapped in bandages, as well as the wound that had been shown by his older brother. For some reason, she felt that she had felt all of that. Unfortunately, she couldn't remember that.

Meanwhile... Hans forced himself to go to the scene of the commotion. The dizziness occurred again, but he didn't pay attention to it. He kept walking.. and kept walking. What's worse, the noise he heard was also starting to get weaker. Until not long after.. He realized that someone was supporting him. Slowly but surely, he watched for a moment and then realized that his body was starting to feel weak. Maybe that's why he had to be helped by a medical doctor.

As soon as they arrived at the scene of the commotion, they saw Chris who was unconscious, and his phone which looked like it had exploded.

"Chris!"

Unfortunately, when Hans was about to approach Chris, Hans suddenly lost his strength... until he finally fainted.

"That's right. Chris Redfield, looks like he was attacked by someone. It would be very strange if Chris suddenly fell unconscious outside and no one was with him. I also had time to help Hans who forced himself to find out what was happening even though in the end he ended up fainting. The only thing that was suspicious was Chris' phone which exploded for no reason. It's best to tell Dominic about this. I'm counting on you. Laura."
