Takina waits thirty-three hours before she gets sick of dodging nurses. It takes very little effort to locate Chisato’s room; she flags down a harried-looking older man, badgers Kurumi until she complies, and stakes out outside Chisato’s ward instead of wandering the halls and losing sleep.

She thinks someone must have spoken to the staff, because no one bothers to move her. There’s a little seat a few metres down the hall that she slumps into, and the Lycoris badge on the shoulder of her uniform prevents people from asking her any questions. It’s not perfect — perfect would involve being allowed into Chisato’s room, but she’d rather not push her luck — but it’s something.

If she focuses, Takina swears she can hear her last words to her before they took her to the hospital pinging around the back of her skull. It gets stronger the closer she gets to the door and the girl in the bed behind it — Swear you’ll be here when I come back? Promise me?, a thread tugging her ever onwards. After a power nap, she gets up and starts pacing past Chisato’s door, just to be close to her.

//

She doesn’t get to be close to her for a while.

The more she thinks about it, the more Takina gets the impression that Chisato didn’t exactly know where she was going when they pulled the two of them out of the tower. They were both half-conscious at the time, bleeding and tired. Would she hold her to a promise she might not remember?

(It doesn’t matter, Takina decides; she’ll hold herself to it. She took Chisato’s hand in that ambulance and said, I promise you, and that has to count for something.)

In the days following the fallout of the attack, Chisato vanishes. There’s a brief panic, and then Mika and Kurumi announce that they were keeping an eye on plane departures anyway, so the panic morphs into exasperation. She snuck out of the hospital, one assumes, even though Chisato has only ever been capable of being subtle when someone puts a gun in her hand.

“Well, I’ll send you off to get her when we pin her down,” Mika says one morning, and all of them look at Takina at once. She blinks over at him.

“Me?”

He shrugs. “She’s in love with you. Who else would it be?”
