"It's alright, ma'am. These waters aren't deep enough to drown someone," a police officer told Seiko in an attempt to reassure her as another officer or two climbed down the banks to the river. Within minutes they were back, carefully carrying an unconscious, soaking wet Kaito between the two of them. "Officer Kiriyaga," said one. "We performed CPR on him. He's breathing okay, but shows no signs of regaining consciousness. It's best to take him back to the hospital."
"Thank you very much, Officer Tsuruga," said the policewoman standing at Seiko's side. They carefully put Kaito into an ambulance with the help of a few paramedics who had arrived on the scene. Once they got to the hospital, Officer Kiriyaga instructed Seiko, "Once he wakes up, you should ask him about his childhood. Make sure you get the whole story. Trust me, if you do, you'll understand why he's so broken. We've had a few run-ins with him before. Poor guy has been through things nobody should have to go through." The police officers left, leaving Seiko beside Kaito. His head was bandaged in places, and the cuts on his arms were covered by bandages as well. His mouth was covered by an oxygen mask to help him breathe. Who knew what he would do when he woke up? If he woke up?
