Last time, Takashi and his pals learned that Nimi and Manion were taken to different hospitals after their accident. They first rushed to Kitano, where Nimi was taken, since it was closer. Upon arriving none of the doctors outside would say anything and Takashi watched as Nimi was bagged up and taken away, only being able to stare in disbelief at the realization.
Since Daisan, where Manion was taken, was farther away Takashi and Ooki waited while Mitsu ran home to grab some cab money and a change of clothes since they couldn't flash their ZEROS attire in the hospital.
At Daisan they arrived to see Manion's parents outside the operating room. The doctor came out informing them that his lung was punctured and spilling blood but more importantly his neck had been broken and nothing could be done about it. His parents let in to see their son, Manion's mother could only wail in agony while outside Takashi, Mitsu and Ooki had no clue how to process it. At the age of sixteen, two of their friends were dead in an accident.
No idea who was supposed to be speaking. I'd assume Shinobu since I can't think of anyone else who'd want it and having something to remember her boyfriend by makes enough sense to me.
That's all for this chapter. Next time, Takashi drops out.
Probably won't be a for a few days though. Between spending time with family on the 4th and getting ready to/moving across town I'm not going to have time for shit this week.
