- Summary: Hana comes by to check on Yua--but while she navigates what's safe to talk about given all that's gone on, necessity interrupts.
<Pose Tracker> Yua Ijuuin has posed.
Half a week ago, Yua almost died again. Since then, her health has been... relatively stable; she hasn't had any more incidents with the crash cart, so they haven't had to evict Hiroki again, so she's been able to keep him in view the whole time, which is important because she's always terrified he's going to disappear.
And that she will. But Miho visits every day and makes sure she's still here, besides the fact that Yua's taken to messaging her with welfare updates when she's not here so that she can feel better about going home.
Miho has work, though, so she'll come later in the day; first, in the morning, a nurse supports her to sit in the chair, which is harder than she'd like it to be after ten days mostly spent in bed. It's not that she can't stand up, it's just...
Yua was given to falls at the best of times; it's so much worse, now.
She has, at least, successfully been pulled up for breakfast; Hiroki's having breakfast, too, through his feeding tube, which has a little of Yua's breast milk and more of some unknown donor woman's. (Her body didn't expect she'd need to do this for another month at least; while she's producing more milk every time she pumps it out, it's still not enough. The doctors assure her that now she's started, it will only get better, but... what if she's broken as a mother...? ... she has a lot of worries like that.)
Breakfast is scrambled eggs, toast with jam, a cup of tea and some cereal; she set it up herself, because she only wants help if it's Mimi, and she's mostly gotten through the eggs at least. She's learned, by now, that she needs to go for the hot thing first -- because in the chill of the hospital AC, it never stays hot for long.
<Pose Tracker> Hana Fukami has posed.
Hana Fukami is on the air again! She's been welcomed back by her show, and her audience is treated to a Hana with a certain spark in her these days, more alert, more incisive--and perhaps, more fun. But whether that's good for the show's future remains to be scene. Speaking of a future, though...
Hana is still intent on saving Yua, now that she knows there might be something she can do. That's a long-term goal, though; right now, the goal is to help her through what she's dealing with now...
And so, Hana arrives now, this early morning, and knocks on the wall rather than coming in immediately.
"Yuarin?" she asks. "It's Hana!"
<Pose Tracker> Yua Ijuuin has posed.
Yua's been watching Hana's show, as it happens. For now, at least, they don't seem to have taken her off the air...
It's not airing right now, of course. It's not being filmed yet! And so, knock knock -- "Brekkie time! You can come in! Just... hands!!"
Hana knows about hands.
Yua, sitting in the lounging chair beside her bed, has breakfast on a tray on that table which swings over her lap -- and her feet are up on the reclining footrest. "Ko~to~ba!" She chirps, merrily, despite the fact that without makeup and with ten nights of poor hospital sleep she's really looking quite run down. "You came! Hi!!"
She looks to Hiroki's crib, as she says: "Hiro-tan's eating, too! I hope I get to hold him after this..."
<Pose Tracker> Hana Fukami has posed.
It's been a good show! But she plans to have some unusual guests on sometime...
Breakfast! Hana smiles and steps inside, waving to Yua and Hiroki before she stops by the station on the wall to saitize her hands. Then, "It's nice to see you," she says. "I did!"
clearly tired, run down... It makes sense, considering.
"Oh! He's so precious!" she says, and coos a little.
"I hope so, too! ...How are you feeling?" She walks over.
<Pose Tracker> Yua Ijuuin has posed.
"I'm tired," Yua sighs, "even though I was just asleep... weird, right?"
There are other chairs, at least, though there's a washbasin and a towel occupying one. The other is free for Hana to pull up!
"I had a bad day a few days ago... they said I got really sick. Like, my heart was sick...? But it's okay," she shakes her head, smiling to Hana. "I'm feeling better now! So... maybe I can go home tomorrow!!"
She probably isn't going home tomorrow.
<Pose Tracker> Hana Fukami has posed.
"Your body needs rest," Hana says. "...But it feels like too much, I bet." She remembers her own recovery from a very different kind of injury. She does however take a chair! Yaay chair.
"Oh?" Hana asks, and looks sympathetic. "I'm sorry," she says. "That sounds frightening."
But she is feeling better, so, "I'm glad to hear it. I hope you can go home soon!"
"But until then, I'm glad to be able to come and say 'hi'."
<Pose Tracker> Yua Ijuuin has posed.
"Me too!" Yua pouts. "This is too much... ten days! Ten hospital days! Who needs ten hospital days?!"
Yua, clearly.
She sighs, though, as her shoulders sink. "Though... Dr. Matsuhashi thought it would be safer in hospital, before I had him... since I wouldn't get into any trouble. I guess that's still true..."
Miho is at work, but is that work as a contractor or work at something else?
... Yua doesn't make her clarify most of the time. It's safer, that way.
<Pose Tracker> Hana Fukami has posed.
Hana gives Yua another sympathetic look. "It's a lot," she agrees.
But... it does sound like it's best for her to be here. Especially considering...
Well, the sort of 'work' she does when she's not in the hospital.
So Hana decides not to press on that. Instead she says, "So I did take care of things with Matsumoto," she says, dropping the honorific because she doesn't actually respect him at all and doesn't have to pretend with Yua. It's the little things. "It's handled. ...And I'm just fine. In the end, I just had to stand up to him."
<Pose Tracker> Yua Ijuuin has posed.
"Really? You stood up to him...?" Yua marvels, as Hana insists she's fine. "You're really okay, Kotoba? It's not just hospital okay?" You know -- the way people insist everything is all right when you're in the hospital, even though it definitely isn't.
Yua hates hospital okay, because it always feels like a tacit admission that they think she'll die.
Still, a moment later, she smiles. "Then... congratulations! You really did it! Yay!" Somehow, despite being hospital okay, Yua still manages to sparkle...
<Pose Tracker> Hana Fukami has posed.
"Really really," Hana confirms. "In the end... it would've hurt him more than it hurt me, for him to try to spread those rumors. I had the upper hand. And I still do. ...So he's not going to do anything to me, and I don't have to think about him much anymore at all."
Hana remembers 'hospital okay' from back then, too.
"Did I ever tell you what happened, back then?" She wonders. Then she smiles. "Well, whether I did or not... Thank you."
"I feel happier. ...And things are going well at home, too."
<Pose Tracker> Yua Ijuuin has posed.
"You're so confident now," Yua says. "If you can forget about him... I'm happy! He doesn't deserve it!"
She shakes her head, when Hana asks. "Uh-uh... but I can guess. I'm glad he's gone. And that's great," she adds, smiling.
That's the precise moment that a doctor barges in -- well, he knocks first -- wanting to see Yua, right when she's in the middle of a visit! Mouuuuu!!!!!
As much as she pouts, though, she still agrees to see him... even though it means she'll have to see more Hana another day.
