(I have no idea where we are in terms of time, so this paragraph takes place in the morning the next day- if this is to early/late, I’ll either wait for everyone else to get here or skip to all of you)

Helix stood outside the hospital doors, jacket tightly hugging his waist. He had bags under his eyes- not only was he unable to go to sleep as Deper had advised, but the last few months have been tiresome for him in terms of work.

It didn't help that the wolf was incredibly worried for their friend.

He started fidgeting with his white gloves (Helix wouldn't enter a hospital without them- thinking of all the germs and viruses he could fine while being inside was truly disgusting to the wolf).

"Helix!" his head snapped in the voice's direction. A tall, lanky figure was making their way towards him. Black smoke erupted from under their long black coat, as fancy black boots thumped againced the ground. Grey gloves decorated with black circles hung loosely around his hand, as if about to slip off.

The demon looked different from the last time Helix saw him- back then, he didn't have dark rings under his eyes, scares on his pale neck or bandages hanging around his forearm.

"The hell happened to you?" the wolf blurt out without thinking.

"Me?" the demon asked once they were close enough to have a proper conversation. Deper looked down at himself before realising what Helix was referring to.

"Ah- I work in a hospital- most patients there are... You know what they are. Either driven by pain or they just lost it. I love being a medic and doctor, but the hell I have to go through to be able to do my job. Now- Kat. What's up with them?"

"Oh- I wasn't aware you worked in such a troublesome place..."

"Every place can be troublesome- it's not the people's fault though. Lead me to the nurse- I should be able to see Kat, and I'll make something up for you too."

"Thanks Dep."

The demon spoke with the nurse, clearly fighting over something and Helix stood by the doors. He didn't want to ruin anything by throwing in his words.

"Helix- come on" Deper signalled after a while, as a nervous and wide-eyes nurse led them down the corridor.

Either the conversation with Deper scared her, or this was her first time seeing a mind demon.

After a short while the two were standing in front of a blue door, as it loomed over them. Deper turned to Helix, his face serious. The nurse already left, nowhere to be found.

"Listen- I managed to get some information. Kat had been in a coma, but only for about three weeks- they awoke sometime last week. They lied about them still being in a coma. I have no idea why, but point is, Helix, Kat may not act as they had before. They might not remember things, and act differently. I'll help out, I've seen this a few times before, but from what I managed to pull out of the nurse, they drugged her with something because they were saying 'unacceptable things'"

The demon paused for a moment, scanning the other's face. Helix was deathly still- he didn't know what to think of this.

"Now- that is not something I believe. At all. You can’t drug someone because of an absurd reason like that. I'll have to talk to some doctor but- Helix, there’s something horribly weird here. I haven't seen one doctor yet, and the nurse told me all of them are currently busy. Besides that- she led us here without asking about your relations with Kat, nor did she get any signal for me to be able to come here. One moment, she was telling me we weren't allowed to see Kat for the next week, then suddenly, she was leading us here. Helix- we have to get Kat out of here and into an actual hospital. The things going on here are horrible" the demon now had his hands pressed againced his friend's shoulders, looking him straight in the eyes.

Helix gulped, before shaking his head.

He wasn't believing what was going on right now, but he trusted Deper's word. The doctor helped him and his friends plenty of times, there was no reason for the wolf to doubt the demon's judgment on the situation.

But something was pulling him the other way- telling him that no, Kat was fine; they were fine and they should stay here. It was safe here.

Helix shook of those obscured thoughts, though instead of disappearing they just hid in the back of his mind.

"...Okay. Let's go see Kat now" the wolf managed to utter, before turning around the pushing the doors open.
