The Power to Protect

At Bar Akagumi - An hour later - 

Yuhi didn't get a chance to tell her any details since she rushed off so fast, so she didn't know what she expected. But when she saw several needles piercing Yoru's shoulders and legs, her face turned pale, and she immediately broke down in tears. There was somebody else in the bar alongside the usual crew—a tall man with dark maroon-colored hair wearing glasses and a blue-colored uniform.

There was something familiar about him, but right now, her focus was on Yoru. 

"I'm not dead," Yoru assured her, but it was hard for her to believe him due to his current state. Sumire felt like her heart would stop when she saw the number of needles; before she knew it, she was crying.

"Yoru," Sumire sobbed his name.

"It just hurts a lot,"

That wasn't the right answer since she only cried more.
