Chapter 35:Mechanical heart: Regret

Rika and Mavy already went searching for the two of them. After an hour they immediately spotted them thanks to them being not detected. When they arrived, Mavy, Rika and everyone else are shocked.

[Rika]: Whaaaaa...

[Rika]: I can't believe it...

Rika hurriedly came to help Tomoya. She started CPR to him. "Hey, Brother. You can't die here!" Tomoya barely breathes and his heart is continuing to beat then stopping. It repeated countless times. When Tomoya was about to give in, Sumi cuts through Tomoya's side to manually make his heart beat. They did this until Tomoya came back to life, barely. Mavy carried Tomoya to his back and ran in the nearest cave. Everyone started to follow maybe when Rika notices that Sumi is not moving. "Sumi, Wake up!" Rika shakes her but she is not waking up. So, Rika carry Sumi away.

When they got there, Mavy and Rika lay them down on the side of the cave and further treats them. Sumi wakes up while Tomoya was still unconscious. Sumi kneel before Rika, begging for forgiveness.

[Sumi]: I'm sorry Rika, It's all my fault.

[Rika]: Yes, It's your fault...

Sumi was shocked when Rika said it.

[Sumi]: Im sor...

[Rika]: Stop it. It's also our fault. For making both of you do reckless things.

[Sumi]: No, I...

[Rika]: Stop it, Just rest.

[Sumi]: Rika...

Rika is holding back her anger and her tears while Mavy is explaining things to their comrades. Sumi was holding Tomoya's hand while crying, begging for him to wake up. "Tomoya, Please... Wake up." Sumi's regret and sadness deepened when she saw the injury Tomoya had. She further cries until falling asleep.

After three whole days, Tomoya finally wakes up. He tried to get up but his body is too painful and tired to move yet. Sumi and Rika went to his room seeing him already woke up. Sumi and Rika run and hugs him.

[Rika]: Tomoyaaaaa... Brother!

[Sumi]: I'm sorry, i'm sorry Tomoya.

[Tomoya]: both of you, calm down a bit, ok?

[Rika]: Are you feeling fine?

[Sumi]: There's nothing wrong with you, isn't it?

[Tomoya]: I'm fine, but both of you are strangling me... I can't breathe...

Rika and Sumi let go of him. Rika then smacks Tomoya's head.

[Tomoya]: Ouchh!!! It hurt...

[Rika]: You're too reckless Tomoya. You made me... The whole community worried!

[Tomoya]: I'm sorry, i guess?

[Rika]: I'm glad you're fine *smiles*

[Sumi]: Tomoya, I...

[Tomoya]: I did it because i want to save you. But you are the one who save me i think.

[Rika]: What really happened that day?

[Tomoya]: Ah... I ran to her direction after i lost my pursuers. Sumi got cornered by many Ex-Machina's so i joined. She got stabbed--- Wait Sumi!! Are you ok now!?!? I'm sorry i failed to protect you.

[Sumi]: No it's my fault. I just lost some of my capabilities but i'm fine now.

[Rika]: Continue.

[Tomoya]: She got stabbed so i carry her and i can't remember what happened next.

[Rika]: So that's what happened.
