Nervous silence reigned for a few minutes until two men and a woman entered the room. Two men were wearing the military uniform of darker shade while the woman was dressed in civilian garments.
- "Captain Sameshima, Kusari Office of Intelligence. We will have a few questions for you once... you are in a better state of mind. For the time being, we will take care of your security".
The officer looked at the Shimamori's guards who, after receiving an approving nod from Dr. Kitagawa, left the premise. The Doctor turned back to Yuki:
- "Now we will be transferring you to our care wing where you will remain until your state stabilises. I think the questioning can wait until then. Now, is there anyone you would like to see? Normally, this is not allowed but you are under guard and meeting someone familiar can help you both talk and recover. Just remember that depending on their position we might not be able to share all the details of your... encounter.".

Again, she did not speak. Only a long silence. Her eyes showed emptiness once more. Her face was facing the doctor. If the doctor could pay attention, she would notice that Sinon left them.
Perhaps Sinon Yuki will never be able to recover from what happened. She was alive but her mind was elsewhere. Only time could tell what will happen.
- "Maybe, we are taking things too fast. Captain Sameshima, please escort patient Sinon to her room in the care bay. We will be regularly tending to her but for now, she needs to be alone. I hope you understand that right now further questioning is impossible".
Sameshima smirked and stormed outside making a sign for the other two officers to escort Yuki out to her room where she would be spending her nearest time healing.
Fort Wakkanai
The two officers and Sameshima escorted Sinon Yuki to the room where she will spend two weeks there. The room was pretty empty. The only things inside were a bed, a chair and a table. They putted Sinon on the bed and left the room.
Like always, Sinon was stuck in her mind and thoughts.
The door opened and the neon light fell upon the dark floor of the room where Yuki has spent the last twelve days. A short white-coated woman walked in with a tab in her hands. By the looks of her strangely upbeat movements, one could easily guess Dr. Kitagawa in her.
- "Sinon-san, I am sorry to barge in without a prior notice. You have a visitor.".
Kitagawa stepped aside and a man's figure walked in. It was Shimamori. This time, not clad in armour but wearing a regular black suit one can expect from the nobility on daily business. He was alone but apparently there were a few guards nearby given the calm look of Dr. Kitagawa.
- "Konnichiwa, Sinon-san. How is your well-being?".
Shimamori casually sat on a free chain in the room. His body language did not show any nervousness or hostility.
- "I am having a short break from state affairs and I have decided to check up on you. Judging by the records, nobody has visited you, neither your father nor Takahashi-san. This is understandable: your condition and staying here are not known to many. But perhaps if you feel better we can invite someone.".

Almost two complete weeks have passed. During the first week, it was hard for the doctors to interact with Sinon. For seven days, she was like a dead body. Things began to change slowly when it was the doctor Kitagawa. Somehow and without explainations, Sinon was 'more' active. Seeing her was like an angel among her thoughts.
With more interactions with Kitagawa, Sinon talked a bit more with the following days. None visited her because she did not want to and if people would visit her anyway, they would be sad and angry. The 19th Jully, someone visited her. It was Shimamori and Kitagawa was there as well. At first, she was kind of happy to see the doctor but, about the man, Sinon seemed to be neutral. She listened what the man said.
''No.'' She said. Her voice was clear but on the other hand, the woman was not stable enough to leave nor to receive visitors.
- "Being alone is also fine if you need solitude. Just remember that there are people who genuinely care about you. You are also a member of the clan and so the clan will provide you utmost support as long as it is needed".
While the marques was talking Dr. Kitagawa gave him a tablet describing the treatment and recent developments. Shimamori gave the report a quick glance and after a small pause and a nod to Kitagawa continued:
- "Is there anything you would like us to do, Sinon-san? The doctor here says that you are showing some improvement and it would be beneficial for you to get access to the latest news and media content, as well as physical exercises. Perhaps, we can arrange something if you wish.".
Fort Wakkanai ''I want you to leave me...'' Simply said Sinon Yuki to Shimamori. She was maybe there but she was not in mood to talk about the clan or anything else. ''I just want to be alone.'' She added in hope to not really break his mood. But it was not really the good time to have visitors.
- "As you wish, Sinon-san. Whatever is better for your recovery. I will then leave you in the skilled hands of Dr. Kitagawa".
Shimamori nodded to Kitagawa with a smile and stood up from the chair.
- "I hope the KOI do not question you now when you are not ready yet... Once you feel better - feel free to contact me or anyone in the Clan. We will schedule something".
He gave the pad back to the doctor and with a polite slight bow exited the room.
- "Kitagawa-san, Sinon-san, until we meet again.".
Fort Wakkanai
Sinon simply nod to Shimamori and when he left the room, the woman's mood changed and was smiling to the doctor. But the smile turned off when Sinon Yuki took a neutral face. ''Why did he come?'' She asked to Kitagawa while she was inviting her to sit.
The woman looked at the doctor. She find her beautiful and full of joy. It was because of Kitagawa that Sinon could have a foot in reality. Not because she did something special but it was more because of her personality.
