It all smelled of medicine and illness. Nago could see outside through the large window at the end of the hall. Everything was overcast and darkest night ... She herself sat next to the boy who had introduced himself to her as Yuki, Ken's team partner. The pale hospital lamp flickered above them, and the rest of the hallway was silent. Only in the room opposite one heard the voices of the doctors operating on Ken's shoulder. Neither of them had said a word for half an hour ... "What exactly happened?" Yuki finally asked, "Hm? ... oh ... I don't know exactly. Some guy showed up and shot him." answered Nago. "Aha ... and the note?" He wanted to know. "Someone gave it to me at noon today and said I should find Ken Aria and give it to him ..." she said. "And where are you from?" Yuki seemed to want to know everything now. "From an island far in the south ..." said Nago and looked down. "And what are you doing here?" he asked her further.

An hour had passed since they arrived at the hospital ... Then the door opened in front of them and a doctor came out. "He survived the operation well and is now in the wake-up ward. You can take him back with you in about 20 minutes, but he still needs a lot of rest!" he explained. "Okay thanks!" said Yuki, took Nago by the arm and went downstairs with her. When they had waited a while in the anteroom, a nurse brought Ken to the exit. His whole right arm was bandaged ... Yuki supported Ken and Nago trotted along beside them. So they went along the quiet street to the "headquarters" of CoP. A comfortably furnished single-family house, which stood inconspicuously between the others in the light of the street lamps ...
