“ Huh? Oh.”
She questions before suddenly recalling her meeting. It had only been a few minutes, at the very most a half hour since its conclusion and yet, the memory of it had already faded from her mind. How absentminded his Lieutenant was…
“Yeeeah, I got told off. Said that if I followed directions like they SAID then more lives woulda’ been saved but that’s a bunch a’ crap.”
“I mean… it’s not entirely untr-”
“Oh n’ I broke the table too…guess I got a lil’ mad.”
“You broke Head Lieutenant Oki’s table?!”
… Yu exclaims, panic clearly set in his tone.
“ So, this is Kurochi. Like the cats.”
… Omoni offers as a response to his distress, unintentionally deflecting as always does. ‘Why are you like this... ‘ he thinks as he winces at the quick approach of a headache. Lieutenant Oki would most likely drop the incident from her mind but... sooner or later, someone would have to find fault with her actions and react in turn. And if they were unable to squeeze an appropriate response out of her, (which virtually all would find impossible) eventually it would always find its way back down to her Captain. Her brief introduction to Emi would find itself lost in his own perception, now occupied with his own anxieties at the mere thought of Omoni’s future outbursts. Junko’s surprise at her superior’s sudden entrance is as well unperceivable, his attention now robbed towards the incoming reiryoku signature that had entered the hospital now.
Just the man he needed to see.
“Omoni! Where are ya!"
The brute flinches, her head violently snapping towards the source of the call.
" You gonna make me burst down walls to find you, or you gonna do it yourself?!! "
His head turns to Omoni’s back, already slowly approaching an empty desk in his office.
“Don’t!” he wishes to cry out, but it’s far too late. Her grip is firm and before he can process, she heaves the desk up by the leg before hurling it with immense force through the wall… and the next wall…. And the next… and the next. The dust doesn’t even settle before she roars in response.
“ THE HELL’ER YOU HERE FOR?! WHY AREN’T YOU IN THE LAND OF THE LIVING YOU IDIOT?!”
Still coated in rage yet in an act to prove her “undivided” attention was still on her Captain, she turns back to face him.
“ I’M STILL LISTENING!!!”
“Ugh…"
“… you two are free to go.”
He nods at Emi and once more at Junko, signaling their permission to leave if they wished. The more important matters he had wished to discuss with them had already been revealed, so they didn’t need to be subject to what would follow. Yu steps from behind his desk and stomps his way out to the lobby, emerging from the giant hole that was once... a moderately sized doorway. Directly from his initial exit, the barbarian comes into vision– it wasn’t exactly easy to miss him due to his large stature and with each of their encounters, a soft groan would emerge from the blonde. The Captain’s sore expression is familiar to Jinnosuke, now further intensified thanks to his own Lieutenant’s actions.
“Perfect timing, Jinnosuke. Let’s– … hm?”
… Yu begins in a sarcastic tone before the sight of another Shinigami startles him. Only inches from the destruction and perhaps the only one not visibly startled from Omoni’s rampage stands Jatiri who in response to their eyes' initial meeting expresses his wish.
“H-hello, I'm Jatiri, third seat of the Ninth. I'm looking for lieutenant Shinobu Abe."
Despite holding such a high rank in the Ninth Division, the closest division to the Fourth location-wise, Yu hadn’t recognized the boy at all. Perhaps their rankings had shifted after Maho’s demise, but regardless, the mere mention of the Ninth… grew a lump in Yu’s throat. Once focused solely on Jatiri, his vision shifts through him, now seeking eye contact with a nurse behind him already approaching.
“Lieutenant Abe has a visitor. Take him to her room, please.”
… he asks of her, obtaining only a nod as a reply from the nurse before shuffling past the boy and down the wrecked hallway. She would expect Jatiri to follow her as it was easier to get lost within the deeper wings of the hospital where their most critical patients remained.
The Captain’s head now quickly turns over his shoulder in Omoni’s direction.
“Get Jinnosuke in an exam room so we can do a clinical risk assessment. I’ll be there soon to debrief the two of you… and please. No more throwing things whether its property… or him.”
Yu’s plea to his Lieutenant would hopefully convince her to contain herself enough to complete his objective, even though all knew it would no doubt fall on deaf ears. At least he could trick himself into believing he tried. With a deep sigh, he leaves the pair in the aftermath of their enthusiastic greetings to each other, his oddly, stealthy march leading him down the same hallway to the station's intensive care unit.
“She’s still unresponsive. Please make your visit short, if possible,”
… the shy nurse whispers, her dominant hand placed on the sliding doors to Shinobu’s room. Her gaze shifts downward, obviously filled with remorse for the 3rd Seat. Having to deal with the death of his Captain and now the potential loss of his Lieutenant whose own health was as frail as the wind-- all in the same week.
With her head still lowered, her hand slides from the door’s surface as she makes her quick exit, shuffling down the dark hallway and leaving Jatiri to himself...
... as far he was aware.
