Chapter 8: Hangover

Chapter 8: Hangover

I woke up. My head hurts. It really does.

I was completely inebriated by alcohol, I remember... And Yuki took care of me...

*Why is Yuki sleeping next to me in the same bed?

NoI don't remember this part, at all...*

"Marc, are you awake?"

She sleepily opens her eyes. *Oh, wow!*

*What should I do!

I am awake!*

Yuki. Why are you sleeping here?

"Oh, did you forget about last night?"

*

I keep telling myself that. I have work to do today as well. I need to get a grip or Ill never get there on time!

I slap my cheeks between my palms. Slap, slap, slap. *Okay*. When I got out of the shower, Yuki was gone. *Good. Ive got to go get ready*. I looked at the table and saw that breakfast had been prepared. A note on the table read, "*Please eat well. Thank you for yesterday. Huh this got to me.*

Rick's words came back to my mind.

It's okay to love a human being. It's not so bad to see them off.

*No. Does he have any idea how long it's taken me to get over feeling this way after Nobunaga left this world? It will be even more difficult if it was someone I loved. It would take me hundreds of years to recover. But I can't seem to contain my own feelings. I'm in trouble.*

That day at work was a disaster. The nurse pointed out both the test order error and my mistake in prescribing the medication and helped me out. She's an excellent nurse.

She said, "Dr. Marc, youre acting strange today. You usually don't make mistakes like this. I think you should go home today, doctor!

But the medical examination..."

"Well then, Ill help you out today, doctor. Sounds good! You can sit right here!

I was a little touched by what the nurse said as she was walking out of the examination room. She's really good, isn't she? Or maybe it was just to avoid more mistakes. I couldnt help it, my mind is acting weird. I stayed quiet as the nurse requested. Then the outpatient department hours were finished, and after that, I went to the foreign patients' ward. There, too, I got scolded by the ward nurse for the various things I did."
