Hey guys! I hope y'all enjoy this chapter! Sorry for the slight wait, I was procrastinating on writing for a bit. Anyway, the song above is Follow You by Imagine Dragons! Feel free to comment!


Waking up after a coma is the worst.


That's what Shouta decides as he stares at the ceiling with his cold dead eyes. Beside him was Recovery Girl, who was nattering on about something or other, really, he couldn't care less.
