"Okay, let me get this straight..." Akemi sighed out, sat on the edge of the bed with her leg over the other rather elegantly.

"While you were having sex, she said she was going into a coma then she passed out?" She summarised, raising her head and looking back at Dick who stood awkwardly infront of her.

He looked away for a moment with an embarrassed scratch of his neck.

"Uh, well- yeah." He said.

"It's a good thing you called me atleast." She said, motioning for Hilda, who also came, to begin checking up on Juri.

"Thanks for that, but you seem a little too calm about this." He said, seeing how she stared at him with a neutral expression the entire time she arrived.

Neither did she bat an eye when she saw Juri sleeping soundly in the bed. A new spare of sheets now exchanged from the sweat and fluid filled ones from the other day.

He had cleaned Juri's unconscious body with much care, also dressing her up in her shorts and large t-shirt. He was beyond worried, feeling rather tense and fearful, but he swallowed such thoughts.

"There is nothing to be worried about, this is a normal occurence It's happened many times before." Hilda spoke, slipping on a pair of gloves, adjusting her glasses on her nose.

"This is normal? She didn't tell me about it before." He said with a tilt of his head.

"She most definantly forgot." Akemi said, whipping out her fan from the sleeve of her kimono.

Hilda gently rolled Juri over and onto her back, taking off the stethoscope around her neck, she put it at her ear then began to listen to her heart beat.

"Heart rate is normal." She informed, putting it back around her neck.

"The shot that was given to Juri, is as I said, to prevent her from falling into a deep coma. She suffered greatly to a poison 5 years ago, so much so that it could've killed her." Akemi explained, half her face covered with her fan.

"It made her body, extremely weak, even though she has recovered, the side affects are still well and alive. Her heightened sensitivity being one." She said.

"You said that the shot was to prevent her from entering a coma." Dick said, his brows scrunched in utter confusion.

"Yes. She was going to be entering a coma regardless, her body is still, as of today, weak." Akemi explained, gesturing to Juri.

"The only reason why she loses consciousness is because her body has a limit to how much it can be pushed. She's literally like a battery."

"It's why she sleeps more than average, just a normal days work wears her out."

His face lit up in realisation, everything crawling right into place, it all made sense now.

"So then, that time after the mission, when she passed out." He muttered.

"Yes, she had done a lot and reached her limit, putting her into the temporary coma." Akemi confirmed.

"She sleeps for 3 days straight, completely unresponsive to touch and sound. This happens because her body needs to heal without any interruptions."

"If Hilda and her researchers hadn't found a way to help her weak being, then her 'cool down' time would've been much longer than 3 days."

"Before any of this was figured out, she must've been falling asleep much faster, right?" Dick pointed out.

"Correct. When her training had begun, she could only last around 35 minutes before she would sleep for 3 days. It was a hassle, but by building up her tolerance, stamina and the others, she was able to put up for much longer." Akemi nodded in response.
