ryo still wasn’t quite used to this. being...alive. he thought he had died--no, he had died, but came back...somehow. he didn’t understand how such a thing happened. though when he thought about it, his death was strange as well. he died because of his cyberdark deck... it seemed unbelievable, illogical even. so perhaps him coming back wasn’t so unthinkable when comparing the two. on top of that, many other people who were presumed to be dead also came back.
it had only been a few days since he had woken up. the doctor, along with nurse ayakawa, had been helping him. he couldn’t go anywhere without a wheelchair. he wondered if he would always be like this. he felt restless. he didn’t like staying here. it was restricting. he wished he got more visitors, but most people seemed to be busy studying for exams.
he eyed his phone on the side table, grabbing it and thumbing through his contacts before pausing on a name. edo phoenix. he was alive too. fubuki and asuka told him that. he never asked, but they probably knew he was wondering about such things. they hadn’t spoken since returning to their world. ryo had watched a match of his while cooped up in his bed. he was glad to see edo was doing well.
he wanted to talk to him again. he missed him. it felt...weird to not have him here. he must have gotten too used to edo’s presence when they were in the dimension world together. ryo found it harder to sleep now, though he felt embarrassed to admit such a thing. before he changed his mind, he pressed the call button and brought the phone to his ear. he wasn’t sure what he was going to say, but he wanted to hear edo’s voice.
