"Do you think it's still possible for him to wake up, Sensei?" Nurse Kiritani murmured. "It's been what, five, six years, right?"

Sho straightened from where he was previously checking the patient's pulse, amazed yet again with how steady his heartbeat was. How peaceful he looked while he lay there on the hospital bed, his skin pale against the pristine sheet.

Sho had been this patient's attending physician since he'd been transferred here from a hospital in Chiba, and the length of time Sho had spent around this patient despite his condition, made it easier for Sho to develop an emotional attachment towards this patient without Sho even realizing it.

Other doctors did gave their predictions regarding this patient's prognosis - the medical examination results showed three broken ribs and fractured skull, not to mention the fact that his heart did stop beating for a few minutes -  and all of them said the same thing; this patient would not to make it.

But he did.

Sho wouldn't have believed it himself if he wasn't there when this guy was wheeled in, bloodied and barely breathing. He'd actually been declared dead by the emergency dispatch team that took him, but his heart had miraculously started beating again, though just barely, before they reached the nearest hospital.

To be honest, Sho himself had doubted the possibility that this man would still wake up and recover. After all, there were no physical signs that he was going to, given the fact that he was still in a coma, six years after the accident. But his family, particularly his mother, had refused to give up the fight, saying that she wouldn't ever do so when it was clear that her son was doing the same.

He turned and gave the nurse a mildly reproachful glare as he shook his head.

"Watch out what you say around our patients, Kiritani-san," he grumbled, gesturing for Kiritani to hand over the medical chart they have of this patient. He'd been noting the same thing for years, for months on end, except for the notably slight changes in the patient's body temperature these past few weeks.

"As I'm always saying, outside stimulant is one of the best known treatment to comatose patients. Talking to them as much as we could helps greatly and -" he said, stopping when Kiritani cut him off with a hand clutching at his forearm.

"O-Oh my God, S-Sensei, look!" she exclaimed, wide-eyed, and pointed.

Sho turned and felt his jaw drop.

"Oh my god!"
