Karma was released from the hospital after a week under supervision.

Dr. Horibe prescribed a cocktail of medication for his recovery. Gakushū requested a week off from work to help the recovering cyborg.

 Gakushū unlocked the door to their apartment. He pushed Karma into the empty apartment. Karma was in a wheelchair.

The apartment was covered in clothes and papers and take-outs

 "I'm so sorry Karma. I was so focused on you that I forgot to tidy the place up" Gakushū apologized.

 "It's okay Shū" Karma smiled. Then, he touched his stomach. "Strange...I feel, hungry"

"But, I thought robots didn’t need food or water?" Gakushū said, visibly confused.

 Karma hummed. "I guess this is because I have a human brain now, I need glucose and water. The doctors and scientists installed an artificial digestive system for my brain" he explained. "This means, I'm free to eat food and drink water like a normal person!" He excitedly exclaimed.

 Gakushū smiled softly and kissed his hand. "So, what do you want for your first meal as a cyborg?"

 "I want to try everything! Firstly, I want to eat something spicy, and drink something sweet afterwards" Karma's excitement was so infectious Gakushū found himself feeling excited as well.

 "I'll make you something for your first meal"  Gakushū pushed his sleeves up and went into the kitchen.  

 After half an hour had passed, Karma checked on the tall man. Gakushū was at the stove. He had different plates cluttering the counter-top. All the food looked burnt or inedible.  

Karma made a face. "Looks....tasty" he says.

"Let's just order out" Gakushū turned off the stove.

"Great idea" Karma beamed. "You're a terrible cook"

"The kitchen is your domain anyway, not mine" Gakushū chuckled. Karma held out his hand for Gakushū to take, which he gladly did. "Don't worry, once I'm fully recovered, I'll cook us a feast" the red head promised.

They ended up ordering pizza and ramen, and drank sodas to keep Karma happy.

"How is it?" Gakushū asks.

"It tastes delicious" Karma beamed. "I have memories of eating food now but...it's so weird, like I'm viewing it from a different perspective"

The cyborg suddenly frowned. "Shū....I miss my friends, I miss my fam--well actually my human side's friends, I don't really care about my family much since they never cared about me either" tears suddenly gathered in the corners of his eyes.

"They probably think I'm dead....they probably blame themselves for not being able to save me, oh God, the last time they saw me was when I was laughing like a maniac while falling from a cliff" he sobbed in his hands

"Their names are Maehara Hiroto and Nakamura Rio...they...they were always trying to save me from myself, they were always there to stop me from successfully killing myself. I always made them cry because they don't know what else they can do for me..." he cried. "It's a miracle that they didn't get fed up with me"

"I still remember the looks on their faces as I fell down..how can I forget that?.... Gakushū, they looked so terrified, Hiroto was screaming and Rio was crying, they had their arms outstretched to me...they tried to reach my hand but they missed, and Rio screamed my name one last time, and then, everything went black"

Gakushū pulled the red head into his arms. "Shhh...it's okay" he assured. "I'll make this right for you"
