[Someone is kind enough to let him know what happened. He's just settled back in his own bed again - bless for being released, FINALLY - when the text arrives.]
Your sister's in the hospital wing, she nearly drowned.
[He's wished for death a thousand times that week, but at that moment he realizes what it feels like to die a thousand deaths. He rockets from where he's lying and runs the entire way, heart somewhere in his throat, terrifying scenarios vividly playing in front of his mind's eye.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no NOT HER, please NOT HER.]
GOU!
[He bursts inside, expecting to find his little sister, his lifeline, his constant, pale, unconscious and barely breathing, life stolen out of her body and when he sees her awake... Well, relief doesn't even begin to describe it. That stone falling from his chest is a boulder, the size of a mountain, and he's within her side in the blink of an eye, not even caring that everyone sees the tears that had collected in his eyes in these last terrifying minutes.]
Gou, oh Merlin, Gou, bless the gods! Are you ok?! Is everything alright?!
