[ She begins to tremble. Tears begin to fall, half from Niko and half from Rei. ]
[ In the memory, back when this happened, Niko cried for the rest of the night. They had to shave off her hair, the only thing that she was proud to have, for surgery. That wasn't even a guarantee that the operation would go well or if it'd work, but the doctor said that he was the best so what little choice did she have? She wanted so desperately to leave that she'd even take any chances, but she still had the right to mourn over her hair. The nurses thought saving a bit of it would cheer her up so she could have hope that she can grow it out again after the surgery and that it'd be just as long and beautiful as it was before but it only reminded her of another thing that she lost in her life. In the end, she was never able to throw it away and kept it until she died a few days later. She cried profusely. ]
[ But Rei isn't crying for those exact same reasons right now. It hurts, of course, to relive one of her lowest moments and go through those ugly feelings once again, but it hurts so much more that she's forced to take out her old anger on Toki. He hasn't done anything wrong. He's just an innocent bystander, just like how she was when she had to go through his memories. She wishes that she could stop, but she can't, not even when he's trying so hard. Rather than being able to take his hand, she slaps it away instead. ]
I said get out! Leave me alone!
[ The woman, one of the nurses, steps in and places a hand on Toki's arm. She whispers. ]
"Let's go."
[ Toki won't be able to stay. He'll find himself being forced to leave, gently pulled away from the bed. ]
