He looked down at his food in thought, "Hmm... Y'know, I'm not really sure what it did to me. I mean, it healed the cuts you gave me, Kaneyoshi-han, and the injuries I received from the bird-thing. But at the same time, it felt like someone took a sledgehammer to my torso and then my head..." He rubbed his head instinctively, as if he could still feel the pain.

Damn! Were Allen and Rinali okay? He hadn't seen them yet...

"Hey, what happened after? I can't really remember. Did you get away okay?"
