After receiving the news that the latest victims were beginning to awaken, Ramza reported to the hospital. He decided to start by talking to Rukia, since she was the victim he knew best.

He was pretty certain he recalled that Rukia loved plush animals, so he stopped at the gift shop on the way in and bought one of the get well animals. The 'bear' seemed too threatening, the dog wore an atrocious hat, so he selected the rabbit holding a 'Some Bunny Wants Me to Feel Better!' sign. He tied a red ribbon around the neck, hoping the charm would keep his friend safe from further harm.

When he reached her room, he knocked. "Rukia, may I speak with you?"
