“Master! You look so tired, kupo! You need to go home and rest! You spend too much time at the hospital, kupo!”
The look that Gaara gave his Moogle wasn’t unkind, but did carry a hint of impatience to it. Yes, he did remain late at the hospital on some days, even after his shift had ended. He often visited Naruto, trapped in that crystalline state all of a sudden, without any explanation. Despite knowing that physically remaining in the room would do nothing to resolve the situation, it didn’t stop him from… well, hoping. None of the trapped individuals had yet to recover or awaken. It was akin to leaving, but in a much crueler capacity.
“I know, Karura,” he replied quietly, countering the scolding tone of her voice. Though, before they headed back to the 11th district… didn’t a number of new Heroes arrive on this day, the previous month? The last two worlds he had been in, carried similar patterns as well. Gaara couldn’t help feeling curious enough to investigate. There was a chance that he might encounter someone he knew, either from his home world, or…
He walked around along the edges of the crowd, not wanting to cut through it directly. With so many individuals that he didn’t recognize, it seemed as though they were new arrivals. Gaara took refuge in an inconspicuous location and quietly observed them, while Karura excitedly flew about, trying to intentionally gather attention.
