Because of the fire, most of Bone Corpse's body is wrapped in bandages, but because of the wound, the bandages are not thick, in order to wipe and cool down regularly. The bandages are more to prevent the burn site from touching the source of infection, leading to a secondary recurrence.
People who have experienced a fire will suffer a very strong psychological impact on their spirit, not to mention the physical and mental impact.
Putting aside the fear and anxiety of the existence of fire, the current context of Bone Eater's amnesia would make people mistake him for fragile glass that would shatter into pieces if they weren't careful.
"Ah... yes, the patient has a hard time falling asleep during this period, and is easily awakened by the slightest movement. If the doctor does not come to check on him, he will often sit by the bed and look at the sky all night." The nurse gave this answer to Bucciarati's question, and she also said, "Mr. Bucciarati, the patient's injuries have been completely controlled and have been improving recently. Although it is indeed uncomfortable when the wound is healing, all the painkillers that should be prescribed have been taken..."
The underlying meaning is a psychological problem.
The nurse likes children like Bones very much. At least he never refuses any request from the doctor, never makes a fuss, and will take the initiative to tell the doctor if there is something wrong. Although his personality is relatively cold and he rarely smiles, the nurse can feel that he is a very gentle child.
"Because, every time I push him out for a walk, he always attracts the children in the hospital next door." Even the nurse knew Bucciarati well, a well-known and kind gangster, so now the nurse couldn't help but say a few more words about his daily life. She smiled and said, "He often tells stories to those children, and he can even make those little troublemakers quiet down. He is really popular."
Bucciarati was like an ordinary patient's family member, and naturally asked, "What's the story?"
The nurse thought for a moment and said, "Actually, I haven't heard of it either. Is it about a princess who is still dazzling in the dark night?"
"Because that period was a rare time for relaxation, I didn't want the patient to feel controlled mentally because of me, which would be detrimental to the patient's treatment." The nurse apologized, "So I didn't listen carefully to what the story was about."
"No, please don't feel sorry, you've done very well." Bucciarati was about to ask himself in the mouth of the bone.
In the case of amnesia, every detail revealed is a channel to understand each other's information. Bucciarati opened the door, and the boy sitting on the bed turned around. There was no smile on his face, but it made people feel that he was in a good mood.
"Looks like you've recovered well." Bucciarati would often hold back his overly imposing manner when it came to ordinary people. Just as he was about to say something, he noticed a slight sense of disharmony under the pillow.
Kokumi was probably a very sensitive child, and he caught Bucciarati's gaze for only a moment. The silver-haired boy thought about it and did not hide it from others, because he knew that even if he did so, Bucciarati would never say anything.
On the contrary, Kokumi directly lifted the pillow, revealing the object hidden inside directly in front of Bucciarati. It was a beautiful sword, the important thing that Kokumi had been holding tightly in his hand after saving Kokumi from the flames, and it was also a very dangerous weapon.
The only difference was that this sword was not badly damaged as Bucciarati remembered. Instead, it looked like it was newly forged, extremely new and clean, without any signs of having been used.
Bucciarati did not ask how the knife got back into Kotobuki's hands. Instead, when Kotobuki put down the pillow to cover the blade once again, he silently showed his substitute and said, "The doctor said that your body has recovered well and there are no signs of recurrence. As long as the follow-up treatment is proper, you can be discharged at any time."
The blue humanoid stand stood obediently behind Bucciarati, making no sound, and Kotobuki did not react at all. He lowered his eyes quietly, as if he had not seen Bucciarati's stand, Sticky Fingers, and replied, "I understand."
Bucciarati narrowed his eyes, and began to doubt the correctness of his thought. Although there are many kinds of Stands, some are humanoid, and some are physical, Stands are just the manifestation of the spiritual power of living things, and when a Stand is injured, the original body will also be injured. However, this does not immediately prove that Kokusai is a Stand user, and this sword is his Stand.
Was he overthinking it? There was no way to know the answer immediately, so Bucciarati left it unmentioned for the time being.
Although he is a gangster who represents the evil side in the eyes of ordinary people, he is also a gentle, mature and stable person. Saving people is not just a simple rescue. For example, when he met Narancia, he said, "If you want, you can stay in my house temporarily."
Even now, when Kotobuki was not yet fully discharged from the hospital and had just woken up for a while, he told Kotobuki something like this from the beginning. However, unlike Narancia who still had a home to return to at that time, Bucciarati made it very clear that "the kid should return to his parents."
Now, Bone Ku is in a state of amnesia, and he has not found any relevant information, so he can be said to be truly homeless for the time being, and even surviving on his own is a difficult matter. "The restaurant I often go to is recently recruiting chefs, as long as they can simply get started and handle the job. If you don't mind, you can live in my house until you recover your memory. The relevant treatment expenses can be regarded as a loan from me in advance, okay?"
It can be said that Bucciarati thought of every aspect, because fire and amnesia, anyone who experiences either of these will suffer from psychological depression and despair, not to mention someone like Kotobuki who is still a child.
Although Naples is a tourist city, it is also a very chaotic place, and this is not just due to the gangs. In fact, to some extent, the gangs have suppressed and controlled this chaos.
If you let a child like this go, there will be some unforeseen consequences. In this city, suicide is not impossible, but a kind of relief.
Although Kokumi never expressed such emotions, Bucciarati would never let such a child go. He even gave this child who had lost all his memories and had no goals a short-term task to complete. Everyone knows how expensive medical expenses are in this country.
Bucciarati certainly didn't care about this little money, but what Kokumi needed to return was not a small amount. During this period of time, he could always find some clues about Kokumi's origins and contact his family. Even if he couldn't find it, he would help Kokumi find a job. If he could pay off the medical bills he owed, it would mean that Kokumi would have enough to survive on his own.
At least in front of Bucciarati, Kotobuki will never let himself degenerate like those teenagers who take drugs and commit suicide. Moreover, when Kotobuki asks to leave, Bucciarati will return the medical expenses to Kotobuki again... Hmm, is this a nesting doll?
"…Thank you very much, Mr. Bucciarati." Kotobuki didn't know if he understood Bucciarati's real intention or not. He always had a blank expression on his face, making it difficult to determine his mood and state.
I don’t know if he noticed it, so he continued, “Even if there is no memory, even if there is no yesterday, there must be a way.”
"I always feel like someone has said this to me." The silver-haired boy said, probably jokingly, "Maybe I have lost all my memories before, just like now. But this time, I forgot all my previous memories again."
"...During this time, have you thought of anything else?" Bucciarati did not respond and quietly changed the subject.
The purple eyes of Gu Ku were empty and sometimes looked like objects, giving people an inorganic feeling. In a place like a hospital, it seemed like a puppet in a horror movie. He thought about it and said uncertainly: "I don't know if it will be helpful to you..."
"Princess Kaguya, your highness is a princess who shines dazzlingly even in the dark night." Kotobuki lowered his eyes and slowly told such a story. In short, an old man picked up a child, who grew up to be an adult in three months with extraordinary beauty. Five sons of noble families proposed to her, but all of them were rejected. As a result, Princess Kaguya returned to the moon on a moonlit night.
In the story, there is also an emperor who wanted to force Kaguya to marry him, but was also rejected. Afterwards, because he fell in love with Kaguya at first sight, the emperor still exchanged poems with Kaguya from time to time, and three years passed like this.
When Kaguya returned to heaven, she gave the elixir of immortality to the emperor, but the emperor burned it.
This story is about Japanese aesthetics, which is restrained and carries a sense of regret and sadness that is hard to find in other countries. Especially when Kotobuki tells the story, it seems boring. He is not suitable to be a storyteller.
However, after saying all this, Kokumi revealed some of his own thoughts, and casually said along with the story, "If it were me, I would never give up the elixir of immortality. Immortality means there is plenty of time. One day, I will bring Kaguya back."
Bucciarati did not notice this. He was just thinking about which country and region this story came from. He planned to remember the story and ask Fugo.
The visiting hours were almost over. Just as Bucciarati turned to leave, Kotobuki sat on the bed and seemed to hesitate for a long time. He could not hold back any longer and suddenly spoke, "Mr. Bucciarati, I want to ask... Is this hospital haunted?"
As if he also thought his own words were strange, Kokuku retracted his gaze from the blue stand (Chain Fingers) and shook his head, "No, please ignore my question, I must have seen it wrong."
The author has something to say: It’s an evil spirit!
