Title: After
Series: Kamen Rider Gaim
Characters: Kureshima Mitsuzane
Summary: Circa ep 46. So what comes after?
----------------
To be honest, he stopped wanting to care. His tears now ran dry.
Whether to live or die or even doing anything at all. What's the point? Not like any of his action would do anyone good. Anything that he'd done so far had no worth. He'd never protected Team Gaim. That was all Kouta. Everything was all Kouta. He did not protect his brother; in fact, he was the one that hurt him the most. Protect Mai? Who was he kidding? Because of him, Sengoku Ryoma managed to kill her without much effort.
That ghost was right. Everything he touches goes to ruin. Nothing he did ever benefit anyone. He couldn't care less. Whatever happens to him now, he would not bother to care.

“Sir, I can detect another life sign towards this building.”
The Sergeant turned to the direction the soldier was pointing. “A clinic? How many of them?”
“Just one,” said the soldier as the sergeant frowned.
“Just one? A patient... a doctor? Someone left behind during the evacuation?” muttered the sergeant to himself as he ordered the team to search the clinic.

The door opened without resistance as the soldiers glanced to each other warily.
“Eyes around you. We can’t be sure that all of those monsters have really left,” said the sergeant as all of them entered the clinic, dispersing as each of the soldiers searched the corridors and floors for any signs of life.
“Sir! Over here!”
Sergeant Kamata followed the voice towards the second floor as he rushed towards what it seemed to be a medical laboratory of some sort. He saw one of his underlings looking down towards something, before hurrying to get around the divider walls. When he arrived, he saw the soldier was standing in front of a hospital bed… with a teenage boy, sitting on the floor beside it.
Kamata knelt towards the boy to check if he was still alive.
“The kid didn’t seem to respond to anything, sir. It’s like he’s not even aware of everything around him.” The soldier tried to explain to him as Kamata tried to shake the boy to get his attention.
“Boy? Can you hear me? What happened here?”
The boy did not answer, despite being conscious. Kamata noticed that the boy’s eyes had that glassy look, unfocused and soulless. But despite that he confirmed, that the boy was still very much alive and breathing. He sighed.
“Let’s get this kid out of here. Perhaps there are still things we could do to help.” said Kamata as he looked up towards the soldier. “Call out the others, we’re heading back to HQ,” he said again as Kamata gently slung the boy’s arm around his neck and carried him on his back.
The boy remained silent as if he was just a lifeless doll, being taken away from its shelf.
