Obie reached out carefully and placed her hand on the wall. Using it and her shoulder, she slowly pushed herself painfully up to her feet, the whole time her eyes solely on Izumi. There had to be something wrong with her, she decided. Even after everything he had done to her, she actually felt sorry for the boy.
"I won't let them do that Makito. You had nothing to do with this," she said softly looking briefly down at him. "You had better hurry Izumi," she said looking over at the button panel and reaching out to hold the 'close door' button down.

"...Thank you."
It was probably the nicest thing Izumi had ever said to Obsidian, and seeing as it would probably be the last thing he'd ever say to anyone before he went into decent hiding, so without any further thought he gavea sort of decent jumped and pulled himself up and through the hatch on the roof.
As his shoes disappeared from sight and scuffling could be heard as the lid was fit back over, Makito sighed loudly as the hatch cracked back into place.
"...I wonder if he hates me now."

Obie watched him and held the button down until the hatch was back in place. Aside from the pool of vomit and her current state, it was as if he had never been there. Looking over at Makito, she let the button go and dropped her eyes to the floor.
"I doubt that he does Maki-chan," she said and turned her eyes up to him. Her head spun a little as the doors slid open and she closed her eyes. Everything hurt so much. She just wanted to curl up and sleep it all away, to wake up and have it all have been a bad dream. "Will you stay with me for a bit, please?" she asked opening her eyes again.

"Of course. Would you like me to carry you out?"
Makito's face held a soft smile, but it was in his eyes that he wasn't sure Izumi didn't hate him. Of course he wouldn't say this aloud since Izumi could still hear the pair talk and he didn't want him to cry any more than he was sure the youth probably was. In fact, he knew Izumi was probably sitting in the corner crying his eyes out into his sleeves.
"Please just stick with a single story when asked, mostly how whoever did this must have gotten off a floor ahead of us and fled when I came in. We can claim the vomit is his, of course, since my diet is closely monitered here and I seriously hope you don't eat paper."
He reached over and took Obsidian's good hand into his own, using a gentle amount of strength to pull the tired girl into a safe and warming hug. It was all his fault, he knew, that this happened to her. All because he...never mind. It didn't matter anyway.
"Whatever you do now, though, don't fall asleep. You've probably suffered a concussion."

Obie smiled a little at his question and shook her head.
"No. I just might need to lean on you though," she said as she stood up a little straighter. Nodding at his instructions to keep the story simple, she reached out to meet his hand and allowed him to pull her gently to him. Closing her eyes tightly, she was suddenly seized with the urge to cry as she rested her head against his chest.
"Thank you Maki-chan," she said hoarsely as a couple of fresh tears rolled down her cheeks. "I promise, I won't. Just keep me awake," she said softly, opening her eyes and looking over to the doors of the elevator as some people started to gather.

Makito smiled sadly and took a deep breath as the doors chimed and swung open. Right away in front of him stood a police officer with his baton out and ready, but as the man saw how injured both member of the pair were he backed away and allowed the doctors and nurses to rush forward.
"What happened with this girl?!"
"Do you know who did this?!"
"Are you injured as well?!"
Makito could only answer questions as calmly as he good as Obsidian was taken out of his embrace and quickly rushed to an emergancy room, and felt his heart drop when she disappeared from sight and he didn't even get the chance to send her off with a wave.
With a final glance in the direction the injured and semi-there girl went off into, Makito turned his head and glanced back at the elevator that was now going upwards with a load that consisted of a police officer and a janitor.
"Take care Obsidian, we'll be watching over you. Together."
