Looking at the flat line on the monitor, Stacy unmoving in the bed like so, and the fact that Gary couldn't hear a heartbeat at all confirmed everything. Gritting his teeth, the high schooler couldn't believe it, and with the hospital workers rushing to get him out of the room, they started to pull him back.
Gary didn't resist though, he lacked the energy to do so. Despite the system telling him he had energy, he certainly didn't feel like it. The incoming security guards were able to easily pull him away, but since he didn't make a scene, they just returned the teenager back to the reception room.
It was something that they had experienced with others before and at times, Gary wasn't an exception.
There, a nurse came to ask Gary questions about the now deceased girl. Since the high schooler had brought her earlier, the hospital didn't know her name yet. There seemed to be no form of ID on her either, perhaps a condition from the Pincer gang when working in a place like that. However, seeing the state the green haired teenager was in, Kai voluntarily took over.
He subtly motioned for the rest of the group to get Gary out of the place and let him handle things. With Stacy having died due to blood loss from knife injuries, police were bound to get on this case. Whether someone from the Pincers would cover it up or not was another thing.
Marie and the others were extremely worried about Gary. He had yet to say a single word, simply following behind his friends as if he was on autopilot. All three teenagers tried to reach out to him a couple of times, but there was no response at all.
In the end, the Howlers ended up returning to the Wolf's Pool Club to discuss what to do next. However, they agreed to wait for Gary to be back to his usual self.
Sitting down in one of the sofa seats that the pool club had, his head was coming back a bit.
'When did we get back to the pool club?' He wondered as he touched his head. The high schooler was so out of it he hadn't even registered what his body had been doing. His mind wasn't even thinking straight, but now that he had some time he could think clearly.
'How could it have happened? I don't understand… the system gave me a Quest to get her to the hospital within 20 minutes. Why didn't it work?! I even made it with a few minutes to spare!!!
'Did the timer include operation time? No, that makes no sense! I brought her back and even got a reward, so then why did Stacy still die?'
In his head, Gary was angrily waiting for an answer, yet there was nothing. The system kept as eerily silent as always. Looking over the system's log, he still saw the notification congratulating him, which made him think back to the other option the Quest had given him at the time.
