"I dont think you should go alone. I mean, what if the bad guys are expecting us to be here. Hotaru being sick would throw them off, but going by yourself is just asking for trouble."

"You take care of her, or I'll make you and that doctor regret it." she growled.

"Either you stay, or I go with you." she said firmly.
