After a little while, Rene poked his head in.

"Yo." he said.

"The guy's been officially taken in." he told her.

"Odds are his reputation is ruined, as far as the University goes." he said further.

"But we won't know for sure until later in the future, sadly." he then lamented with a sigh.

"Just thought you should know." he added.

Rene looked at the stirring man, and narrowed his eyes.

"....indeed." he commented.

He then made his way towards him, squatted down, and in the blink of an eye, delivered a swift chop to the base of the man's neck, with more force and precision than expected of a medical professional. At least, one that looked as thin and tall as Rene.

He then picked the man up by the collar, and started to drag him out of the room.

"Someone will probably be in shortly to question you." he told her as he left.

"It's not." Rene responded.

"....so help me, it's not." he reiterated.

"Seems you've gotten to know a lot of the staff here." he then commented. "You're a bit of a favourite patient here." he chuckled.

"Anyway, I'll get the cops here." he told her.

"And get this mess cleaned up." he added.

Rene paused for a moment when Kalin asked her question.

"Eh-heh." he chuckled.

"It is." he told her.

"But I came in to... well... uh... just wanted to see some people here." he said.

"...." he was then silent, and sighed.

"I wanted to speak to one of the nurses here." he admitted.

"Non-work related."

At the end, Rene looked at the man on the floor.

"...mmhmm." he mumbled.

"Guess it seems to me that HE should be the one to disappear." he growled.

"Also, this proves that people just won't leave you alone." he then sighed.

Kalin could see that Rene was wrestling with himself over something, before he hung his head.

"Camera will have caught everything." he mumbled to himself.

"Guess I should call the cops." he then said.

Rene made his way over towards them, and easily lifted the man off of her, throwing him effortless off to the side.

"Damn it all." he cursed, growling slightly. As he did so, Kalin saw him gnash his teeth a little... and swore, in the split-second his teeth were bared, she saw rows of razor-sharp teeth.

However, his mouth soon left her field of vision, as he made she sure was okay, setting up her IV properly and such.

"Are you all right?" he asked.

"Mind telling me what, exactly, happened?"

About 45 seconds later, Rene himself came into the room...

...and froze when they saw the scene before him.

"...what the hell?" he muttered, taking in everything.

"What the HELL!?" he repeated, but in more of an exclamation now.

"What happened here!?"

Just then, she felt the man grab her wrist again... but his grip wasn't nearly as tight as before.

"Nngh." he groaned.

"No..." he said.

"I... will..." he mumbled. "I.. I will... get rid... of..." he murmured further, though his concentration was clearly getting worse and worse.

"Uuuuugh..." he then groaned, before he collapsed... on top of her... right on her legs.

"GAH!" the man yelled, as the needle was jammed into his wrist. He then grabbed the tube and ripped it out, but seeing as Kalin had undone the clasp, it was a bit late.

As the medication leaked onto the floor, he growled at her, before getting in close.

"Why you..." he growled, as he tried to force the liquid close to her mouth.

"Just disappear already!" he exclaimed.

"Just... just... why won't..." he then mumbled, his speech starting to be noticeably slurred now.

Sure enough, as soon as she reached for the button, she felt his hand on her wrist, his grip so tight, it was painful.

"See, that's where things will be different." he told her.

"I know how to get rid of you, and make it seem like I was never involved." he said further.

He then dug into his pocket, and produced a small glass container, with a greyish liquid in it.

"It'll be just like you had a mysterious heart attack."

The one she was talking to just smirked.

"Oh, I'm not saying they don't." they replied.

"They weren't able to finish the job, so they deserve what's coming to them." they told her.

"However, it seems that YOU cannot take a hint." they went on.

"That's why I'M here."

Rene nodded in response, and left the room to let her think. As he walked down the hallway, he thought further to himself, mostly thinking about the future.

"Hmmm." he mumbled.

"Might need to try and think of other options for her." he told himself.

"It'd be good for her to have more options." he reasoned... even though his mind was a blank.

Kalin needed a safe and secure place for her studies... and he couldn't think of many places that she could do that, not with the dorm being the exact opposite of that for her.

"I know." Rene responded.

"But I'm just saying that the option is on the table for you." he told her.

"I want you to know that you DO have some choices in this manner." he went on.

"However desirable they may or may not be is entirely up to you." he continued.

"At any rate, now that that is out of the way, I will take my leave." he told her.

"Let you work, and ponder the offer I've given."

"Oh, a while still." Rene responded.

"Odds are at least another couple of weeks before they'll consider you in good enough shape to release." he said.

"Of course, it might be a little longer or shorter, depending on your recovery, but 2 weeks is a safe estimate." he went on.

"And I know it's sudden and a heavy thing to just hear." he then said further.

"Truth be told, I'm surprised I'm offering, as I normally don't get THIS involved in my patient's lives." he admitted.

"But... what can I say? Life's trying to beat you down, you're trying your hardest to succeed and rise above it, and I want to make sure you do that, no matter what."
