"Um...where is this?"
Shihe regained consciousness in a daze, but his eyelids felt heavy and he couldn't move his body. He didn't know what happened to him.
And my memory is very vague, and I always feel like I have forgotten something important.
By the way, Li Boyong!
At the end of the Battle of Yajin, he and Li Boyong encountered the predicament of drifting without help in the universe.
It seemed like that guy made an outrageous joke at the end, and then... what happened next?
And...where am I?
As his consciousness gradually became clearer, Shihe tried to open his eyes. Although he failed, his ears began to hear sounds.
Didi, didi, didi...
It sounds like the heartbeat monitor in the hospital!
Shihe continued to work hard, and she felt as if she was gradually regaining control of her body.
"Doctor! Doctor! My daughter's eyes just moved!"
Suddenly, she heard a familiar voice, that was her mother's voice. The hoarse voice full of exhaustion seemed to contain infinite hope at the moment.
"Doctor, please come quickly!"
The mother's voice continued, followed by the sound of hurried footsteps and the sound of the electronic door opening and closing.
"Doctor, Shi and her, I just saw her eyelids move!"
"Okay, ma'am, please be patient. I'll do a checkup first."
Then Shihe felt someone coming to her bedside. It was at this time that she finally gained some control over her body. She opened her eyes, looked at her mother whom she hadn't seen for a long time and made two muffled sounds.
Originally, she wanted to call her mother, but it seemed that her physical condition was getting worse, so it turned into a cry of unknown meaning.
"Shihe, my Shihe is really awake!"
Shihe's mother could still control her emotions. She rushed to the bed and stroked her daughter's face with her hands.
The doctor who was pushed aside didn't care. He just smiled sincerely when he saw this. The fact that the patient could still wake up under such circumstances can be said to be a medical opportunity and worthy of this mother's happiness.
With a smile on his face and a slight shake of his head, he wisely came to the other side of the hospital bed and tried his best to do some basic checks.

One week later, PLANT, February City, Colonial Satellite National Hospital No. 3.
Shihe was staggering through rehabilitation exercises accompanied by his mother. Holding on to the parallel bars, Shihe was struggling to walk.
Occasionally looking at the wrinkles on the forehead of the mother next to her, Shihe was filled with emotion. She remembered that her mother did not have these wrinkles on her forehead before.
"Shihe, don't be anxious. Although our adjusters' physiques are far stronger than those of natural people, you have been in a coma for almost two years. We should just follow the doctor's instructions and take it slow," her mother persuaded with a smile.
Shihe stubbornly shook his head, indicating that he was fine.
According to his mother, Shihe knew that he seemed to have unfortunately lost his body in the decisive battle of Yajin, and then continued to drift in the universe for a period of time.
Due to the chaos on the battlefield at that time, by the time the rescue team found him, he had already fallen into a state of hypoxia for a long time.
Although he was eventually saved, his brain was damaged due to lack of oxygen and he became a vegetative state.
For the next two years, I stayed in this hospital, and my mother took good care of me until I woke up again.
Thinking of this, Shihe couldn't help but think of the name that lingered in his heart again.
Li Boyong...
The joint sergeant who fell to the island with him, spent a terrifying night of life and death together, and met again on the streets of Orb.
The Union sergeant who was so bold that he secretly held his hand on the streets of Orb and was almost killed by him in the ensuing battle.
The joint sergeant who confirmed their feelings for each other during the decisive battle of Yakin and made a promise to be together after the war.
But when I woke up, he was no longer around...
I remember that I was killed with him at the time, but Shihe doesn’t remember much about what happened after the death...
Every time I want to think about it, I just can't remember it. I feel like I've forgotten something important...
When she told the doctor about her memory loss, the doctor said that this was a normal phenomenon. After all, it was a miracle that she could wake up again after suffering brain damage.
Shihe once wanted to ask for information about Li Boyong, but due to the special circumstances of Li Boyong's status as a joint sergeant, he gave up the plan to inquire in a big way.
That's why she was anxious to regain her body's mobility as soon as possible and then go find out for herself.
Another week passed, and Shihe used this week to miraculously regain his basic ability to move.
In this way, with her mother's persuasion and the doctor's exclamation, Shihe stubbornly went through the discharge procedures and returned to her home on the colonial satellite No. 6 in August City with her mother.
The next day, Shihe found the red military uniform that had been gathering dust for more than a year from the closet, put it on, and went to the ZAFT Army headquarters in December City alone to understand the current situation.
It is now more than a year after the war, and she has been unconscious in the hospital bed for more than a year, but her military status has not been cancelled.
Officially, therefore, the military bears most of the treatment costs, so as not to place too much burden on ordinary families.
Standing at the door of the ZAFT Army headquarters, Shihe, who always prided himself on being calm, could not help but show a nervous expression.
I heard from my mother that a lot of things seemed to have happened within the ZAFT Army in the past year or so, but since my mother was not an insider of the army, she only knew a little about it.
So Shi He was a little unsure about the ZAFT army's attitude towards him now.
But no matter what, at least there should be an end.
Whether you are dismissed from the army or return to the army, there must be an explanation.
It would be best if he could return to the army. Then it might be easier to contact some of his former colleagues and ask them for help about Li Boyong.
If not, things might become much more difficult, but she has no intention of giving up.
Taking a deep breath, Shihe once again confirmed that there was nothing wrong with his attire, and then entered the national defense headquarters.
People were coming and going in the lobby on the first floor of the National Defense Headquarters, and some of the layouts were slightly different from what I remembered. Poetry and He, who was not familiar with this place, felt a strange feeling of strangeness in his heart.
But no matter what, it’s always a good idea to ask the front desk in advance.
After spending some time, Shihe came to the clerk at the front desk and told the other party about his situation.
The clerk was a little confused as he listened to Shihe's narration.
After all, he had only recently been transferred to the headquarters as a front desk clerk. What should a soldier do when he wakes up from a vegetative state and returns to the army?
He has never encountered this kind of situation before and is not sure how to deal with it...
