I feel I should give an update at least...

Setsuo seems to be... In and out of consciousness, so far. He hasn't really been coherent though, which is the problem. The doctor says that he doesn't seem to have anything wrong that they can find or begin treating, but he seems very weakened.

Thankfully at least, the injuries he sustained so far are healing, but... that's about it.

... Stupid question, was his Deck with him when he was found?

Re: [Private to Shikou]

[observershikou]

Ah... yes, it was. Why?

Re: [Private to Shikou]

[the8thmonarch]

Did he happen to have a Number among those cards?

Re: [Private to Shikou]

[observershikou]

... Huh? Not that I know of... It isn't something that would've been mentioned, so...

Re: [Private to Shikou]

[the8thmonarch]

Not too sure on the matter, but something suddenly stinks.

And I'm gonna be going hunting. You're welcome to join.

Re: [Private to Shikou]

[observershikou]

... I'll consider it.

An update on my end:
We've had some developments on discovering who may of attacked him and what may of happened.

[observershikou]

... Really?

Private to Shikou

[i_like_red]

There was an incident on the island recently where a 'Numbers Hunter' attacked some students, two of which are now in a comatose state similar to how Setsuo has been. We found that they have had a large amount of life energy drained from them.
One of the students that escaped was able to put a positive ID on this 'Numbers Hunter'.

It was Alexandra Grant.

Right now we're trying to chase up people who are close to her to get more information on what's going on but... Setsuo's situation and the situation of the students is similar enough to assume she was the one who attacked Setsuo too.

Re: Private to Shikou

[observershikou]

W-wha... Alexandra did it?

I... I know you have no reason to lie, especially with something as serious as this, but... I definitely did not expect to hear this...

Re: Private to Shikou

[i_like_red]

Neither did I, believe me.

Right now, we believe that she may not be doing this of her own free will. It's not like her and the student who identified her said that something felt different about her.
But for now, we won't know anything more until we talk to those she's closest too and until we get statements from those involved so far.
I don't expect to really be getting much out of Setsuo or the two affected students for a while yet though.

But, I'm glad to hear that Setsuo has at least started to regain conciousness.

Re: Private to Shikou

[observershikou]

Well... at least we now know of a cause, but... just why would anyone even decide to do this?

I'm glad he's regaining consciousness, but I have to wonder if he'll really... recover, from it.

Re: Private to Shikou

[i_like_red]

Well, I've been told those affected by this life energy drain may not make a full recovery unless that life energy is returned to them, which is why it's important for us to find Alexandra as soon as possible.

As for why... well... if Judgeman has anything to do with this, then it's because he's trying to collect up the numbers, but he's going to very extreme and very questionable methods to do so.

Re: Private to Shikou

[observershikou]

Mmn...

Judgeman, huh? Yes. This is extreme. It's extreme that people are left in such a state-- not even because of the Numbers, but because of those against the Numbers.

It makes me wonder which are exactly worse, at this point.

Re: Private to Shikou

[i_like_red]

I know what you mean.

Anyway, we're doing what we can to help Setsuo and the other's that have been affected. I'll keep you updated.

Re: Private to Shikou

[observershikou]

Thank you for all that you do, Juudai. And thank you for wanting to keep me updated on this.

I just... Really feel saddened, that Alexandra is the cause of this, in particular... I hope she can be helped, as well.

Re: Private to Shikou

[i_like_red]

I hope so to.
