It was fortunate that no one was around to witness his initial reaction.
At the facility, comatose victims were put in that state for a specific purpose: experimentation. They would disappear for at least a week, and they usually returned in a weaker position. There weren’t any of those sadistic Doctors in this world, but Gaara still felt apprehensive. He had experienced a number of his friends disappear before, as well as Sai and his siblings, at one point or several more. To have it happen to Luke here…
A small sense of relief calmed his anxiety upon catching a glimpse of Luke in the hospital. In spite of his state, at least he wasn’t kept captive to be tortured. As a matter of fact, one of the possible symptoms for contact withdrawal was a coma, wasn’t it? Well, if it was energy that he lacked, then Gaara could generate a source of it for him. Clasping a hold of his hand, he would sit in silence for hours at a time, patiently waiting and watching. Whenever Luke had other visitors, he left the room and observed the activities within, through usage of his Third Eye.
On this particular day, his head lifted when his senses detected movement. He had thought he felt a faint twitch passing over his fingers, which were firmly gripping onto Luke’s motionless digits. Or was that simply his imagination, longing for his…ally…to regain consciousness?
