Walking on the way to the parking lot, Shiraishi finally couldn't hold back his doubts, "Miss Mai, what happened just now..." Mai didn't avoid it, and answered directly and affirmatively: "Maybe I can't make a sound." This sentence was short but heavy, and it hit Shiraishi's heart.

Mai immediately stopped and decided to contact Kazuka through messages immediately to find out the specific situation of Uzuki.

Shiraishi stood beside her, feeling mixed emotions. For Uzuki, voice is her soul and her weapon, but now she has suddenly lost this power. What does it mean? Shiraishi knew that this was not only a physical challenge, but also a huge test for Uzuki's mind.

After about an hour of anxious waiting, Mai's mobile phone screen finally lit up, and Kazuka's short and direct message came into view-"I'm in the hospital now." This sentence was like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, stirring up layers of ripples. Mai quickly replied and asked about the specific location. It was a general hospital near Odaiba, and then she and Shiraishi drove there.

It was late at night. When their car slowly drove into the empty parking lot of the hospital, time had quietly slipped past the boundary of 8:30 in the evening. Mai pulled the handbrake steadily, and the two of them unbuckled their seat belts and pushed open the door. A cool breath different from the outside world hit them. The hospital building looked particularly solemn in the night. Only the red light of the emergency room was flickering silently, as if it was the guardian of the city in the middle of the night.

"Can I go in from that entrance?" Mai asked, pointing to a back door with a faint light not far away. They knew that the official registration and consultation time had long ended, but this door seemed to be open for emergencies. With a little trepidation, the two decided to go there.

Just then, two figures slowly walked in from not far away, breaking the tranquility of the night. The one walking in front was Mao Yue, who was wearing a long down jacket. Under the jacket, she still maintained her stage outfit. Although the makeup on her face was a little tired, it could not hide the tenacity of an idol. Next to her was Uzuki's mother, whom Shiraishi had only met once. This young mother looked more energetic than her actual age, and standing with her daughter, there was no sense of disobedience.

"Shiraishi, long time no see." Uzuki's mother was the first to break the silence. Her smile was warm and kind, and she also smiled the same way to Mai. Shiraishi and Mai nodded briefly in response, and then their eyes turned to Uzuki at the same time.

"Yueyue, are you okay?" Shiraishi's voice was full of concern. However, Uzuki just raised a bitter smile with the corner of her mouth, as if she wanted to say something, but finally chose to remain silent. At this moment, the air was filled with an indescribable heaviness.

"I'm sorry, Uzuki can't make a sound now." Uzuki's mother explained on her behalf, her tone full of helplessness and heartache. This sentence was like a huge rock, pressing on the hearts of Shiraishi and Mai, leaving them speechless for a moment.

Mai's guess was confirmed. The cases she mentioned in the car before were now verified in Maoyue. Excessive pressure, workThe weight of work, these invisible burdens eventually crushed Uzuki's throat, causing her to lose her voice when she needed to speak the most. Shiraishi knew that all this was not accidental, but the result of long-term accumulation. He remembered Yukino's experience of amnesia due to dissociative disorder, and understood more deeply the complex and subtle connection between the mind and the body.

"Anyway, the doctor told her to rest well now. After all, she is really too busy recently." Uzuki's mother added half-jokingly, trying to ease the heaviness with a relaxed tone. However, Shiraishi looked at Uzuki in front of him, and the eyes flashing with complex emotions made him unable to ignore the pain and struggle.

"Kazuka and the others are still in there discussing tomorrow's activities with the agent." Uzuki's mother continued, reminding them that even at this moment, the journey of the sweet bullet has not stopped.

Finally, Uzuki's mother took out the car keys from her pocket and unlocked the van parked not far away. Shiraishi watched Uzuki slowly walk to the passenger seat, with mixed feelings in his heart. Mao Yue waved to him gently, bowed deeply to Mai, and then got into the car. As the car door slowly closed, Mao Yue's mother confirmed that she had fastened her seat belt, waved goodbye to Shiraishi and Mai, and drove away from the quiet hospital parking lot.

Looking at the car gradually moving away, Shiraishi took a deep breath and tried to calm the waves in his heart.

In the dark corridor of the hospital where the lights were only half lit, the air was filled with a quiet and depressing atmosphere, as if even time had slowed down. The footsteps of Shiraishi and Mai echoed in this empty corridor, which seemed particularly clear, and every step was stepped on the sensitive point in their hearts.

They walked slowly forward until a soft light came out from the corner in front, breaking the long silence around them. .
