[Action] [Eyes tightly shut against the glare of the orange jumpsuit, as even that was too much for him to physically manage at the moment. Zero pressed his palm against his forehead, not recalling this sort of thing ever being so painful before. Not that he had a ton of experience with it prior to this but the stabbing pain in his forehead as the memories he held from home and his prior stay in the dome meshed, molded and fit into place had apparently taxed his brain past its capacity. Nausea, dizziness and the sensation of knives melting directly into the gray matter left the hunter feeling as if he would pass out from the pain if he even dared to move from his comfortable spot on the ground.]
['The purpose of your stay is rehabilitation and we have provided you with several resources that will bring you closer to that goal. You may partake in physical activities...' Every single word from the communicator that Conscienti spoke reverberated through his head, leaving him in pain to the point that he feared he wouldn't be able to fight down the bile any longer.]
[Unable to listen to another sound from the communicator, fingers grasp the familiar metal of the communicator near his ear. With a single yank, Zero pulled it off himself out of self preservation and heard as it clattered to the ground on the cement several feet away from him. Unlike the rest of the new arrivals, this one was already well acquainted with the ins and outs of the facility and knew exactly where he was and the reasons why.]
[Inhaling deeply, Zero focused entirely on his breathing and nothing else for several long minutes. Eventually he would need to retrieve the communicator he'd discarded, but for the moment he needed to gain the energy to actually move so he could go get it. 'Inhale...exhale...inhale...' It helped, if only a little.]
[The pounding in his head lessened just slightly, but it was enough to feel safe enough to slowly open his eyes again and adjust to the world again. He instantly recognized the building he was leaning against. 'The Blood Shack'.]
[Not exactly the place a known vampire hunter should be sitting looking nice and vulnerable.]
[Moving out of sheer will alone, head pounding with each movement he made, Zero managed to retrieve the now silent communicator without getting up off the ground. Which was probably a good thing since he felt dangerously close to passing out after that.]
[Video] [Placing the unit back on his head, he waited a moment until he knew he could do this without worrying any of the people that he needed to contact or give his condition away immediately to people who might not be thrilled to see him back. With another deep breath, Zero turned on the video function. ]
Hikaru? Yuuri?...Saya?
[A confused pause settled for a moment before he continued.]
