Rather than a hospital bed, Shien was given some time in a counseling room. While it was a nice thought, he honestly felt fine. Sure he had a near death experience but what ninja didn't? Granted most of those epxeriences were at the hands of blades, poison, or more blades. But that was beside the point. The fact of the matter was that he was lying on his back, hands folded over his stomach, looking up at the ceiling while in one of those lengthy therapy chairs while the counselor spoke to him.

COunselor: So you had a rough time getting up here huh? And when you got through that you just trudged on, like nothing happened. What made you want to do that?

Shien: How many times have I told you? I just wanted to get to here so we could complete our job.

Counselor: But it was the first time you witnessed death on both ends. You sure that nothing has affected you at all?

Shien: I never? I've killed people already--they just weren't anywhere near me when it happened with explosives, but I have done it. Can we move on to the next question?

Counselor: Some people might not be so ready to jump back into action after that, and you are, you don't feel any kind of regrets at all?

Shien: Okay I'm done with this. I only regret that I wasn't aware enough. Just like I told my teammate and like I told you three times in the past fifteen minutes. I'm leaving.

Shien had gotten up and made to move from the room, the counselor tried to get his attention one last time for another question, but was met with the door slamming and Shien moving through the hallways. Yes he had sme big regrets about that experience but they were problems he wanted to deal with on his own and with certain people. People he had not shown the proper appreciation to yet.

As he was turning the corner, he bumped into just one person that he was looking to talk to, Kideme. "Oh--Kideme! You made it!" He would run over to her and give her a tight hug, he was glad to see her. Like, a type of glad that you have when you see someone you thought was dead but meet them up five years later when it is revealed they were alive this whole time. Or like when Shinra had seen Ranta's ghost. When he let go of the hug, he looked at her and then away for a moment. "Uh--hi, I'm just--I was a bit overwhelmed and...How are you holding up? I escaped from an annoying and pointless counseling session that they seem to think that I need."
