The strange men had taken them to a hospital, or at least something that seemed like one. Michiko couldn't recognize where they were other than the fact that they were somewhere near the coast because she could see the ocean from where she was standing. Chokichi continued to whimper in pain. Each time the sound came out of his mouth it broke a little bit of Michiko's heart. Her job as his older sister was to protect him, and instead he ended up with a broken leg, which Michiko assumed happened when she tried to shield him from the grenade.
The big, burly men ushered the two of them into the dilapidated building that served as a hospital. Michiko laid her brother on one of the beds and the doctor came over. Some words were exchanged between the men and the doctor and then he walked over to Chokichi, who had a look of sheer terror in his eyes. A look that would break any sister's heart.
