He smacked Kai's forehead.
Thonk.
"...Ow!"
"Good."
"Your brain still works."
Kai rubbed his forehead.
"I almost died."
"You did."
"...What?"
Dr. Z flipped through several pages.
"You technically died."
"Four times."
Kai blinked.
"...Four?"
"The heart stopped."
"We restarted it."
"The heart stopped again."
"We restarted it."
"The third time was annoying."
"The fourth time was expected."
Kai slowly lowered his hand.
"...Expected?"
Dr. Z nodded casually.
"Happens."
"It does not happen!"
"It happened."
"..."
Kai couldn't even argue with that.
The doctor eventually finished checking him.
Then folded his arms.
"...Interesting."
"What?"
"The Circuits accepted you."
Kai waited.
"...That's it?"
"...That's it."
Kai frowned.
"I thought there'd be more."
"There will be."
Dr. Z suddenly grinned.
"The fun starts after this."
Kai immediately disliked that sentence.
"What does that mean?"
"It means..."
The doctor leaned closer.
"We have no idea what happens next."
"..."
"..."
Kai slowly looked away.
"I should've expected that."
