[ Gohan knew better than to try to contact anyone, no matter what the pamphlet said. After all, the very moment he woke up in that cave, he immediately freaked out. He was in no condition to see anyone, much less talk to them. But of course, he was dead. He remembered being dead. He remembered the sensation of searing flesh, his skin practically melting like butter with every energy blast that passed through him. He remembered pain, shock, numbness...

He remembered failing.

No one could've survived that, not even him. And in those very last moments, he'd briefly accepted that. Maybe that was part of the freak out, the fact that even for a moment, he'd given up. But no matter how long he could've continued to beat himself up over it, his physical exhaustion put a stop to that. The realization then him him that he was still severely wounded, with copious amounts of blood covering his body, and the very-fatal numbness from before threatening to creep up on him. And it was at that moment that he decided, maybe he did need to contact someone...

So, with cuts and bruises covering his face, and copious amounts of blood covering practically everything else, Gohan turned on the videophone. Offering the camera a tired, but sheepish grin, before stuttering. ]

T-Think I could... get directions to a hospital...? [ He was trying to keep the situation light, as futile as that was. He really didn't want someone freaking out about him, but he also didn't want to be stubborn and pass out from blood loss. ] J-Just pointing me in a direction... should work...

I only know of the city around here. It's a weird place. It's small but also very larg. [Terra doesn't understand this place herself. She is very calm as she speaks like she is thinking out loud.]

Is there... not a wilderness past the city? [ He asked, genuinely curious. ]

Well I'm sure there must be but I haven't seen it... though I haven't really wondered far. It's been difficult for me... adjusting here.

[Terra is surprised that she is opening up to a complete stranger.]

[ Apparently, Gohan is just that easy to talk to. ]

How come?

I woke up without any memories. [There are still a lot of things she doesn't remember... like her family.]

[ ... That's not something Gohan can necessarily relate to. After all, he'd always known who he was and where he came from. However, he can certainly understand how that would make things difficult. He couldn't even imagine how he would be without any memories of his own family... ]

... At least you remember your name, right? [ He offered a smile, trying to be optimistic. ] That's a start.

Yes [Terra nods though she is still looking for his envelope.] I remember a few things now but its confusing.

Still if you need something I will try my best to lend a hand.

You've already been a great help. [ He didn't hesitate to praise her, pausing in his search to offer her a smile. ] You've healed me, and helped me find what I need. I'm pretty sure I'm the one who owes you.

[ Finally, he pulled out an envelope from the water. ] Found it!

[Terra stands and gives him a tiny smile.] That's good. [She doesn't really consider anything she has done to be particularly helpful but she is glad that he found all his things.]

Alright, I'm gonna head to the hospital now. But maybe once they let me out, we can talk again?

Yeah, be safe. [Terra quietly watches him go. She still had things to do around here.]
