Lessons To Be Learned [Ren's dead Riders]

[Sanyu Miyazaki]

It had been several days since Sanyu was brought to the hospital, and he still hadn't woken up. So what was going on in his unconscious state...?

---

Sanyu was standing in a blank white void, unsure of where he was. "Hello??" He called out. No response. "...great. I bet you anything I'm dead," he mused, recalling his fight. "Not the best way to go out..."

[Whip Nagara]

"You aren't dead," Whip's voice said, the man appearing before Sanyu, "You are very much alive. I, on the other hand, am dead."

[Sanyu Miyazaki]

"Eh? Just who are you?" Sanyu asked, a little apprehensive.

[Whip Nagara]

"Nagara, Whip," he said, "Kamen Rider Raiga. I gave my life as a Rider...and now, I'm here to give you advice. I'm a psychic, so I can cross through death...a bit. I can feel that you need some help, counseling, perhaps. You've lost power; you need it back."

He wasn't referring to the Grand Power. That wasn't vital; but his Super Mode may be. To Sanyu himself, anyway.

[Sanyu Miyazaki]

"You mean my Super Samurai Mode?" he asked.

[Whip Nagara]

"Yes," Whip said.

[Sanyu Miyazaki]

"Then what do I need to do?" he asked Whip, walking toward him. However, he stopped as a pain seared through where he was cut.

[Whip Nagara]

"From what I can feel...you need to move past your pain of loss. Your pain of losing Airi," he said.

Right?

[Sanyu Miyazaki]

"How do you know about... Wait. Psychic," he said. "And how am I supposed to that when she appeared back into my life?"

[Whip Nagara]

"You have to be able to accept that she's safe and with good people right now," Whip told him, "She may come back, she may die in battle. She's part of a larger conflict right now. You have to accept this, until she can return."

[Sanyu Miyazaki]

"I know, but.... I don't want to lose her again...."

[Whip Nagara]

"She's with good people. They'll do their best to keep her safe," Whip said to him.

[Sanyu Miyazaki]

Sanyu looked at him. After a moment, he nodded. "Okay...."

[Whip Nagara]

"I have a message from someone who she looked up to, who saved her multiple times," he told Sanyu, "He says that the others will do their best to keep her safe, especially the man who has now taken it upon himself to protect her, Kirihiko Sudo, Kamen Rider Nazca. The message is from Jerome Endon; Kamen Rider 2."

[Sanyu Miyazaki]

"Jerome...?" Sanyu asked. He then remembered that he talked to him as the Green Samurai Ranger so he and GekiWhite (who he didn't know was Airi at the time) could go on that mission. "...does he have anything to say to her?" he asked after a bit.
