[ He can still feel the pain in his bandaged hand from two sources. One, an ache in his wrist from when he punched Ai's would-be killer in the jaw as hard as he could... and then another from when he got into a proper fight with the guy. He won, of course. He may not be a Servant, but he still knows how to fight better than some loser with a knife.
Unfortunately, though, he got unlucky and ended up having to catch the knife with his bare hand... which let him wrench the thing out of the killer's grasp, but in exchange for a nasty slash on his palm. His hand is still thoroughly wrapped up in a bandage after some doctors took a look at him... and it still hurts like hell, honestly.
Needless to say, Ai's dome concert was cancelled... probably not forever, but still, it's hardly the most important thing on Oberon's mind.
He did it. Twenty-four years... all for the sake of that one moment. What happens from here is a mystery... honestly it's entirely possible that she could just get into another mess and end up dead anyway. It's not like it'd surprise him if the world decided to spit in his face like that.
But he did it. He... saved her.
The question of what he does from here... remains unfortunately unanswered, though. Ever since then, he's been... listless, for the lack of a better word. Just laying around in his apartment, trying to ignore the pulsing pain in his hand.
Then, unexpectedly, he hears the buzzer... and her voice.
His reaction is... embarrassingly delayed, but the fact remains that he nearly falls off his couch in scrambling towards the answering machine. ]
Y-You...
[ There she is... right there on camera... and looking absolutely freezing what the hell? ]
W-What the hell are you doing out in the...!
[ Ugh... what the hell, how did she even get his address? Sure he was nearby, but it can't have been that easy... and why is she here? What, to thank him...?
He briefly considers the possibility... the possibility that she'd remember him, but surely if she had, she wouldn't have just let him walk away... right? ]
U-Ugh... come in, then...
[ What kind of idol shows up at a guy's home with no warning asking to be let inside...? Is she asking for a scandal?? In any case, the buzzer beeps, signaling that she's being let inside. ]
