[ It's a harsh rejection, but an expected one. Komaeda couldn't conceptualize the idea of being loved, but nor could he imagine loving anyone. His circumstances brought him misfortune, and there was no one in this world who would try to understand him. All this on top of his disease and bad luck, such factors that made it difficult for him to even hang onto a doctor. It's the opposite for Hiyori, who was always blessed with good fortune in every aspect of his life, and for whom things always seemed to somehow end with some benefit or another to him.
That seems to be the case here as well. Komaeda shoves him roughly toward the street. It hurts, and it hurts more the second time he's moving in some odd direction or another, and even this doesn't do much. He stumbles forward and wobbles backwards and winds up at least landing on his ass this time. Around the same time as he's stumbling about, an approaching car rightfully attempts to go past the traffic light only to swerve to avoid hitting a person, just in time to get t-boned by oncoming traffic, followed by a rear end job because some asshole was tailgating, and in the end Hiyori doesn't wind up with any particularly strong risk of electrocution despite the live wire that falls, hopefully hitting some other unsuspecting person that does not have any Ultimate title to add to the chaos and keep the attention squarely off the people of real importance here.
It's a noisy affair, with wires falling and the impact of metal on metal followed by tires skidding as others hit on their breaks and honking horns and concerned bystanders and me thinking about how I've seen this kind of stupid scenario before. There is now an accident right in an intersection, and some good fortune allows him to recover quickly enough to force himself up and get out of the way before anyone can recover from the shock well enough to pay mind to the person who was suddenly in the middle of the street. That hurts even moreso, and he seems to have lost his companion, but he thinks that Komaeda will either trail along.
That said while Hiyori is too dazed and out of it to react properly, and even if he did he was neither dead nor going to be bothered by the police due to his status, the mixture of pushing and falling and quick movements that his body isn't prepared for is enough that he's all the same left shaking and gasping for air, breaking out in a cold sweat as he leans against a building because even a nat 12 can't save a person from agitating an injury, especially one which had just been patched back up. His vision may or may not be blurring now. It's fine though, he just might need to find a place to sit down for a minute. ]
