"Expect the unexpected, Kasey."
[A week after the incident at P.A.S.T.]
[2008]"Raf... where are you?" Kasey asked within the crowd as she pulls out her phone and looks back at the message she received.
"Meet me at Ayala Triangle. I'll be sitting at a bench wearing a beanie."
Reading the message again, she scratches her head in confusion as she swore that she'd checked every bench around the area. Due to the stress she has back home, Kasey had the suspicion that she must have missed one on her way. Either way, she wishes to see him again as he seems to break out of the silence.
Left with no other choice, she decides to text him again in order to get back on track.
"(sigh) Where are you exactly?" Kasey says to no one as she types it out and press Send, hoping that he'd be able to see her message.
Suddenly after doing so, she hears someone calling out her name and turns around to find out who it is. As she turns to look at the bench behind her, she sees Linrov waving his left hand and continues to call out her name to get a confirmation.
"Over here, Comrade." Raf says in a mix of seriousness and joy as he touches the cast on his right arm, gently.
Seeing him being there and in this state, she softly says his name in relief and walks up to meet him, wanting to know if his friend's alright.
(Later)
Chatting and making up lost time for the past days on the week, Kasey looks at his cast and lowers her brows in concern.
"How's your arm doing?" she ask him in concern as she checks the extent of the night's damages.
"Getting healed. It's lucky that my dominant hand didn't get damaged." he tells her as he waves his left arm to show proof.
