"Sorry, did that hurt?" [Name] asked as Ray flinched.

Ray and [Name] were at the infirmary, trying to use what they have to treat the bump on Ray's cheek, while they also waited for their Mom.

Ray assured, "No, it's fine."

[Name] continued to clean his wound with ointments that slightly stung his skin.

In all honesty, [Name] thought her current circumstance was pretty awkward as she was lightly holding Ray's face, with his cheek facing towards her. As she held his face, she rubbed his wounded cheek with a cloth pad.

"Done." [Name] sighed, releasing Ray from her grasp, which she already missed, not knowing that Ray did as well. She turned to grab the bandage that she had prepared prior to adding the ointment. Her soft touch returned his face as she carefully placed the bandage on his cheek. She spread out the bandage with her hand to force out any air bubbles, oblivious about the fact that she was basically caressing his face. Ray stood frozen, not knowing how to react since she was merely treating his cheek.

"Do you need anything for... that?" Ray pointed towards a light scratch on her neck. [Name] assumed Don must have accidentally scratched her when she reached for her collar. [Name] ran her finger along the light scab.

"I think I should be just fine." [Name] chuckled. "Thanks."

Ray and [Name] stood in awkward silence staring at each other face to face occasionally staring at anything in the room. As the seconds passed by, their faces collectively got closer and closer. A sudden creak was heard from the door which released the tension. Both kids flinched backwards, immediately looking towards the door to see Isabella.

"Now, what happened here?" She asked. "Did I interrupt something?"

"No, you're fine." [Name] answered her second question.

Ray answered her first question with, "It was Norman."

"So, you and Norman got into a fight?" Isabella asked Ray as she began putting away the supplies both kids were using.

As Norman, Emma, Don, and Gilda furthered explained their plans, it was Ray and [Name]'s jobs to give Isabella false information in order to throw her off. 

"It was over something we didn't agree about." He explained.

"Now, what is it you came here to tell me?"
