"Izumi! It's so good to see you! I saw it all over the news, is your arm okay?" Kendra asked. 

"It's fine, sorry if we're coming pretty unexpectedly." Izumi said. 

"No no, you're just fine! Any reason why exactly you came on a Sunday though?" Kendra asked. 

"Can you please check and make sure her right arm is okay, Kendra!" Melissa said, grabbing Izumi's right arm. 

"Melissa, I told you it's fine. I just got a few scrapes, there's nothing to worry about." Izumi said.

"And I'm telling you that it might be malfunctioning!" Melissa said. 

"Anything bad happen to your right arm, Izumi?" Kendra asked. 

"She was saving someone earlier today and landed on her right arm when she hit the ground." Melissa said. 

"Hmm, I'll have to check and see that everything is clear. Follow me." Kendra said. 

"Hah- this isn't really necessary, Melissa." Izumi said. 

"I'm going to ignore your excuses. Your cousin will be worried if something bad happens to your right arm." Melissa said.


Izumi sat on the table and Kendra examined Izumi's fake right arm as it had nothing but scrapes from when she hit the concrete. 

"Hmm, nothing but a few scrapes are all I see, but let's see if the servers are damaged." Kendra said, grabbing a long cord and attaching it into a small plug that was on the underarm. 

"Let's see..." 

Kendra looked at the data and information and noticed there was a short circuit coming from around Izumi's wrist. 

"Hmm, says your wrist isn't receiving anything." Kendra said.

Izumi tried to lift her hand and noticed her fingers might've been working fine, but she couldn't turn her wrist. 

"Hah- okay, I didn't notice that until now." Izumi said. She turned her head to see Melissa making a 'I told you so' face. 

"You were right, Melissa, happy?" Izumi said. 

"Very, so do you think you can fix it?" Melissa asked. 

"It's not a problem, I'll just have to find where the shortage stopped in her forearm and then it should be fine. But if I can't find that, then I will have to switch prosthetics again." Kendra said. 

"Please find the shortage, Kacchan will be very mad if he sees me wearing two slings." Izumi said.

"Kacchan? Oh- you must be talking about Dynamite! I saw the news and the broadcast, you really have stepped up Izumi! Way to go!" Kendra said, giving her a thumbs up. 

"Thanks, I guess." 

"Izumi's been looking a lot happier ever since that incident! I'm sure your cousin thinks the same thing." Melissa said. 

"Yeah..." 

"Does that mean you don't speak to Shinso anymore?" Kendra asked. 

"Huh, you know Shinso, Kendra?" Melissa asked. 

"Yeah, I met him back in America before I transferred here. Shinso and Izumi dated for a pretty long time. Still keep in touch with him?" Kendra asked. 

"She just talked to him last week, right Izumi?" 

"That was a fake." Izumi said.

"What?"
