Aster had gone back to Florida to visit family, having not seen everyone in a very long time. Wilbur missed her but the two talked over call before Wilbur went to bed or before Aster did. If they couldn't call they would text.

It was a dreary Friday afternoon when Wilbur received a call from Emiko in the middle of his stream. Confused he picked up. "Emiko! You aren't on speaker but you're on stream." He informed her.

"Wilbur, Aster's in the hospital."

"What."

"She was at our little cousin's school and- and-" Emiko started crying and Wilbur swiftly ended stream without another word, moving to Google and searching for plane tickets to Orlando.

"Emiko take it slow, talk me through it." Wilbur tried to stay calm for Emiko, though he was sure his voice was shaking and he was near tears from sheer fear.

"Our little cousin Marie, wanted Aster to come into her class to take your parent to school day because they were looking at jobs and Marie thinks what Aster does is so cool." The teen sniffled, presumably attempting to dry her tears. "Aster was on her way to my cousins class when a man armed with a switchblade and a gun-" Emiko took in a shuddering breath, "He entered the school, looking for someone and demanded Aster tells him where someone was, I don't know who they won't tell me, and Aster refused to tell him so he shot her in the stomach, then stabbed her leg-" Emiko broke down in tears again and someone took the phone from her.

"Hello? Is this William?" A female voice, similarly heavy from tears, asked.

"It is."

"Hello, I'm Aster's mother, I'm sorry to meet you under these circumstances."

"Not exactly ideal is it?" Wilbur mumbled as he booked a plane ticket.

"No." The woman sighed. "As Emiko was trying to explain, Aster was shot and stabbed while stalling the man while the cops were coming. We haven't heard anything other than she's in an operation room being treated. We don't know her survival rate yet. We should be getting something more soon."

Wilbur nodded. "That's good." His voice wavered, "I'm going to fly down to Florida if that's alright with you and your family?"

"Of course hon, if Emiko's first instinct was to call you after we got to the hospital then you must mean a lot to my daughters." There was a slight pause. "If it's not too much to ask, do you know anyone that can help Emiko right now?" The woman's voice was quieter now. "I haven't seen her cry this much since the incident with Elijah and Alice."

Wilbur had heard about that incident from Aster and Emiko. "Yeah, I know someone. I'll give them a call and let them know what's happening if that's okay with you?"

"Please do. Thank you, William, see you soon."

"See you soon." With that, the two hung up and Wilbur allowed a few tears to fall before glancing at the email with his plane ticket then running out of his office back to his and Aster's apartment. As he ran he pulled up Ranboo's contact. The phone rang a couple of times before it was picked up with Ranboo's slightly confused, "Hello?"

"Ranboo, how busy are you right now?"

"Uh, I'm not, just had breakfast, was maybe gonna stream soon."

"I need you to either call Emiko or get to Orlando now."

"What's going on?" Ranboo asked, worry and urgency taking over his tone of voice.
