  A sharp pain shot up my arm.My wrists.I guess I have torn the healing flesh from gripping the windowsill too hard.

  I unveiled my light magic and saw blood blossoming on the once pristine white bandages.It would be better if I seek medical attention so I would not bleed out.

  I asked Emmeline the other day if she could heal my injury, but she said even if she wanted to help, she could not.Those robots that inflicted it had specail weapons that prevented her magic from healing me.So I guess Accina planned to disable me so I would not do anything to save Trinity back then.

  A warning, for me to not go against whatever her plans are and keep out of the way.Emmeline, on the other hand,  was a chaotic neutral force.She will not do much to help us or Accina. A bystander, to be accurate.

  I concealed my bandages with light magic again and headed towards the clinic.The clinic was student-run, by a group of student doctors that are being trained by professionals.

  I rubbed my forehead, which was burning from a headache.Ah, I get so exhausted so easily these days.I should get myself some pills to relieve my headache.

  Vyn was their leader.So after so long, I would see him again.Hah, I almost forgot his face.

   He was the love interest that I interacted with the least, if I thought about it.Well, his character was not fleshed out that well in the first place. Vyn was basically the hot doctor, for those that liked smart people.

   Ugh...it would be awkward meeting him again.Should I have Emmeline accompany me?No she would probably just coo and ask me to bring Alastair since she's a fan of our 'ship' now.

  What about Eos?No...I don't want Alastair to get the wrong idea, or play with Eos's feelings again.We're still pretty tense now.

  And if I get Alastair to come, well...I fiddled with my fingers.It really was the only logical solution if not who knows he might get jealous of me being alone with another man.

  Then it is decided.Why did it take me so long to decide over such an unimportant thing?

  "Hey, what are you going?"Alastair asked, causing me to yelp at his sudden appearence.

  "Wow, you actually didn't know I was approaching.That means one of two things, you were looking for me so you were shocked I would suddenly appear 'at will'.Or you were so deep in thought that you were unprepared to maintain your cold demeanor.Ehh probably both, right?"Alastair teased me.

  I groaned, replying, "Yes, can you accompany me to the clinic?"

  I unveiled my light magic and Alastair's eyes widened.

  "What did you do to get it bleeding again?"He muttered, holding my bandaged wrist to inspect it.

  I winced, which made Alastair immediately let go of it, muttering an apology.He seemed to be genuinely worried.I frowned, and tried to resist my overwhelming urge to pat Alastair on the head and comfort him.

  Before I knew it, my non-bloodied hand touched the soft golden tufts of Alastair's hair.It did feel like fur from a golden retriever.I curiously patted Alastair's hair, making sure my blood doesn't taint it's golden hue.

  Alastair froze, his ears red.He then picked me up, so that I sat on one of his arms and the other supported my back so I would not fall.One of my arms ended up on Alastair's shoulder while the other hanging loosely to the side.It was like we were fighting to see who can fluster who the most.

  I yelped, not expecting that.

  "Well, what's the real reason that you want me to accompany you, Astraea?"Alastair asked as he started walking.
