The problem is, that a bystander gets involved in the mishap. Who are these new foes? Where did they come from? Is Team K' enough to put a s...
Octávia wakes up from her slumber. Rising from the hospital bed, she opens her trusty phone wallet case to see that the time is now 10 o'clock in the morning. The female patient starts to wonder if whats-his-name is still around; she has been meaning to ask him about that crazy punch of his.
Entering the lobby, she sees fewer people than yesterday-only medical staff, janitorial workers, and four patients wandering about. Her eyes drift past the bulletin board showcasing the Employee of the Month and hand-drawn pictures made by little children. Still, there was no sign of that guy with the red glove and shades anywhere. It is almost as if he has disappeared, never to be seen again.
'...Oh, guess I'm on my own then...' Assuming he has left for good, a crestfallen Octávia returns to the patient room to do something that she has been avoiding: reach out to her family. Taking out her smartphone, she begins to text one of her main contacts. In the middle of texting, a loud sound breaks her concentration.
*KNOCK-KNOCK!*
Her eyes are fixed on a familiar face by the room's entrance. Displaying a friendly smile, Nurse Patty greets and updates the injured party on her current status.
"Good morning, Octávia. I have news for you! We did a thorough checkup on you head to toe. After examining the results, you have no broken bones anywhere, but you do have bruising in certain places. Plus we need you to keep that arm of yours wrapped up. Those scrapes did look nasty to look at. More than likely, you're going to be scaring, hon."
"I see..." She hears a response from her patient before continuing. After verbally going over her health, documentation, any last-minute questions, and concerns, Octávia is given the green light to be released.
"Before you go, please let me or any staff member know that you're leaving. I hope you get back to tiptop shape, hon."
As the Nurse Practitioner bids a goodbye wave, the heroine focuses on an important task. She messages the same contact from earlier, asking to come pick her up as soon as possible. Moments later, her smartphone receives a response. The short message states that the person is on their way.
*GGGRRRUUUMMMBBBLLLEEE!*
Starving, Octávia arrives at the cafeteria to purchase a small order of breakfast to-go. Beside the cash register is an old flyer featuring a musical quartet; a guitarist, drummer, keyboardist, and vocalist. Being reminded of a certain live event, she sighs miserably while taking her leave to wait by the lobby.
'Of all the things I had to miss, it had to be an Athena concert.' She mentally weeps. Octávia has been a devoted fan of the Pop Idol ever since she heard one of her hit songs being broadcast on the radio. Once news spread about Athena Asaimya going on a world tour, Octávia was beyond ecstatic. The list of cities where she would perform was limited, but it is where most of her fans are located. The only city that was closest to the music fan was none other than Central City. This would have been Octávia's first time going to one of her favorite music artists' live performances in person...Perhaps it was not meant to be.
