Doctor and the lazy roommate

Tournament Part 2

Random question, has there been a bald character In arknights? And what would they look like?

[><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><]

Doctor woke up early today. Their destination is quite far, so they'll leave early, besides their meeting with Hoshi. He hasn't told Yisheng about their new friend he met yesterday; hopefully, they get along well.

Yisheng just woke up moments ago and went to shower. He cooked them something light to eat. Doctor sat in the chair and went to text Hoshiguma.

// Hey, we're still at home. Are you at the station? //
-Doktoru

// Same for me. I'm still getting ready. See you at the station. // 
-Hoshiguma

// I see. I'll see you at the station too. //
-Doktoru

He put away his phone and started eating. Yisheng was still showering, always taking about 20-30 minutes to finish. Of course, he doesn't mind most of the time, but when they're on a time limit, he always tells her to hurry up.

Since he didn't have anything better to do other than browse his phone, he just went in circles when he didn't find anything interesting. He also bought some books in three different genres: action, dark fantasy, and romance. These were his interests. He found it nice to read while relaxing, and while there's peace and quiet. He flipped open a book about a love story between a man venturing deep into a giant sinkhole for treasures beneath and his close childhood female friend, who had become more machine than human and whom he met again after a long time. The development was slow; she had lost interest in him long ago, seeing him as nothing more than a disposable meat shield.

He had accepted that. He was merely doing this for the money now, as his family needed it; their restaurant was close to shutting down. Throughout their adventure, she began to look at him differently—from a disposable meat shield to a valuable asset, then to a friend again, and finally to a love interest.

But it doesn't last. Doctor was at the last few pages of the book. He was stuck alone as demons attacked them—beasts found inside the sinkhole. At this point in the story, they had formed a large group, venturing deeper than most had ever done. After the massacre of the entire cast, he covered the retreat of his childhood friend and comrade, whom he ordered to retreat with her. She was extremely reluctant to leave him behind but was forced to. In the end, he died fighting for their retreat, buying only a few seconds before he was devoured by an entire horde.

Doctor closed the book as he read until the end. It was a really good story from start to finish. Although the ending was a bit abrupt, he appreciated the start of the story, which he enjoyed. Moving on, Yisheng was finally finished showering, and it was his turn.

"Took you long enough," Doctor said.

"Can't argue with that," Yisheng replied.

"You should get eating. I'll wash the plate after I'm done washing myself, so we won't have anything to do after getting home," he said, as he went to grab his towel, coat, tank top, and regular T-shirt and pants.

"I'll wash the plates myself," she said to Doc.

"If you say so." Doctor then entered the bathroom. After closing the door behind him, he started undressing, unbuttoning the clothes he wore from yesterday, and removing his mask. He examined his physique. He had gained some muscle in his belly, shoulders, biceps, legs, and thighs. His exercise was indeed worth it. He no longer felt weak and had fewer medical issues. Exercising day and night made him feel alive, and he didn't get tired as easily anymore.
