Episode 10: I Feel it Burden me. I Feel it Burden You.
"How is she doing...?"
"She hasn't gotten better."
Robin stood awkwardly, Palutena on the wooden bench slumped back. Robin had just gotten back from Ylisse and couldn't be there a few days before when Daisy was brought to the hospital, but hey at least he's here now.
"Where's everyone else?" Robin asked.
"Picking up some snacks. We can't go into Daisy's room right now so... you know, just killing time."
Robin nodded awkwardly as a painfully awkward silence came between them. Talking with one another was always sort of awkward, but having to be alone together was horrid.
"How have you been lately?" Robin asked, desperate to break the ice.
"Uh, fine? Why are you asking?" Palutena asked confusedly.
"Just... asking a friend."
Friend.
Palutena would try not to contemplate whether or not they were there yet.
"How have you been?" Pat asked in return.
"Fine, I guess."
This hurt.
Until they heard frantic footsteps running out of the hospital.
The two turned their heads to see a tall man with a lab coat running out the building.
They couldn't quite make out his face.
But he was rushing to his car. An ugly tan brown car.
"Wait."
"What."
"That's..."
Robin was already slowly taking out his keys.
"Oh shit—"
"Are we driving."
"Yes let's go."
The two rushed to Robin's car, Robin hopping in the drivers seat as Palutena hopped in beside him.
"Follow him?"
"Yes."
"Okay," Robin started the car, seconds later taking off. "Why?"
"The staff was looking for him."
"Why?"
"No idea but they seemed really frantic on it."
"And you're sure this is who they're looking for?"
"Yes!"
"Pat—"
"He's gonna get away!"
Robin sighed to himself as he went on, in pursuit of the car not too far ahead of them.
The male wasn't sure if he should be even be doing this anyway. Besides, he knew the girl next to him was ever so paranoid, sometimes she would have episodes whether it be in public or even just with friends. And to be chasing a whole car down could've been a part of this.
But unfortunately for Robin, an unwanted gut feeling told him to keep going.
