Cadenza: Amor
Chapter 7: Infirm
As soon as you open your eyes, you are blinded by a bright light overhead. The unmistakable odor of a cocktail of disinfectant agents permeates the air. Mixed with walls that are almost glaringly white, it evokes everything that people could dread from a hospital visit.
Look to your left
Look to your right
Maybe someone took all three of you to the hospital. Could it be the guy who rendered you unconscious earlier? That would be odd of him.
You hear faint knocking from the door. It is prudent to feign sleep at this point, even if it means you won't be able to see who your visitor is. As soon as you hear the door creak open, you shut your eyes and stay still.
"You must be that Grace guy Master keeps talking about. I wonder what he wants from you." The guest's voice has a sweet tone to it, the kind of speech that can soothe and console a crying infant. A nurse, perhaps?
You hear footsteps move from your left, to your right. "And you must be the girlfriend?" You hear the woman giggle softly. "You're kinda cute! But it seems like you're in the poorest shape..." After a few beeps, which are probably coming from some kind of vital sign monitor you didn't notice, you hear footsteps once again. They seem to stop right in the middle.
"You… who might you be? Master told me there were only 2 people. And by the way, I know you're no longer sleeping."
