13: “I can’t breath.”
Today was just not her day. Sera had somehow not noticed that she had gotten stung until early allergy symptoms started setting in, and when she rummaged through her pockets she realized that she had forgotten her auto-injector at the hotel. To make it worse, the hotel was in Beika and she was in Ekoda, and she had no idea of where the nearest hospital was. Trying to keep calm despite the fact that it was already starting to get harder to breathe, she stopped the nearest person she could find.
“Do you know…where the hospital is? I…I can’t breathe…”
“Kaito…huh?” Sera automatically scratched at the sting on her wrist, barely avoiding the stinger that was still there.
“I hope…they…get here…” She thought she could hear approaching sirens, but it could have been her own desperation talking. “You…hear…that?”
Oh good, it wasn’t his imagination. He almost wanted to sigh in relief, but that could wait.
“Yeah, I hear it. They should be here any minute now. You’ll be okay.”
Kaito kept his eyes on the street until his smile grew when he saw the red lights, and he moved to stand up and wave them over.
