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…”
Forcing a smile, Sera let out a weak laugh at his comment. “Heh…You know…I don’t…know your name….” Hopefully she’d be getting help soon, her wheezing for air was getting worse. The scared teen shot a glance at the street, trying to see if the ambulance had arrived yet.
His smile fell into a gentler one when he noticed how she was sounding, though showed no nervousness of his own. He didn’t want her getting scared any more than she already was if she thought he was worried about her condition as well.
“Kuroba Kaito,” a hand came up to scratch his cheek as he gave a small laugh, “I’d say it’s a pleasure to meet you… but… Probably isn’t on your end…”
The magician followed her gaze down the street, still not seeing anything, but could he hear sirens? Hope his imagination wasn’t messing around with him…
“They’ll get here in time. Don’t worry, some bee isn’t going to be taking you out today if I have anything to say about it.”
