Day 48: Doctor's Office 3 (Dr. Kisugi) [Fourth Shift]
Only one more patient to see and the week would be over -- in a manner of speaking, that was. Her official work would be ended, but tomorrow? Ah, tomorrow. Unless the schedule was changed (and why should it be?) tomorrow the patients would be on their field trip to Doyleton. Wandering about town with some pretense at freedom, and right where she could see them. Approach them. And, perhaps, find something, or someone, to provide some small amount of amusement in what would otherwise have been a rather bland weekend.
Still, though, there was that one more patient. A new patient, no less. And female. Though so many of her patients thus far had been terribly disappointing, Makiko still held out hope with each one. Even when temporarily lessened, soothed by a brief, hasty snack, her hunger gnawed ceaselessly and demanded more. More, more, more always more and her choices were sadly lacking here and even more so in town.
She stabbed at the 'play' button on the CD player, then frowned at the song which began to play and quickly advanced to the next track. There'd be none of that, that merely reminded her of home, of what she didn't have now. No. No point in regretting; all she could do was establish herself here. For now, she'd just wait for Miss Jones to arrive.
