**Today, Akiha is walking to school. Well, it's not like she has a reliable mom with a vehicle to drive her, much less her handmaids who did that for her before. But, walking is fine anyway. She couldn't possible take the bus as she missed it. She simply felt ill this morning and didn't want to leave bed

[Ryoga, who never goes to school to begin with, stumbles upon this girl on his journey back home. Surprised, he runs right over.]

A-Ah! Are you alright?

[tohnoinversion]

**Grumbling something, but it makes sense...**

Aren't vaccines supposed to prevent sickness...

[resoundingfang]

[He pauses. His worked, but...]

Did you catch the sickness spreading around town?

[tohnoinversion]

I shoudln't have... I was forced to take the vaccine...

[resoundingfang]

[He mutters under his breath.] ...perhaps it has a delayed effect on some...

Ah... maybe you shouldn't be walking around.

[tohnoinversion]

I can't simply miss school. I was well enough to get out of bed.

...

I suppose if I'd been feeling better... I wouldn't be late.

[resoundingfang]

Yes, but if you go, you could possibly spread the illness to others, which would be even worse.

[tohnoinversion]

Then why would they hand out a vaccine that wouldn't work?

[resoundingfang]

Er... perhaps it takes a while for it to work. I received a vaccine too, and it's working well for me.

[tohnoinversion]

When did you get yours?

[resoundingfang]

Earlier this morning. I was trying to find my way home, and they explained the situation to me-- I took it willingly.

[tohnoinversion]

I did as well, yesterday. Last night more specifically. I haven't felt well since.

[resoundingfang]

In that case, I would imagine that staying in bed until the vaccine worked would be a good idea.

[He's hesitant to actually put a hand on her, so he just steps forward nervously.] Would you like help getting back there?

[tohnoinversion]

**He does get a glare for his hesitation. She's not contagious or anything.**

That would be appreciated.

[resoundingfang]

[Sadly that's his nature :\ But after a while, he decides to put a hand on her back, just to calm her down.]

Okay. Where do you live?

[tohnoinversion]

At the end of the block...
