"Nurse Lin. Nurse Lin."
"What is it? Are you hurt?"
"Yes."
"Where's the pain?"
".....My heart."
"Your heart?"
"Ariel is my sister and forgot to take me with her."
"......Get to class."
"But Lin."
"You're a very bad liar, and even worse at walking."
"But I'm not."
"You?"
"....My brother pushed me. We were showing off, and…."
"Then why didn't you start with that?"
"Cause pain is in the mind. I like to tell jokes to help everything go away, you know?"
"Clinic...now."
"But."
"Yes, we're training Soldiers here; but we are not training emotionless robots. You got something, you speak up."
"...Yes, Nurse Lin.
Just thought you could use a bit of cheering up instead of worrying about how the year will go."
"Well, thanks for thinking of me; and trying to lighten my mood."
"Max. ....Maxillary is the name."
"Nice to meet you, Max. You know, it's completely fine to help calm other people's nerves in a stressful situation, but don't forget you can also ask for help too. No need to be the Hero, if you are the one worse off."
"Can I ask you a personal question?"
"How personal?"
"Your Clinic is very big.
….Is that because you are expecting a lot of people?"
"Uhhhh....Let's take a look at that Knee of yours so we can get you back to Orientartions first thing."
"To be honest, I didn't even want to go."
*Tap…tap*
"Did you feel that?"
"Just a little. I mean, I am not here to show off to my family, or to myself even."
"Then why are you here?
Can you give me a stretch, please."
"My Family thinks I am the strongest and deserve to go here, but I don't want to take the first step and go outside my comfort zone. They know I have something in me, and I know it. I can feel it. Just....."
"Scared?"
"So, my family came to support me; not so much to find powers for themselves.
And I've already let them down by getting hurt."
"They pushed you too hard?"
"No.
The Exciement made me push too hard. I told my brother to push back and give it a try.I might me magically stronger, but definitely am not physically."
"Not with this knee you're not. Surprised thought that you said pain was only a little. You knee looks like it…."
"Wait, Don't pull tha….
*Snap*
".......Is your foot supposed to do this? Why is there no blood?"
"Yeaaah. I'm a....I'm a...….Mist."
"You shouldn't be here."
"What do you mean? It's fine. Nobody knows the truth."
"But they will, and they….."
"What are you so worried about? It's your job to take care of everyone."
"How did you get out of the Forest?"
"The what? I wasn't born in the forest. I was born at my house."
"Nevrmind. Run along now."
"Ummmmm...Thanks.
Can I be discharged now?"
"Of course.
…...Lolli, come in."
"Lolli here."
"We have a problem. I know Headmaster doesn't want us stealing Kids, but what happens when they walk right up to us?"
"Name?"
"Maxillary. He has a necklace tattoo that looks more like a burnmark then a birthmark.
I thought you couldn't escape the Suit once it entrapped you."
"Not as yourself no, but the Suit can't run on its own. It needs life....no matter how small. Probably sucked him down to when he was just an infant. As long as he had a breath, the Suit had a life."
"That explains how he got out, but not how he got out."
"Can you talk to him further?"
"Lolli, I am a Nurse. I fix problems, not make them. You asking me to purposely hurt him, just to get him in here to talk? He might not even remember his past life. Just stay on it and get back to me. Keep your eyes peeled."
"You as well.
…..Ha….ha...…hoo...pe…you have a nice day."
"Rainbow's plan of getting you to talk more didn't help?"
"I said have a nice day."
"Chill, Lolli. And thank you. Truly."
