Previously, At Ciara's Home...
...
Ciara stared at her Golden VIP Ticket to the Steam Concert like it was the most valuable treasure in the world.
"Ah! The VIP ticket... My golden ticket to see Reo again... Perfect Reo... So this isn't a dream...", she gasped and collapsed back unto the muddled sheets. A happy mess.
She lay still for a few minutes gazing at the ceiling.
She stared on into space, getting lost in the images of Reo tattooed upon her brain.
Her bones turned to liquid again.
Her eyes softened.
"Reo... Meeting you today was un-believable... I can't wait to see you again...", she whispered.

A few minutes later...
Ciara's phone rang.
She looked at the caller id on the phone.
"Oh it's Lana.", she smiled,
She picked up the call.
"Hey, Lana."
"Hey, Ara...", Lana's gentle voice came through the phone. From the tone of her voice, one could easily tell that she called to console her best friend.
"...Hey, pay no mind to that demon, Sonia alright?... I've been thinking of a plan to fix your reputation and I think I've got an idea. We could try to create even bigger news that drowns out your own scandal. Something huge... I could even break into Sonia's room. I'm pretty sure there's loads of embarrassing stuff she's been hiding...", Lana suggested.
Ciara giggled.
"Stop laughing Ara. You know she's an evil villain and she deserves it! She didn't have to read out the letter or publish it on the school's notice board, let alone on the school's website!!... And need I remind you of Luke?..." Lana was intent on carrying out her vengeful plan. She had had enough of Sonia's picking on her friend.
On the other side of the phone, Lana, the cute little waitress in pink fumed. She stood with a sassy arm on her waist and a funny frown on her face. Her long, black double ponytails swished about with her movements. She looked just as annoyed as a little bunny could.
"Haha! Thanks, Lana, but that's too risky. As much as I want to teach her a lesson, it's better not to act rashly or we could get in deeper trouble. Breaking and entering is a crime. I could never let you do that for me even if you could... Haha... And there's no way a cute little bunny like you can pull it off!... Haha...", she laughed.
"Hey! I can totally pull it off...", a pouting Lana objected.
"No, you can't...Haha... Hold your fire, Lana. I'm fine, really. There's no need to attack haha...", Ciara calmed her friend down.
"You sure?"
"Yes. I'm sure. I'm the happiest I've ever been. You won't believe what just happened to me... I met Reo!!!! Aaaaaaaaahhhhhh!!!!", Ciara's high-pitched scream almost deafened her friend.
"What?! Reo?!!!... Where?! How?!!... Wait, do you mean like placard Reo, Reo in your closet or Reo, Reo like real, unbelievably hot, goddxmn out-of-this-world steamy Reo?", Lana rapped 30words per minute.
"Yes! Reo, Reo!!! In the flesh!!! Aaaaaaaaahhhhh!!!", Ciara mindlessly screamed into the phone again.
Lana couldn't believe her deafening ears.
"What?! Really?! How on earth did that happen?!!!!", she screamed back.
Ciara explained in a summary.
"Ok, so super summary, I helped his grandma on the streets without knowing it. She took me to her house and I met him!! Omg!! I'm dying!! Aaaaaaahhhhh!!!", she screamed again
"Aaaaaaaaahhhhh!!!!!", Lana screamed back with high-pitched excitement.
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh!!!!", Ciara screamed again.
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh!!!!", Lana screamed back.
"OMG! OMG! OMG!!!", Ciara added effect to her scream.
"Aaaaaaahhhhh!!! O! M! fxxking G!!!", Lana joined her, screaming uncontrollably in her packed family restaurant like a true idiot. That immediately earned her some weird looks from the long line of customers waiting for their orders.
"...And get this, Lana. He gave me a VIP ticket for the concert this weekend! It admits two!! Aah!! Guess who I'm bringing...", Ciara continued, completely blowing away her already mindless friend.
"Gasp! What?!!! Me?!! No way!!!", Lana gasped with understanding.
"Yes way girl!!!", Ciara confirmed Lana was her +1 !
"Whaaaaat?!!! I get to go with you and see Steam perform?! ...And see Neo?!!!... Omg! Omg! Thank you, Ara!!! Omg! I'm dying!!!", Lana adequately expressed her joy.
Ciara giggled.
"As you should, Lana! As you should! Haha! As a matter of fact, I am already dead! Haha!! ...O!M!G! It was so amazing, Lana! You have no idea!! Aaaaaaaaahhh!!!", she screamed again, leading to another wave of excited screams.
Aaaaaaaaaaahhhhh!!!
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhh!!!
Went the high-pitched screams again. And suddenly, Lana started dancing to her own freestyle music.
"I'm going to the concert! I'm going to the concert! Oh yeah! Oh yeah! Woop Woop!! Yay!!", she swayed her hips as she sang, dancing for joy and then ended with a full spin!
By now, the entire restaurant was staring at Lana. Hysterical Laughter erupted from her audience of customers!
Lana turned around, startled by the sudden laughter. Only now did she notice her audience and realise that she was disturbing the peace.
She suddenly felt her father's stern gaze pointing in her direction from the kitchens.
She broke out in a cold sweat and flashed a sweet smile.
"Uhhh... Ara, I'm at the restaurant right now and everyone's looking at me weird, like 'This crazy waitress has totally lost her mind.' Haha! I gotta go now before dad fires me. So tomorrow? Tell me everything!", Lana requested in a hushed tone this time.
"Oh sure... Haha! I need to work on a dress now anyways. Tell you all about it tomorrow. Love you, bye.", Ciara replied reasonably.
"Bye.", Lana whispered before ending the call and hiding her phone.
"...Hehe... I'm really sorry. Free chocolate on me?", she politely offered her audience.
Another round of laughter erupted.

Meanwhile, At Grande Avenue...
...
Reo was at a private session with his trusted doctor and close friend, Dr Damien, a renowned genius in the medical field and one of the best doctors in C country.
"How have you been this past few days?", Dr Damien asked his patient.
"Much better. The new treatment seems to be working. Most of my symptoms are gone but I still have trouble sleeping due to nightmares. I have nightmares virtually every night. Terrible flashes of the past... Some days I can't sleep at all. I just wish I can heal up quickly and get some real rest. It will improve my performance...", Reo explained. He knew his condition was serious, yet his face held no worries. Reo preferred to focus on the positive.
"...The point is, my state has greatly improved from its previously torturous conditions. I'm thankful for that much.", he added with a smile.
Dr Damien smiled.
"Reo, your state is steadily improving, albeit slowly. You are currently undergoing the best treatment for PTSD, but the truth is that it is taking too long to get the results we desire. I just wish your treatment began early enough after the incident. It would have worked faster. Right now, the best we can do is continue treatment and hope for a real break...", Damien analysed.
"...We'll keep monitoring your progress. Inform me if there's any change in your state, and pay attention to anything that can cause changes."
"Sure.", Reo replied.
"How's the violin phobia?", asked Dr Damien.
"Violins remain a trigger, but no worries. I can handle it.", Reo answered with another charming smile.
Damien facepalmed.
"You're strong, Reo but please don't overdo it. I worry too, you know?", he said with a weak smile.
"You worry too much. I'm fine Damien. Thank you.", replied Reo.
