[002] Doctor's Hours

This is a waiting room inside a large hospital, comfortably furnished and provided with a mixture of medical journals and fashion magazines. After a reasonable wait, a bustling nurse calls out the appointments, everyone who arrives. "Doctor Mizuno will see you now."

Inside the doctor's office, bookshelves line every wall, packed with heavy textbooks. Doctor Mizuno, remarkably young for her title (youngest in her world, it's rumored) sits behind the sturdy desk with a quiet, self-satisfied smile. She's wanted to be in this place for so long; the thrill of finally achieving it hasn't worn off even in dreams. It's enough to make her smile in the faces of the people who think she's only here because of her mother's famous name, and go about showing them how wrong they are by her results.

"How are you feeling today?" she asks her patient.

"Thank you." Alice nods a bit, still keeping her polite demeanor up. "I hope this will make my friend stop worrying about me. She can overreact at the littlest things sometimes."

Alice giggles a bit to herself to try to keep things light and happy in the room. But the fact that she just visited a doctor just to make Marisa stop worrying for her speaks volumes on it's own.
