[002] Doctor's Hours

[waterfell.livejournal.com]

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.

"All right."

She stepped on and engaged in the vigorous run required for the next few minutes. No breathing problems, her heart thumped as it should and no duress. Barely a sweat broken.

Between shallow gasps, she managed to get in...

"Will that suffice?"

It must take a lot of effort for Dorothy to keep her body in such good shape that it compensates for the heart difficulties. Ami admires that; no weakness should be left as a weakness.

"All clear," she says in English.
