"You are fine but it will be best if you don't push yourself for a few days." The doctor instructed as she removed the drip from the patient's wrist. The idol nodded silently as the doctor worked.

"Maki..Thank you.." Nico said with a soft voice, hoping to start a normal conversation with the other party in the room.

"Don't get the wrong idea, I'm not doing this for you. I'm only letting you stay because Eli asked." Her words were like daggers to Nico's heart but she wasn't planning on showing it.

"While you are here, don't touch any of my things outside this room. There's a water dispenser over there and food there." She pointed at the different location of the room. "And since you can't be found don't leave this office for whatever reason."

The doctor continued the list of instruction. "There is Kotori's number, call if you need anything. She is on duty mostly on Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays." The nurse didn't really have a fixed schedule but she was normally free on those days.

The idol just kept nodding at the doctor.

"If that is all, I have things to do." She stated simply, turned and walked out of the room. 

Nico stared at the door, sighing to herself.

She looked around the room and got out of bed slowly, walking over to the water dispenser.

She took a cup, gulping down the contents quickly and heaving a sigh when she was done, slamming the cup on the table.

"Why did things turn out this way?" She muttered to herself. Her ruby eyes spotted something on the floor. She got curious and went agaisnt all the warning ringing in her mind and picked it up. It was an old photograph with some cuts and tears along the edges.

She flipped it around, her fingers shook and tears started to stream down her cheeks onto the floor.

"How are you today?" The doctor asked the patient with a bright smile on her face. The old man in bed couldn't help but to feel much happier than he did in the morning with the doctor at his side.

"Much better. Thank you, doctor." He replied with his husky voice back to the doctor and a smile to go along.

"That's good. I'll be back to check on you in the afternoon." With that being said she turned and left the bed and on to the next. Just like that she visited all the people in that room with the same bright smile that could lighten everyone's hearts.

That smile vapourised the very second she stepped out of the room.

"Alright next room." She breathed to herself and pushed off from the wall.

"You shouldn't push yourself too hard you know. Next thing you know you will be just like Nico-chan." The doctor looked up.

"What are you saying, Kotori-chan?" She sighed.

"Nothing." Her friend smiled and moved closer to the doctor.

"What are you doing here today?" Maki asked when she realised that she wasn't in her nurse uniform.

"Ah well I thought I could entertain Nico-chan a little since I'm free."

"She is in my office."

"Of course I know that." She giggled. "But since we are here. Why not we go for lunch together?"

Kotori grabbed her hand before she was given a chance to reply, pulling her towards the backyard of the hospital.

"Oi, Kotori. You know I have work to take care of."

"Don't worry about that I told Miyuki to take care of it."

Maki couldn't do much but to sigh and just go along with it.

Kotori found a table and set the basket that Maki didn't notice she was holding onto.

"What's all this suddenly?" The doctor raised an eyebrow and took a seat opposite Kotori.

"Nothing much, just wanted to have lunch with you." She smiled what seemed to be innocently.

"Really? I don't buy that."

Kotori pulled out a couple of sandwiches and some other side dishes.

"Nothing ever gets pass you does it?"

The red head flipped her hair and smirked "Not really."

Kotori sighed and bit into her food "Fine. I really wanted to talk about Nico."

Maki stiffen "What about her?" Her voice was stained and forced.

"Don't play dumb with me."

On the other side of the town sat down two hardworking manager deep in discussion.

"Elicchi you know you can't do that."

"And why not?"

"So naughty."

There was a sudden bang of the door and in came another pair.

"I thought you two had to settle the press nya!" Rin shouted at the two who were flat in the table.

"Want to join us?" Nozomi asked playfully.

Eli climbed off the table and adjusted her clothes with a little sigh.

"What are the two of you doing nya?!"

Nozomi got up as well and walked over to their cat like friend with her hands up ready for attack. The orange  hair little cat started to back up slowly.

"Are you ready to be punish for disturbing us?"

"Nya!!!" She screamed as she was being tackled down to the ground.

"Nozomi let go of her." Eli sighed, shaking her head with a smile.

"I don't get it. Weren't the two of you figuring out how to solve Nico's problem?" Hanayo asked, standing away from the duo on the floor.

"Not at all. That has already been settled a long time ago."

"EH?!" Hanayo and Rin exclaimed together.

"Of course. We are the best managers after all." Nozomi got up winking  at the two of them.

"I don't get it at all." Hanayo sighed.

The two managers just exchanged looks and smiled.
