Getting discharged

After 2 days, that felt like an entire 2 years for Rhea, she finally got discharged, with a couple light wounds that still need some more time to fully recover. And right now, she's at the counter with her sister, Allison, who want to at least pay her little sister a visit, and fortunately, she got her manager allowances.

"Another medicine? Really? I hate those…" Rhea groaned, protesting about getting another medicine for her recovery. "C'mon, sis. It's just for a while. After you're fully recovered, you don't have to drink those bitter pills again! Well, unless you choose to get beaten up again like before." Allison said, while receiving the pills from the nurse in front of her. "Tch." Rhea clicked her tongue and slumped on the chair behind her, with her arms crossed.

"Since when did you get this childish, sis?" Allison asked, felt weirded out by her unusual behavior. "Don't ask me." Rhea responded, with her eyes averted from Allison. Allison sighed, and massaged her forehead, before putting her right hand on her hip. "Green tea? My treat." She said, offering Rhea her favorite drink, as Rhea immediately look at her, nodding vigorously. "I knew green tea can change your mind." Allison grinned.

"Let's go then." Rhea said, not gonna make her lovely green tea wait. "Right, right." Allison nodded and followed her until they got to the front door, as they was stopped by someone.

"Excuse me! Are one of you is the one who saved my son from Inferno?" A woman asked, making the two Tempest stopped on their track. "That would be my little sister, ma'am!" Allison kindly smiled, as she pointed at Rhea who had a clueless expression plastered on her face. "Me?" She asked, pointing to herself.

"Ah! You're the one! Thank you very much for saving my son! I'm very grateful for your actions!" The woman bowed repeatedly, making the two sister looks at each other, Rhea raised one of her brows, and tilted her head at the bowing woman, while Allison shrugs, not sure what to do. Rhea sighed, and went to face the woman in front of her.

"No need to bow, ma'am." She said, hesitantly, making sure she does not use any offensive words at her. "Ah, of course! My bad!" The woman apologies, and immediately raises her head, to face Rhea's cold one. "So-" Rhea was cut off when Allison suddenly poked her head in front of her, joining the conversation. "Did you wait long? We can do something in return of your patience!" She said, offering the woman something that she can do.

"A-Ah no! No need for that, kind lady! I'm just here to thank the savior of my son!" The woman declined, shaking her head while putting her palms in front of her. "Uhh…did you have anything else to say…?" Rhea asked awkwardly, doesn't know how to put a conversation well.

"Oh, right! Here, please take this as my gratitude!" The woman said, shoving a carton bag to Rhea's chest, starling her. "What...?" She asked, holding the carton bag on her chest, preventing it to fall, as she looks at the woman in front of her, questioning the thing she just received. "Please accept that! I know it's not much, but please take it!" The woman said, with a kind smile plastered on her face.

"But, there's no need to give me things…" Rhea said, while trying to give her a kind smile, but ended up giving her an awkward smile. "No, no. Please take it, as a gratitude for saving my son. And I'm really sorry for all the wounds you get from saving my son!" The woman bowed once again, making Rhea sweats nervously. "N-No problem…I guess…" Rhea rubbed the back of her head, trying to scratch her nervousness away.

The woman raised her head, and smiled brightly, "Hope you two have a great day! I'll be going!" The woman bid her goodbye, and ran off, leaving the two Tempest standing still at the hospital's entrance. "We should get going too!" Allison said, while ruffling Rhea's hair, until it messy. "Stop it." Rhea growled, annoyed by her big sister doings. "Jeez, no need to use that sharp tongue of yours!" Allison backed up a little, get slightly scared of her sharp attitudes. "Whatever." Rhea rolled her eyes and walked away from her, looking for Allison's car, but didn't find it.

Allison put her hand in front of her lips, laughing a little at Rhea's impatience. "It's on the basement." She interrupted, and immediately makes Rhea stopped on her track. Allison can see slight steams comes out from Rhea's ears, already can tell how embarrassed she is. "Shut up…" She said, while covering her face with her hands, tried to hide her red as tomato face from Allison, but Allison still caught a glimpse of her blushing face before Rhea walked away, heading straight to the basement.

"Hey! Wait a moment!" Allison yelled, trying to make Rhea stop and wait for her, but no luck, Rhea already speeded up, leaving Allison all alone. "She's so cute!" Allison squealed, fangirling over Rhea's hidden cuteness.

The two has got inside Allison's car. As always, Allison drive the car, and Rhea's on the seat beside Allison, gazing out the window, doesn't bother to look at her sister. Allison tried to put up a conversations with her, and Rhea always replied with a 'mhm', 'yes', and 'uh-huh', she didn't even looks at Allison. Well, at least she tried.

"I heard you will participate in the event." Allison said, as her eyes fixed on the road in front of her. "Yeah, so what? Where did you hear that, huh?" Rhea finally look away from the window, and looks at Allison. "Uh…Who was it?...Lily Frostine…? If I'm not wrong." Allison shrugged, "Lily? White haired?" Rhea asked, as Allison nodded. "I see." Rhea then nodded in understanding.

The sounds of the melodic piano's note that was amazingly arrange was heard along the empty hallways, it was all beautiful, until the player pressed the wrong note. The player groaned in frustrations, and put their head down on the piano's key, letting out a loud, and displeasuring sounds. As the player was revealed to be Lily Frostine.

"Why can't I do it…?" She muttered, getting paranoid of something. "I might be doom if I can't perform the song in a week…" She let out a frustrated sigh, while ruffling her own hair. She let out a heavy sigh, before getting up from where she sat, and went to lay on her bed, trying to relaxes her stiffen shoulder. "Why did Iplayed piano in the first place anyway…?" She muttered, trying to recall that one time she played the piano.

"Oh yeah. Father's order…" She said, answering her own question. Lily didn't had any intentions to play the piano in the first place, but, as she says, her father's order. Her father was a famous Pianist, way before Lily was born. It was until a certain car accident, that causes him to forgot all the things he learned as a Pianist. The peoples encouraged him, telling him that he can learn all the basics once again, starting off as a newbie once again. But, no matter how much and long he learn, he was unable to remember all the things, and is unable to play the piano.

Even though, Lily has two big sister and one big brother, that is much more compatible for the Pianist role, but, somehow, her father just picked her. Her life was peaceful, and happy, before, until she hit 7. Her father begins to assign her to multiple course piano, that makes her life a living hell. Every time she got the wrong note, he would scolds her to death, and sometimes, abuse her. And slowly, she get more depressed each day, and become scared of him, even refusing to meet him. She would often locks herself in her room, crying silently.
