The Next Step

Carl walked into a patient's room. He turned on some extra lights.

The room was exceptionally high quality in contrast to the run-down poor-looking village.

This room had all the high-tech equipment of a five-star hospital.

Carl was checking things off of his clipboard.

He looked at his patient. "Akasan, was it? How are you doing?"

Akasan was sat up on his hospital bed. His right arm was wrapped in white bandages. He was flexing it slowly. "I'm feeling great... there's still a dull pain but... I can move it..."

There were six female nurses attending to him.

Carl smiled. "I'm glad. I'm aiming to become a world-famous doctor one day, so I have to take this seriously."

One of the nurses was giving Akasan a back massage.

Akasan looked at Carl. "What kind of village is this? Where were you hiding a place like this? And how was I healed...? I'm pretty sure the bones in my arm were shattered."
