Red-Haired Troubles

"The name's Rea, Matsunaga Rea." Rea introduced herself. Instead of extending her hand for a handshake, she gave him a business card.

"Tokitawa News Statio— you were the one who interviewed us back then," Hajime exclaimed. He was too fixated on the situation at hand that he didn't even recognize the red-haired lady, granted that red hair is particularly rare for women in Japan.

"Yes... and judging from your panic... did your sister already wake up from her coma?" Rea asked, immediately pulling out a voice recorder from her pocket. Upon realizing what she had done, she apologetically bowed down to Hajime. "I'm sorry, force of habit."

"No, it's all right." Hajime shook his palms in the air as if Rea didn't do anything wrong. "I should be the one apologizing. I took your cab without warning, and now we're heading to the Mikadzuki General Hospital."
