Running Home

Elric quickly rushed over to the bedside, reaching past the IV fluids and pulling the girl into a hug. She luckily didn't have too much stuff hooked up to her, and it wasn't too difficult for Elric to pull her close.

It seemed like Diane could hear Elric's approach over the phone, as she quickly addressed Elric when he rushed over to the bedside.

"Elric, is my daughter really going to be okay?"

The young man shot a glance back at the nurse, who had walked into the room behind him. Seeing the medical professional's nod, Elric responded in kind.

"Yes, mam. I'm sorry about what happened. I didn't-"

"It isn't your fault. It was probably some crazy fan, there's no way to know something like this would happen."

Ember grinned as she pulled herself up in the hospital bed.

"Aside from a small headache, I feel fine right now. The doctor said I should be fine to keep on singing during the contest."
