August 19th, a Monday, Rowdy Brightwill was scheduled for training, but since Captain Bard Walker was still at sea training, Drake Easton had taken over the team.
Using their life-and-death revolutionary friendship as leverage, Rowdy Brightwill wheedled and cajoled until he managed to wrangle half a day's leave from Drake Easton.
So——
From the moment they met up until nine o'clock, Rowdy Brightwill stayed right by Flossie Wright's side.
Even when Flossie Wright had finished eating and ran a few laps, he followed without fail.
Flossie Wright simply pretended he wasn't there, still going about her tasks at her own pace.
Around nine o'clock.
Flossie Wright arrived at the Military District Hospital together with Rowdy Brightwill.
"Hey, are we really coming empty-handed?"
Walking into the hospital entrance, Rowdy Brightwill tilted his head and asked Flossie Wright somewhat uncomfortably.
"Otherwise?"
Flossie Wright gave him a sidelong glance.
