>>18695186>>18698289>[In the reception area of Spaghetti Town General Hospital, Sola Fire paces back and forth nervously. She’s been here before -- more times than she’d like, though fewer than many would have you believe -- but this time she’s not here as a patient. Carmody Jefferson, the closest thing Sola has to a friend right now, is in here somewhere, dealing with the consequences of knowing Sola in the first place. Sola doesn’t even want to think of *that person’s* name. A few orderlies and nurses look at Sola knowingly, and Sola even recognises some of them in return, but it is the uninterested receptionist that is causing the most pain for Sola right now.]“Yes, please, I’m here to see Carmody Jefferson. She was attacked at the show -- please, you must know what happened -- can I” --
>[The receptionist rolls her eyes; it’s another day of backstage assaults at the dirt league fighting bar, or whatever all these kids are always blathering about.]“Whatever, go and see her.”
>[Sola gets the room number and a direction, and heads off down the hallway. She is struggling to find the room, when none other than Ash Romero steps out, and the two lock eyes. Sola wonders if she should say anything. She never got those ring smarts before the Karna match and... well, here she is, not exactly a loser, but hardly a winner.]
