My entire body was frozen in place, reeling from the tremor of not just almost being run over by a car but from the thought of not being able to see Sensei again.
The rain was still pattering down, the night still chilly and windy but it doesn't compare to the frost in my chest. The car came to halt a mere inches from me.
"Kiddo, are you alright?" The person in the driver's seat asked once he stepped out from his car. "You could've been injured more than this, lying down on the main road, what were you thinking?!" He demanded.
How to save Sensei.
From behind, the car door opened and another figure stepped out. "Oh my, it's that kid from earlier! I've been wanting to appreciate you, what are you doing soaked in the rain, like some abandoned animal?"
It was only after they pulled me up from the ground that I finally saw who was talking. The chrysanthemum woman.
"Are you hurt?" She asked running an examining look over my body. "Hurt?" I repeated silently.
