Chapter 39

Inquiry
Sheila and Cody were in her room, arguing the whole time.
“I did plan to take a good rest today, but I didn’t say I would take the whole day off.”
“Your fever went up because you couldn’t rest, you know? I’m worried about what they might do to you again if you go outside. When I saw you in Jornwerner-sensei’s arms, it seriously shortened my life span.”
“But….”
“Anyway, just sit tight today. You’re on bed rest.”
She insisted that her fever wasn’t that high, but Cody was adamant and wouldn’t listen to her.
He must’ve been very anxious when she didn’t come back from the equipment room, but it was torture for her, who couldn’t stay still, to be asked to spend the whole day in bed.
“…. You’re being mean.”
Sheila looked resentfully at Cody, who was holding a towel to her forehead as she burrowed into her blanket. Her friend seemed momentarily dazed, but he was unwilling to back down.
