"Cough, cough..." Karter had just woken up, still a bit out of it. "Why is everyone here...?" "You just fainted from coughing up blood. Thank goodness for Ms. Abbey, or who knows what might have happened!" A chorus of relatives chimed in, even mentioning how Adrian almost got him killed by insisting Flora treat him! "You really need to rein Adrian in, bringing all sorts of bad influences around, nearly getting you hurt. If it weren't for Ms. Abbey being here by chance..."

The group had been putting Flora down, but Karter hadn't paid them any mind, finding them annoying instead.

"I'll call her whatever I want, alright?" she shot back, annoyed.
Kruz gave a knowing grin. "Ah, the sweet scent of change, I know it well."
