Rei and Touka stumbled out of the taxi before it had even come to a complete halt, the tires screeching against the asphalt of the hospital driveway.
Touka immediately pulled out some cash from her wallet and shoved it towards the driver and followed after Rei immediately.
She didn't care about the change or the confused look from the driver.
Once she caught up, the two moved as a single, panicked unit, their breath hitching as they burst through the sliding glass doors of Nishimiya Private Hospital.
The lobby was vast, sterile, and smelled of that clinical scent that always seemed to signify a transition between life and death.
But they don't have time nor the mind to point that out, or even cared about it as they sprinted straight to the reception desk, their footsteps echoing loudly off the marble floors.
