"That sounds familiar. I'll have to look in the archives under K, but I'll see. I understand that on your files you are indeed a Keneton, and this Budge fellow must be your brother. I'll see what I can do, but right now, there's something important I need to take care of in regards to you."

"What's that?"

She drew a tray close to her. "I just need to examine your physical state, including that arm of yours. Would you mind telling me how it happened while I work?"

Nurse Bell got up from her chair, and tinkered with some of the instruments on the tray, testing their battery life and checking for any grime from the last experiment.

"My family was on a hiking trip, and I think we were about halfway up the trail when I wasn't looking where I was going... probably distracted by something, and I fell down a ditch. That's when we had to cut the event in to two; the other half was dedicated to my fractured arm."

Audiney bent down in the chair and tucked his head underneath his hands. "I'm so stupid," he muttered under his breath.

Nurse Bell turned around. "What makes you say that?"

"I'm afraid of everything that surrounds me. I keep thinking that I'll be okay, but I'm not. There's... been a lot of bad things that have happened to me in the past."

"Are you willing to expand on that?"
