"She doesn't?" Riksa raised her eyebrows as she looked at Irie.
"Nope." Irie sighed as he looked at the clipboard. "That's the problem."
"Problem?" Rika frowned. "She has something worse?"
"I don't think so," Irie said, lifting his glasses. "It's just when I ran some tests on her blood; it reacted differently compared to others; even a test with Satoko's blood went…."
Irie looked down at Rika and saw her shaking. Her head looked down to the floor.
"Let's just forget about that for now," Irie lightly laughed. "The important thing is that this isn't any problem with Rosa on that level."
"But…" Rika looked up, still shaking.
"Rika," Irie knelt to look at Rika face to face. "I promise Rosa is not in danger, and neither are you or your friends."
"Okay…." Rika lightly replied as she looked back down.
"That said, I should still talk to her about what happened." Irie stood back up. "You said she was outside with everyone, right?"
Rika nodded as Irie started walking that way, close behind him.
Meanwhile, Rena rejoined the rest of them and held Maria again. Rosa smiled as she watched Rena play with her.
"Hey Rosa, can we ask you something?" Keiichi asked.
"I don't think Rosa will let you see her in that swimsuit." Shion interrupted, making Rosa laugh. "It's your fault for passing out."
"I wasn't going to ask that!" Keiichi blushed. "And you made me pass out!"
"Shion, let him ask his question." Rosa tried to catch her breath as she turned to Keiichi. "What is it you want to know?"
"We were talking about how good Rena is with Maria," Keiichi pointed at them, making Rosa turn in the same direction. "We joked that Maria likes her because she thought Rena was her big sister."
"I'd be lying if I said they don't at least look the same." Rosa giggled. "I'm not sure why Maria gets along with Rena so well, but I'm not complaining."
During Rosa's discussion with Keiichi, Rena was too busy holding up Maria as if she were flying to hear what they were saying. Satoko was also by Rena, trying to tell her to stop hogging Maria for herself.
"You should move here then." Shion smiled as she sat next to Rosa. "Maria would get to see Rena all the time, and I'd get to tor… I mean, hang out with you."
"You're the second person to mention my moving here, and it's only been two days," Rosa sighed. "Can't I see at least more of this place before trying to talk me into staying?"
"So you'll think about staying after seeing more of Hinamizawa?" Mion smiled as she sat on Rosa's other side.
"Not you, too." Rosa sighed as she dropped her shoulders. "I thought you were supposed to be the good twin."
"Maybe I am, and maybe I'm also Mion." Shion smiled as Rosa turned to look at her. "I could have just told you I was Shion this whole time to mess with you."
"Oh my god." Rosa facepalmed as she groaned and looked up to the sky. "Why do I have to deal with the both of you?"
"You secretly love us, don't lie." Shion giggled.
"Ah, there you are." Irie walked over, smiling. "I wanted to make sure you were doing okay after this morning."
"I was." Rosa turned her head to see Irie before pointing at Shion and Mion. "However, these two are driving me insane."
"Yeah, that eventually happens the longer you're around them together." Irie laughed. After walking out with him, Rika joined Rena and Satoko as they played with Maria. Rosa smiled as she saw them, then frowned and dropped her shoulders as she remembered what they both saw from her.
"So, did your tests show you anything?" Rosa kept looking at the girls as she lowered her tone.
"They showed that there's nothing medically wrong with you." Irie looked at his clipboard. "Most likely, it's just been stress affecting your sleep."
"Oh yeah, Satoko and Rika told us you had trouble sleeping." Keiichi chimed in.
"They told you?" Rosa's eyes got wide as she raised the tone of her voice.
"Yeah, sorry to hear about your sleep issues," Keiichi added.
"Oh," Rosa took a breath after hearing Keiichi explain that.
"It's not anything else, is it?" Shion frowned as she looked at Rosa. "I didn't get any explanation and wasn't sure what was happening."
"Well…" Rosa started to say.
"Rosa came this morning saying she's had trouble sleeping," Irie interrupted. "Since I had no other staff here, I asked Chie to take Maria to ensure Rosa could focus on my exam."
"I wish I had come sooner, then." Shion pulled her knees up and hugged them as she looked down. "If I had been here, I could have watched Maria, and maybe Rosa wouldn't have missed Maria calling her mama."
"Shion." Rosa looked over at her and patted her back. "It's not your fault I missed that, so don't blame yourself."
"Still, I had the day off, and I wanted to come anyway, so…" Shion started to say before Irie interrupted them.
"Wait, Maria said her second word in two days?"
"Yeah, we found the picture of Rosa and Maria in her bag, and she said Mama after looking at it," Mion explained.
"Interesting." Irie wrote something on his clipboard. "Anyways, like I said, it's most likely just stress making it harder for you to sleep."
"So I'm stuck with these issues as long as I'm stressed?" Rosa frowned.
"Good thing you have us then!" Shion smiled as she put her arm around her. "We'll make all that stress go away fast!"
"Shion…" Rosa tried to push her away. "I'm pretty sure you're causing even more stress for me…"
"I think I know something that will help." Irie smiled.
"What's that?" Rosa looked up at Irie, who was pointing toward Rena and the girls. When Rosa turned, she saw Rena was now standing next to them.
"Sorry, Maria started reaching over so…" Rena looked down at Maria, who was smiling as she reached for Rosa again.
"Of course." Rosa smiled as she stood up and took Maria. "Did you miss me again?"
"Mama," She replied while looking up at her.
"Awe, she's so kyute!" Rena stared at Maria. "I want to take her home with me!"
"I figured you'd say that." Rosa sighed as she smiled.
"Well, it seems like everything is fine then." Irie turned around and started walking back inside the clinic. "Have a good day everyone."
Everyone waved as Irie walked back inside.
"So what should we do today?" Rena asked, making everyone turn to her.
"I have an idea." Shion smiled as she raised her hand.
