Irie saw a woman sitting on the ground with her face down to her knees. Satoko just continued to shake as she kept a hold of Irie's hand. Irie slowly removed Satoko's hand and motioned for her to stay there. She watched as he walked over to Rosa.

"Hi there." Irie kneeled in front of her. "I'm Dr. Irie Kyosuke. My friends tell me you're having some problems today."

Rosa just continued crying as Irie looked at her.

"I can see you're in some form of pain, but can we talk?" Irie kept his same friendly tone. "I'd love to know the exact problem so I can help you."

Rosa slowly lifted her head as she wiped her eyes.

"That's a good sign." Irie smiled.

"Where's my baby?" Rosa sniffled. "Is she?"

"Rika has a hold of her and is making sure she's okay." Irie placed a hand on her shoulder. "I'm more worried about you, though."

As Irie comforted Rosa, Rika finally returned with Maria in her arms. Thankfully, Maria had calmed down a little but was still frowning.

"Is Rosa okay?" Rika stood by Satoko.

"I don't know." Satoko looked down. "She stopped crying, but I'm not sure if that means she's okay."

"I guess that's at least one good sign." Rika sighed.

"She did ask for Maria," Satoko added. "At least she's not ordering us to stay away anymore."

"Also, another good sign." Rika smiled as she looked down at Maria. "Hear that? Your mama wanted to make sure you're okay."

Maria just nuzzled into Rika's arms, making her smile. Eventually, Irie got up and walked over to them.

"So, Rosa has agreed to let me examine her to ensure everything is okay." Irie kneeled in front of them.

"That's good." Satoko sighed.

"However, I think it's better if we keep Maria away until after I'm done." Irie pushed his glasses up.

"But that's her daughter." Satoko frowned.

"And according to all of you, that's the thing that set her off." Irie frowned. "Just to be safe, I think we should keep Maria away for the time being."

"Has Rosa agreed to that?" Rika frowned as she stepped forward. Irie just nodded in return.

"So, should we just watch Maria?" Satoko pointed at Maria in Rika's arms. "We can't just leave her here alone."

"But we have school." Rika turned to look at Satoko.

"Isn't this more important?" Satoko turned to look at her.

"Satoko, Rika?" A familiar voice said, making them turn around.

"Chie-Sensei?" Satoko looked up at her. "What are you doing here?"

"Oh, I had to refill a prescription for me." Chie smiled.

"Are you sick?" Satoko frowned.

"Oh, no. Nothing like that." Chie blushed as she scratched the back of her head. "Anyways, I thought I'd get it refilled before I had to start class."

"That makes sense." Rika smiled.

"But what are you two doing here?" Chie raised an eyebrow. "There's nothing wrong, is there?"

"They told me their friend hasn't been feeling well." Irie motioned towards Rosa, who was still on the floor.

"Is she okay?" Chie frowned

"That's what I'm going to find out." Irie sighed.

"I don't think we can come to school today either," Satoko added. "Irie said he wants to keep Maria separate from her for safety reasons."

"Maria?" Chie turned to look at Satoko, who pointed at the baby in Rika's arms.

"Rosa already agreed to let Maria have some distance to be safe." Rika frowned.

"Well, I don't want you two missing class." Chie sighed as she walked over to Rika. Chie smiled as she held her arms out, and Rika handed Maria to her. Chie cradled her as she smiled at her. "Want to come to class with us today?"

"Rena?" Maria looked up at her.

"We do have a Rena in our class." Chie giggled.

"Rena already met her." Rika smiled. "I'm sure she'd love seeing Maria in class too."

"Is that allowed, though?" Satoko looked up at Chie.

"We're not doing that much today, so I don't see the issue." Chie smiled. "After all, it's the last two days before break."

"Well, if that's all sorted out, I'll get to work on helping Rosa." Irie smiled as he started to point. "She said her bag for Maria is in the chair over there."

"Thank Ir…" Chie blushed as she paused. "I mean, Dr. Kyosuke."

"No problem." Irie giggled.

"Should we let Rosa say bye?" Satoko asked.

"Keep your distance to be safe." Irie dropped his smile. "She's not sure if she'll have another outburst if Maria gets too close."

"Poor thing." Chie frowned as she slowly walked over and grabbed the bag. She stopped and turned to Rosa. "Excuse me, Ms Rosa?"

Rosa looked up, still frowning, without saying anything back.

"The girls and I will care for Maria while you get better." Chie smiled. "Is that okay?"

Rosa nodded as she sniffled.

"Irie will tell you where the school is in case you get done before we let out class for the day." Chie grabbed Maria's hand and moved it back and forth. "Bye."

Rosa slowly waved back as he finally started to smile. Chie nodded to her before turning around and going towards the exit.

"Hope you get better soon, Rosa." Satoko waved as she walked down the same hall.

"Hope we can all do something after class." Rika smiled as she waved before leaving.

Rosa just smiled as she waved to all of them as they left. Once they were gone, Rosa dropped her smile and looked down.

"So, can we get started now?" Irie walked up and offered his hand.

"...yes…"
