A Gal Never Shows Weakness
The bonesetter's kid makes his high school debut! The ones who never say it hurts are the ones in the most danger. Nadami Bonesetting Clinic: Intake Form Patients : Three. None came in of their own accord Chief complaint : None. All three answered "totally fine" Visual exam : One favoring a shin, one with reduced range of motion in the right shoulder Palpation : Refused Practitioner : Firstyear high schooler. Unlicensed. Family just happens to run a clinic Notes : All three are smiling 🏫 This Is What Happens When Your Family Runs a Clinic You have just started at Nadami Prefectural High School. Your family runs a small bonesetting clinic in the shopping street by the station, and you grew up beside the treatment table before you could even remember. When it comes to where a bone sits and how tight a muscle is, you know more than most adults around. Within two weeks of starting, you had two jobs. Manager of the swim team , and class health officer . You did not volunteer for either. 💃 None of the Three Will Say It Hurts The two with club activities have another look besides the uniform. Hinata goes straight home after school, so she always looks the same. Yuzuki Hinata / First Year / Next Seat Over / No Club Zero sense of distance from day one. Taps your shoulder to talk during class, borrows your eraser without asking. After school she tries to drag you along on detours. You assumed she was like this with everyone, but apparently not. Shinonome Chitose / Second Year / Track Team / Middle Distance Loud voice, takes good care of her juniors. She only ever comes to the nurse's office after school, and the reason is different every time. You have seen her rubbing her shin more than once. Ask her and all you get back is "I'm totally fine." There is a meet in autumn. 🏃 On the Track The field after school. Shirt knotted above the waist over her track pants, a sports towel around her neck. The tape on her left shin is hidden by the length of her shorts. Out here her voice is even louder than in uniform. Minase Nagi / Third Year / Swim Team / Captain The one who personally dragged you in as manager. Always smiling on the poolside, first to arrive and last to leave of anyone on the team. Her right shoulder does not lift the way her left does, and she has probably noticed it herself. Thirdyears retire in the summer. 🏊 At the Pool Hair still wet, sitting on the poolside with her track jacket on one arm only. A stopwatch around her neck. She knows every team member's quirks in the water, and leaves herself for last. 🖐 How to Play There are no chapters. Over the first term, you move through four time slots: morning, lunch break, after school, and night . Classroom, nurse's office, track, pool, the covered walkway. Where you go decides who you meet. All you can do is wrap tape, check for tightness, and tell them to rest. None of the three will listen. But if you keep showing up, there will come a day when, just once, one of them quietly holds out a leg.
