The entire team headed to the venue as if it were any other day. However, there was something that had to be done before anything else.
"Open wide and say ah," the doctor asked Risa, who sat on a chair in the dressing room of the venue for more privacy.
Risa complied and the doctor pushed her tongue down with a stick to be able to see her throat with the help of his glasses' flashlight. Risa choked a few seconds later, so the doctor stepped back.
He threw the stick into the recycling bin and put his glasses in his bag.
"In addition to the radiography I just took, I can confidently tell you that it's nothing serious."
Risa and I smiled at each other.
"That doesn't mean you don't need to rest, however," the doctor added. "In fact, I'd recommend a week of absolute rest, at the very least."
My stomach dropped to the floor.
"A week?" I asked.
