âShe seems fine to me.â
âN-no! I mean, sheâs fine now, but earlier, she ate something weird, andâ¦â
Suzune frowned. âShe ate something she shouldnât have? What was it?â
âI donât know. We were on a walk, when⦠Oh! Do you know where Tenso Shrine is?â
The doctor nodded, prompting her to continue.
âWell, I went there to pray, but Linda got under the offering box and started scratching. I saw something shiny stuck on her paw. Then she got it in her mouthâ¦â
âAnd when you tried to take it away, she swallowed it,â Suzune finished, much to Yukinaâs surprise.
âDid you see it happen, Doctor?â
âNo, itâs just very common. Dogs think youâre trying to steal their prey, so they hurry to swallow it. How big was the object?â
Yukina made a face. âIt was golden, not that big⦠I really donât know! It all happened so fast.â
Suzune adjusted Linda in her arms and opened the door to the exam room. âYuusuke, can you prep the X-ray machine? Wait right there, Yukina. I want to identify what it is first before we decide on a course of action⦠We might need to take it out with an endoscope. Or in the worst-case scenario, perform surgery to extract the object.â
Suddenly, the waiting room was tense again.
Yuusuke promptly followed Suzune into the exam area. Yukina, meanwhile, slumped to the floor weakly.
âS-surgeryâ¦?â
Mayuka crouched next to her and said soothingly, âDonât worry, Yukina. Iâm sure itâll turn out fine. I bet itâs nothingâ¦â
But Yukina put her hands on her cheeks and shook her head back and forth. âIâm so, so stupid! I was so focused on praying that I completely stopped paying attention to Lindaâ¦â
âPraying? It must have been about something really important.â
âNo, it wasnât! I was just hoping to win a drawing for some concert tickets. Iâm so mad at myself. It wasnât important at all. And if something happens to Lindaâ¦â
Yukina started to wail, much to Mayukaâs consternation.
âD-donât cry⦠Iâm sure itâll be fineâ¦,â the younger girl said unconvincingly. She looked to Hinata for help. He just shook his head. At times like this, there was nothing you could say. All they could do was wait for the diagnosis to come back.
What an exhausting day this has been, Hinata thought, sighing. Two separate people bursting into tears in the lobby. Poor Chris is probably upstairs wondering when Iâm going to get homeâ¦
For a while, the only sound was Yukinaâs quiet sobbing. Hinata and Mayuka kept glancing at each other as they waited for the door to the examination room to open again.
Hinata was looking at the ceiling, thinking about Chris, when Suzune emerged at last. âThanks for waiting, Yukina,â she said, wiping her hands with a paper towel.
âH-how is it, Doctor?â Yukina asked, springing to her feet.
âFrom what I can see on the X-ray, there is an object in her stomach. Itâs probably made of metal. We could try getting her to throw it up, but the shape will make it a little tricky.â
âWhat shape?â
âIt looks like a classic five-pointed star.
