Arthur stood in front of Audrey, reaching out to touch the bloody hole on her shoulder, and asked, "Audrey Price, don't you feel pain?"
Pain!
Of course it hurts!
But nothing hurts as much as the words you just whispered into my ear.

The century-old Ice Flower Festival was finally temporarily paused today, with all lights and illumination activated. All modern facilities were set in motion.
Audrey's injuries were too severe, and the imperial physician could only provide basic blood-stopping treatment before she was rapidly rushed by ambulance to York Hospital. Experts from all departments were urgently recalled to perform surgery on her.
Hospital.
