Your expression changes to that of panic as you remember that you're supposed to be on a date right now. If you don't get back soon, Robert might leave!
[[You run back home as quickly as possible.]]You shakily plung your hands into your pockets and hand over the contents. He looks inside your wallet to make sure it has some money in it and something catches his eye.
"This your boyfriend?" he asks, facing the picture of Robert that you always keep in your wallet toward you.
[[Tell him that you're working on it]]
[[Tell him that he is]]You abrubtly push the assailant to the side and bolt past him as quickly as possible. You chance a look back and see him pushing himself from the wall and aiming his weapon at you. He seems a little less shaky than before, and quite annoyed.

The miscreant lowers his weapon and runs past you, mixing with the crowd before you can react.
You walk over to the kind citizen that helped you and thank her profusely.
"I did what anyone would have done.", she says, blushing slightly as her long, dark green hair glistens in the sunlight. You strike up a conversation and move to a nearby coffee shop, learning that her name is Sarah. She enjoys long walks on the beach, candle lit dinners, and talking about her feelings in a mutually beneficial way.
Only in a minute dip in the conversation do you notice the daylight [[waning]].]You stop moving and place your hands in the air.
"Turn around slowly, then walk towards me." the man says, his voice trembling slightly as he speeks.
You do as he asks, and once you get close enough, he begins taking your belongings. He starts by searching to all of your pockets, taking your phone, wallet, and even your wired airpods.
"Okay, now I want you to count to 10. When you're done, put your hands down and just walk into the street as if nothing happened." he says nervously.

|calling)["911, what's your emergency?" you hear a comforting female voice ask from your phone. You hurriedly explain your situation: you were mugged, tried to run, and shot in the lower back. The call taker tries her best to be calm and tells you to keep pressure on your wound. She asks you where you are and you tell her. She keeps you on the line as the EMS and police arrive, asking you basic questions about you and your life.
A while later, the professionals arrive and place you in the back of an ambulance. You're barely awake as they fill you with sedatives and watch your vitals. Once you make it to the ER, they force you to stay awake as they begin to remove the bullet. They talk to you in a similar way that the call taker did and it's (link-reveal: "strangely comforting")[(show: ?comforting)].]

You wake up groggy in a clean, white room laying on a bed. You try to lift yourselt into an upright position, but find moving your stiff muscles difficult.
"Hey, hey. Don't try to move too much." you hear a woman say to your right. You turn to face her, wincing at the tightness in your neck. There sits a pretty, young woman. Her dark skin contrasts with the room like a beautiful beacon - an oasis amidst a sea of dust.

A bit later, you get ready to remove your dish from the oven, praying as you do so. You take it out and... And... Hey, that actually looks like a semi-decent casserole!
You plate the dish and add a bit of garnish for class, then carry it over to Robert. You arrive at the dinner table and set down his meal.
