Rize's Selfish Secret

'Where am I?" Rudy wondered.

He felt someone's presence around him, so he activated his see-through ability and saw Rize enter the room.

"Rize?" he called out to her.

"Rudy?!" Rize rushed to the bed and moved the curtains.

"What's going on? What is this place, and why am I here?"

"It's a school infirmary."

"Oh, no wonder it felt familiar…" he muttered.

"You passed out!"

"What?"

"I told you not to force yourself too much. You gave your all in the race to win. It's because I asked you to participate. It's all my fault!"

"Wait, wait, wait, wait. What do you mean I passed out? I fell to the ground?"

"No, but you weren't opening your eyes or responding to my voice."

'What's going on? Did I fall asleep again? But I only closed my eyes for a few seconds,' Rudy uttered inwardly.

"How long was I out?"

"Like… five minutes? I went to get a juice can for you for some energy, but the vending machine is yet to be refilled."

SIGH!
