Michelle finished eating her breakfast, getting up to put everything away on the kitchen sink.

"Are you all done, sweetie?" her mother snuck up behind her, startling Michelle to the point where she nearly dropped the empty bowl she had on her hands.

"¡Mamá! No me asustes así..."

Her mother giggled, grabbing the bowl from Michelle before shooing her away. 

"Okay, okay, I'll see you later." Michelle planted a quick kiss on her mother's forehead before heading down to her office to grab what she would need for her next home visit. She had on a simple grey blouse and a black pair of pants, and she slipped on her white coat before reaching for her stethoscope. 

[I]Another one claimed by that damn virus...[/I] Michelle thought to herself, reaching inside her medicine cabinet after unlocking it and frowning when she was reminded she only had a few doses of antiviral medication. She reached for the small container and quickly put it inside her pocket, grabbing some more additional supplies which she would put inside her brown messenger bag. After she locked the cabinet and slipped the key inside her bag, she headed towards the front door. "I'm out now, see you guys later!" Michelle called out to her parents, hearing them mumbling something in response from the adjacent room as she closed the front door behind her.

Her walk to Ms. Chiara's house was the same old routine as every other day. She waved at some residents, turned down the request of one of them for her to do an on-the-spot consultation, and kept her brisk pace to her destination which she eventually reached without any issues. 

"Mr. Carnot, are you home?" she knocked lightly on the front door, waiting for a response.
