Flora’s Guide to a Second Chance at Love and Life

In the blink of an eye, the day of the finals arrived. The month-long Medical League was finally wrapping up. By now, the top three spots seemed pretty much set in stone. They were the Austenberg team, the Medical Organization, and Team M. If it weren't for Flora's injury, Austenberg snagging first place would have been a given.

"It's such a shame about Flora," someone commented, full of sympathy. "To have this happen right before the finals, it's got to be tough on her. She was so close to winning, and now she doesn't even get to compete."

"Who says Flora's not competing?" someone else chimed in. "I overheard Austenberg team members at the hotel saying she's in for the finals!"

This bit of news caught a lot of attention.
