The feed switches from Thunder Knuckles' tongue-lashing of Robert Main to the Vale's medical wing. Dr. Holly Cambric sits prim and proper in her office chair, one leg draped over the over, hands clasped and resting upon her knee. 

"Mr. Main, do not let Mr. Knuckles' harsh words dissuade you from completing your story. Allow me to introduce myself. I'm Dr. Holly Cambric. My credentials include over 5,000 hours in surgical theaters in Florida's busiest hospitals, and I am now one-half of the XWF Tag Team Champions with Ms. Emilia Glazkov. I'm a representative of the Black Rainbow. Now that we've gotten that out of the way..." 

She steeples her fingers and offers a measured nod toward the camera, toward Robert Main. 

"Allow me to help you complete your story, Mr. Main. You're a most unique specimen. The perfect test subject. Not many in XWF can claim they were the longest reigning of this or that, yet you have several of those claims. Fascinating, Mr. Main. Simply fascinating. You have more accolades than Ms. Dyson has venereal diseases. That's a lot, sir. Nearly an innumerable amount. I heard you even died, went to hell, then came back. Not figuratively, but literally. Fascinating. I simply must work with you." 

The 'good' doctor politely holds a hand up to shush any protest coming from Mr. Omega Man while he watches this. 

"Allow me to elaborate. When you wake up every morning, how long does it take for your legs to work enough for you to stand up straight after getting out of bed? Five minutes? Ten? An hour? How many hours does it take for the residual pain to dissipate after getting out of bed? Do you have a weekly pill organizer box that helps you keep track of which meds to take each day and at what time? Perhaps you haven't reached that point yet, but you know it's coming, don't you? How often do you get headaches? Not the usual ones, I'm talking about the ones that ripple across the back of your head like phantom chair shots. How long does it take to work feeling back into your fingers after waking up? These are important questions because I can make all those aches and pains go away." 

Once more, she lets her hands relax on her lap. 

"These must be resolved before you embark on this journey to complete your story. Having support and love from your wife and children will not suffice, Mr. Main. Those things are about as useless as thoughts and prayers. You're in luck, though, because I'm here. I'm the one all the kings horses and all the kings men called when they couldn't put Humpy Dumpty back together again. I can erase the wrinkles on your forehead. I can fill your bones with vigor once more, no more snap, crackle, and pop while simply getting out of bed. I can make your resting heart rate sub-forty BPM, no more palpitations for you. I can keep the dream demons away, fill your REM state with all the things that make you happy." 

She leans forward in her chair, and for the first time during this scene, she blinks. 

"All it will require of you is...." 

She pauses a beat. 

"A Leap of Faith."

She nods once.

"Trust me, Mr. Main. I'm a doctor."  

End.
