IF YOU'D LIKE, I CAN WALK YOU TO THE PARKING LOT--

HEY! WHERE ARE YOU?

DON'T TELL ME YOU...

AH, I'M LOST.

STILL, HE SHOULD BE FINE, RIGHT?

LOOKED LIKE HIS MANAGER WAS ON HIS WAY.

Assuming he doesn't wander off...

HE'S GONNA BE VISITING THE MUSIC DEPARTMENT A LOT NOW.

IS HE SERIOUSLY GOING TO MANAGE ON HIS OWN?

I REALLY HOPE I DON'T HAVE TO BABYSIT HIM...

The Bandage Must've Fallen Off.

EVEN THOUGH IT'S SUCH A TINY SCRAPE.

IT MUST BE TOUGH FOR HIM...
