## Relationships

### Jasper Balt

Upon visiting the hospital in July of 2020 in order to finally have his Raka’s disease seen to, Jasper is met with nurse Cara who helps tend to his wounds. The two hit it off incredibly well, and Jasper admittedly begins finding excuses to visit the hospital more in an excuse to see her, unintentionally minimising his fear of the clinic over time. Likewise unbeknownst to him, Cara herself begins taking up any task requiring her to go to the labs, in hopes to find Jasper working there with Karma, usually getting some freak experiment done on him to of course maximise the chance of a hospital visit. The pair get along incredibly well though despite growing close over the years still continue to tip-toe on the edge of a relationship, with neither being brave enough to confess out of fear for ruining their friendship. Though with urging from Tommy and the others, change may soon be in the air for the pair of them in the upcoming year.

### Monarch France

Following the Orizon attack of November 20th 2018, Monarch finds himself unable to handle the extent of island injuries coming in, and ends up running out of the surgery during a failing operation, to which the patient, Lily, then soon died. Cara blamed Monarch for the death of her child, and took to training to be a surgeon in hopes to get back at the doctor and replace him, swearing to be a more reliable caregiver than he was. Though after working alongside Monarch in 2020, Cara finds herself understanding his situation as she hadn’t before, and assures him her forgiveness, excited now to work alongside him instead. Monarch now prays one day Cara will be trained enough to replace him for good.
