Someone very dear to me refuses to wake up.

Days went by, Dana’s world reduced to the hospital room, she turned off her phone cutting all her contacts to the outside world. She stopped talking to everyone other than Ben. Shadow would come everyday at noon to clean Ben. She would assist happily getting everything ready but wouldn’t say anything. Shadow didn’t say anything either.

Scar tried to talk a few times, only to have hit a dead wall. The last time Dana spoke to him was the third day after Ben’s accident when she asked him to watch over Ben while she went to get herself a change of clothes. Scar agreed even though he had Shadow screaming in his ears to refuse. He would cope the punishment for disobedience later.

Days passed into weeks and soon Dana’s 2 weeks holiday was up. Dana turned on her phone and called Tael.

“Hello” Tael’s amiable voice came from the other side.

“Hi Director, it’s Dana.” Dana’s voice was hoarse.
