Prologue : Miracle Child
The hospital's emergency room was in total chaos as nurses ran about, rushing to follow the harsh orders barked out by the doctors. A young brunette women sat in an uncomfortable-looking hospital chair, her normally cheerfully smiling face was devoid and empty, tears silently steaming down her pale face as she prayed for her loved one.
Meanwhile, the doctors were baffled as the petite three-year-old boy with gravity-defying chocolate-brown lay dying on the operating table. They had run every test possible but were still unable to find the cause of the boy's incoming death. The young child's body was slowly shutting down, his organs beginning to cease functioning one by one.
To the various doctors' despair, they found themselves without a possible cause and cure to save the child, they could only watch helplessly as the tiny brunet slowly slipped away. Their sole comfort was the fact that he was unlikely to fell any pain as the boy had gone into a coma not long after he was admitted to the hospital.
-Beep-Beep-Beep-Beep-
The beeping of the machine that indicated the heartbeat-rate of the patient became weaker, the pauses in between beeps longer before the dreaded prolonged sound of unmistakable death rang.
The nurses bursted into tears, the doctors bowed their heads in morbid respect for the dead and dying. There was a brief debate, who in their right mind would willingly want to inform a young mother that her baby boy had just died? Teary eyes gazed sadly at the small body that will never be able to grow into adulthood. The doctors turned their backs before...
-Beep-
An impossible sound. He was dead!
...was he?
They listened carefully. Why? For the past 9 minutes, the boy was unmistakenly dead! DEAD!
The heart was beating, slowly and weak, bring a glimmer of hope as the doctors and nurses worked to keep that fragile heart beating.
That day, Sawada Nana was told hat her son was medically dead for 9 minutes and returned to life.
That day, Sawada Tsunayoshi became known as the Miracle Child.
