Days passed and Laval didn't awake. Laval's father was starting to worry: "When will he wake up, doctor?" "He will awake when he is ready." was the answer he always received. Eris visited him nearly every day, but to no avail. Cragger visited as often as he could, but he usually was busy with his parents. When Eris visited she was traumatized by what she saw. Sometimes Laval would whisper something unintelligible. Doctors said he was delirious. At the end of the third week, Laval's condition seemed to improve. Doctors finally scanned him and noticed that besides his condition his legs were broken. Eris was just starting to loosen up when Laval's condition grew worse again. Cragger didn't even hear about Laval's improvement, it lasted that long. When Cragger dropped by, but nothing changed. He waited for a while, and fell asleep.

Cragger lay asleep when he heard a voice. "Your friend Laval is dying, and you just sleep here. Ready to make a difference?" asked a strange voice. Cragger looked around and found Eris beside him, looking just as bewildered.
