"C'mon Kari, we're on the ground floor."
I open my eyes. The rush of the emergency wing is thrown right at us as we step out of the elevator. I can see doctors and nurses trying to make their ways quickly through crowds to get to needy patients, families rushing in to find out information about their loved ones, and Death- he is here again. Sora and I make our way into the crowd. My stomach begins to feel queasy as the noises swirl around me. I hold my stomach as it begins to twist. The sounds contort… I can hear Tai screaming… where is he? He's trembling… he's scared… I can see him… he's running… he's holding Matt… the hospital… it's all coming back… I can't see where I am… Tai… Sora…
"Kari? Are you ok? Can you hear me?"
Yes…"Kari! Wake up!"
I open my eyes. Sora's face swims into view. I blink.
"Oh good," she sighs, "You're back." I look around, confused. The many people rushing here and there reminds me that we're still in the emergency wing.
"Yeh, we're still in the hospital," Sora answers, reading my face. "I turned around and you weren't there. I found you sitting on the floor, so I brought you over here and tried to wake you. And here you are!" Sora smiles. "Are you ready to go?" I don't answer. I continue to look around, reading all the notices on the walls. My eyes fall upon the entrance to a room- a room that makes my heart go cold. It was the room Matt was in last night when he… when he… Sora follows my gaze, and sighs sadly. A doctor exits the room, and closes the door. I read the nameplate. I gasp.
'Ishida Yamato'
I get up and run to the door. I read the nameplate again. 'Ishida Yamato'. Why would they put his name on a door if he's dead? Unless… I slowly turn the doorhandle, and push open the door.
It was Matt.
He's lying on the bed, many wires connecting him to different machines. Rhythmical beeping echoes around the small room. I can't believe it… Sora arrives next to me, and gasps. I shakily begin to walk forward; mixed emotions spinning dangerously fast in my head. I reach his bed, and slowly extend a trembling hand to touch his cheek. It's warm. A cold sensation washes over me, and I fall to my knees. Sora rushes to me.
"He's… he's… alive…" I mutter to myself. I feel Sora's arms wrap around my shoulders. I turn to her. The cold feeling disappears. A light feeling spreads throughout my body. Sora smiles.
"He's alive!" I exclaim, as I throw my arms around Sora, and cry into her top.
"He's alive… he's alive," I repeat, crying even more.
He's alive…~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`
