He remembered how peacefull she was laying there, in the hospital-bed. Her dark purple hair... a big part of it was shaved off on the back of her head, where the tumor had been... Now, it was covered by a bandage, the remaining loose hairs flowing over the white pillow. Her pale, soft skin was now filled with all colors and sizes of bruises.
