3.30 pm, St. Francis Hospital
Chrno looked at Miss Kate, who was talking absentmindedly to her daughter,who was barely concious and who was looking at her mom with a curious look on her face.
Kate noticed that both Chrno and Rosette were looking at her with disbelieving faces.
"Oh! HAHAHA!Sorry.I sort of got carried away...Chrno...would you like to talk to Rosette now?I'm sure you do.Oh well.I'll leave you two alone now."
She stood up,smiled at both Chrno and her daughter,and left the hospital room.
Chrno sighed and walked over to Rosette,sitting in the chair that Kate had just left.
"Hi,Rosette.You feeling any better?"
Rosette nodded and managed a weak smile."Sorry I scared you like that...how come my mom knows your name?I only heard from her that she arrived fifteen minutes ago.How come you know her already?"
Chrno smiled and said:"That's because,she was my teacher when I was a student at Pandemonium High."
Rosette practically shrieked.(vWell,almost.You can't expect a person who has just recovered
from a relapse to shriek,can you? But it is ROSETTE,after all. She can do almost ANYTHING.
Other than tell Chrno her feelings,but that is another story.)
"YOU KNOW MY MOM?"
Chrno sighed and tried desperately to calm her down and to stop her from hyperventilating.
This was going to be a hard one to explain...
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Kate walked out, smiling a little when she heard the shout that came from Rosette's room.
She knew that it would have been hard to explain to Rosette about how she used to teach
Chrno,so she had left hastily,knowing that Chrno would simply HAVE to explain it,in
detail,nonetheless,to a flustered and anxious Rosette,who would simply be DYING for questions.
She smiled again and walked over to Joshua and Azmaria, who were currently engaged in a heated conversation on how often Rosette should be skating.

Azmaria noticed Miss Kate walking towards the both of them. She smiled and stood up and offered her seat to her, but Miss Kate simply shook her head and smiled at her.
Turning to Joshua, her smile turned into a playful grin.
" See, Joshua? I'm glad you have such a polite girlfriend, she makes up for your lack of manners."
Joshua blushed and began to protest, flustered." M-Mom! Don't be so mean! You're insulting Azmaria!"
Turning to Azmaria, he asked her." Azmaria, she's insulting you, right?" He winked at her,but she,being as dense as she usually is, simple smiled and missed Joshua's wink.
" Oh no, its more of a compliment instead."
Joshua sighed, exasperated, while Kate, being as mental as she usually was, simply laughed at her son's idiocracy.
( Note: Kate seems evil, making Chrno explain everything and laughing at her son, but she isn't supposed to be. She's only supposed to be a carefree and jovial mom who does not take heavy matters seriously. Unless it counts as her children's welfare, of course. :P )
Azmaria suddenly remembered something and turned to Miss Kate ( In case you're wondering, Azmaria,
being as polite as she usually is, refers to Kate as 'Miss Kate' so in the parts when the story is
focusing on Azmaria, Kate will be mentioned as Miss Kate. Thank you for understanding and I apologize
for any confusion before this note.) and said :" Miss Kate, did you know that the doctor just now
reminded me of someone? But I couldn't picture who..."
Kate merely smiled sadly and said:" I know, he does remind me of someone too...he reminds me of...of..."
She burst into tears and sat down, holding her head in her hands.
Joshua was shocked and confused and yet he tried desperately to calm her down and asked her what the problem was.
She sobbed and managed to speak after a few minutes.
" I-I'm sorry...i-it's just that...he r-reminded me so much o-of your father..."
Joshua felt tears sting his eyes and he hugged his mom's shoulders and said:" I miss him too Mom,but we all know that he's never coming back..."
He looked up and Azmaria, and in his shock, saw that she was crying too.
" I-I'm sorry...Miss Kate, I-I'm so sorry...I reminded you of him...I am such a horrible person...I-I'm so insensitive...I'm so s-sorry..."
Kate stopped crying, but her cheeks were still wet with tears when she stood up and hugged the sobbing girl.
"Shhh...It wasn't your fault..."She soothed."He's gone and he's never coming back anyway...we'll remember him forever, won't we?"
Suddenly,they heard footsteps as someone came round the hallway's corner and to their relief,it was the doctor who had treated Rosette just now.
He had an undescribable look on his face and he opened his mouth but nothing came out. He sighed, walked in front of the shocked trio, and took of his glasses.
They gasped.
It was Ewan.
And he was back.
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Me: Ooh...cliffie right there...
