When Hungary had recovered, Italy put up a table that he placed in front of Germany's bed, and a chair for himself. Germany was able to sit up in bed, even though he was very sick, the other two could see the fever shine in his face, but he insisted on doing it.
Italy poured three cups of tea while Germany laboriously got up from the bed. Hungary just sat and stared straight ahead without saying a word until Italy had finished. Then she took a sip of her tea, which she actually thought was really good, and it helped her to calm down too actually. She looked towards Germany.
"Do you think there's any hope of saving Austria if he has been deported?" Hungary asked, surprised that she had even gathered enough strenght to ask the question. Her first thoughts after the matter has been addressed was that it would of course be too late already when she came to his house and found the spider web but now she really hoped that Germany would just change the subject. He did not, but the answer was not as hopeless as Hungary had thought, so she began to listen eagerly.
"It depends on where he had been sent" he explained, "Some of those camps are for the ... pardon way I have to put this... but for those who can work... until they drop." Germany sighed heavily before he continued. "Then there is the other type of camp where they get off the train and straight into the gas chamber" Germany looked at Hungary before he finished "... so yes, there is hope, but not much hope."
"Isn't there anything you can do about it!" Hungary shouted then and she stared wildly at Germany. Germany only sighed.
"If there was anything I could do I would have done it long ago. You know as well as I do that it is the people's faith in you that makes you strong as a country, and strong enough to do anything at all." Hungary now saw that Germany was very weak, he might even be about to disappear. "You have no idea what the Nazis do with people's morals and faith, and it will kill me, I know it, and now I just hope that I have not taken Austria with me"
Germany finished and looked out the window. Hungary couldn't think of anything else to say. Not Italy either.
"Italy, can you fetch a map?" Germany suddenly asked. Italy went over to a desk that stood next to a window and got the map, which he then rolled out in front of Germany and Hungary. Germany looked at Hungary.
"You are a skilled politician Hungary, why don't you take a look at these maps and see if you can find some of that hope that you're looking for? Forgive me but I need to rest now. But let me know if you find something, you can believe it if you want but I need something to hope for as well"
Italy and Hungary helped Germany back to bed and Italy spread a blanket over him, then he followed Hungary to the desktop to, if possible, help her with the map.
