Chapter 5
Tadashi knocked on the door to the hospital room. He was carrying Baymax's red cartridge in his arms, determined to help his brother.
"Let me in." He demanded.
"Visiting hours are over," came the cold reply.
Tadashi tightened his grip on the cartridge, his hands trembling slightly. "Please," he said through gritted teeth. "I'm his brother."
"That doesn't matter to me..." A bitter laugh sounded throughout the room, a laugh that was inexplicably familiar.
"I need to see him." Tadashi pleaded, sorrow evident in his voice. "He's getting unplugged today, and I can't..." he sucked in a shaky breath. "I can't just leave him."
He felt tears trickle down his cheeks, destroying the calm image that he had tried so hard to retain. He could have sworn he heard a snicker from the other side of the door. "It's too late now."
"Too late?" Tadashi repeated the words in disbelief. "You can't do this. Please, just LET ME IN!" His voice rose in a crescendo of panic, as he pounded on the door, hoping desperately that it would open.
The laugh that followed was almost too cold to be human. "Hm. My condolences," the person said. "But my decision is final."
Tadashi leaned onto the wall, tears blurring his vision. He didn't want to accept the truth. But deep inside, he knew it. The hospital door wasn't going to open again... he had lost his brother forever.
Beep.
Beep.
Beep.
He listened the faint beeping of the machines. Each sound choked him more than the last. He couldn't breathe, couldn't think.
Beep.
Beep.
There was the faint click of a plug.
Then there was only silence.
Someday, I will write decent length chapters.
That day is not today.
More to come soon~
