Beep. Beep…. Beep. Beep….
The lines on the electrocardiogram made certain diagram like grasses.
'Flay Allster' was what written on the nametag attached above her left chest. The red haired nurse wrote some report on her notes.
Cagalli Athha.
"You are beautiful, aren't you?" she said to no one when she finished writing on her notes.
Cagalli was sleeping soundly; trapped in her own world. There were many cables on her to observe her condition. The doctors in the hospital had no idea what causing her to falling into the comatose condition. Since that time, she didn't wake up even once.
Flay was the first one to see her condition. She looked so pale in the arms of a foreigner. The man only said that he found her on a puddle of water unconsciously. After that, she was directly sent to ICU. However, after some hours, she's moved to ICCU.
Honestly speaking, Flay thought that what happened to Cagalli was something weird. There were two dots on her neck when the first time she saw the blonde girl. However, when the doctors examined her, there was no dots. Only two lines blood. People would think that Flay was crazy, but she believed in the existence of vampire. And this Cagalli in front of her was probably a victim of such dangerous creature.
She sighed. "Uh, you got 'hello's from people from Himawari Kindergarten," she pulled some letters and put them on the table near her, "and these are the letters from them."
This afternoon.
"Flay! Hey!"
Flay turned her head to meet Sai's face, her coworker. "Hi, Sai. What's up?"
Sai smiled, "there is someone who wants to meet you."
"Who?"
As if in a cue, a young girl with ponytails appeared and stopped besides us. She was short and had the face of a child. However, seen from the body she obtained and her attire, she was sure that the girl was someone older than she seemed.
"Miss Hawke, this is Flay Alster. She takes care of Miss Athha."
"Hello. May I help you on something?"
The girl gave a wary smile, "I'm Meyrin Hawke. I'm befriending Cagalli in Himawari kindergarten."
"Oh, Miss Cagalli Athha's friend…."
Meyrin smiled a bit more then handed out some white envelopes out of her bag. "These are some letters from the people from Himawari, especially the children's. Well, since we can't visit her, I think we could ask your help."
"Ah, I see. People haven't gotten the permission to visit her until she is stable. You want me to give these to her, right?"
Meyrin blushed,"yes. And if you have more time, would you like to read some of them? I heard that people in comatose get better faster when people read them some letters or stories."
Flay nodded and took the envelopes from Meyrin's hand, "sure. Then, I need to go back to work."
"Thanks, Miss Flay. I owe you much!"
"Nevermind," Flay said quickly; putting the envelopes in her nurse attire's pocket then walking away fast.
Flashback ends.
"Well, I've promised. I'll read some of them."
Flay took one from the stack and opened it gracefully. She read the content of it slowly.
[From : Aornaa.
To : Miss Cagali.
Miss Cagali, we misses you so much. Wen will you come back? Get well soon!]
Flay chuckled. There was two rabbits in the corner of the letter. One had initial A while the bigger one had initial C. Presumably, they were Aornaa the Rabbit and Cagalli the Rabbit. She found the kid's writing is kind of funny; but well, it was a kid's writing. What do you expect?
Flay opened and read another three letters.
She smiled warmly while looking at Cagalli's face, "see? You have so many people missing you. Why don't you just wake up from your slumber? I'm sure that someone special out there was waiting for you."
Unbeknown to her, behind the closed door of Cagalli's room, a man was standing with stoic face; listening to everything happened in the room. A red glow was seen through the article he wore.
Beep. Beep…. Beep. Beep…. The electrodiagram kept beep-ing.
The man whispered, "why it's like this?" he gripped the red glow through his top hard. After that, he disappeared; right before Flay walked out of the room.
"It's cold tonight," Flay said while shivering.

Kira stood not too far from the hospital where Cagalli was treated. A phone was on her right ear. He talked through the phone in whispers.
"He is here."
The other person from the other line answered, "I know. I saw him go there."
"Why didn't you do something?"
"Kira. You, of all people shall know that I'm neutral."
Kira went to complete silence. Yes, he indeed knew and understood about that. The person whom he called was supposed to be a neutral party. The help he got was actually something-not-to-get; the information shouldn't be given to him. There was certainly some kind of punishment if this fact arrived to The Council.
"Yes. I understand that. I know you even endanger your own self by doing this."
His words met the silence from the other line, then he added, "we … only able to say thank you."
"I know the truth. You know the truth. I couldn't just stay still."

Shiho sat down beside Nicol. Both of them were playing the grand piano together. Some beautiful melody echoed through the big house. 'Santa Lucia' waved through the house; piercing the silent night. Just outside the house, starry night looked so beautiful with the moon's bright shine. Yzak sat in the corner of the room. He was serene while looking at Shiho, his lovely wife. The sound of the piano really made him at ease. Furthermore, it was his wife who played the song.
In the library, Athrun sat while staring at the red stone on his palms. He heard the piano sound, but he felt nothing. It's like he died.
He smiled.
"Maybe, it's really our destiny. I couldn't decide what to do," he whispered, "Mom, what should I do?" he added while staring at a face of a beautiful woman in mid-forties in the picture frame on his table.
Behind the closed door, a blonde haired male stopped his intention to come inside the room. The captain seemed wanting to be left alone. He walked away from the door. Athrun knew he was there, but he did nothing to call him to come into the room. For the time being, he didn't want to be bothered by anyone.
000
"Hey, Dearka. Where have you been?" Shiho asked the blonde when he came into the room that was occupied by Nicol, Shiho, and Yzak.
Dearka grinned, "you miss me, uh? Don't be. Look at Yzak. He has already becoming red!"
"Hey! I'm not red!"
Shiho chuckled, "yes, you are."
"No."
"Yes."
"No."
"Yes."
"No."
"Yzak…" warning voice was given by Shiho, "I won't continue if I were you."
That shut him up. Dearka grinned wider while walking to sit beside Nicol who had already moved on to the sofa. The green haired male smiled and enjoyed the scene in front of him.
After Dearka sat down, Nicol inquired, "where is Athrun? I haven't seen him for a while, now."
Yzak sniggered, "che. He probably is sulking in the library. It's almost the end of our time here. Yet, nothing has appeared. It's the council's fault to choose him as our captain."
"Hahaha," Dearka laughed hard, "don't be so cold, Yzak. Two years are more than enough."
"It's been three years and we have zero. What can be done in two years?"
Shiho sighed, "you are so pessimistic."
"I'm sure we will be able to find something, Yzak. Athrun is a great captain," Nicol added.
From the library, Athrun's hearing range has reached where the other occupants were. He heard everything. What should he do?
He gripped the red stone harder before whispered his mind, "you are right, Dearka. It's indeed needed to be away from ZAFT, The Boss, The Council, and our kinds."

Beep. Beep…. Beep. Beep….
Kira stared at his Cagalli warmly from the corner of the room. He smiled and walked little by little to her. After he reached the edge of her bed, he held her hand and stroke it gently, "Cags. Hello."
Beep. Beep…. Beep. Beep….
"It's only been four years. How can this happen to you?"
Beep. Beep…. Beep. Beep….
There was no other sound except for the beep-ing sound of the machine. Kira sighed, "wake up soon."
Kira let go of her hand then walked out of the room. It was near the time when sun shone. He looked behind for the last time when he reached the door. After that, he opened the door. With a single glance to her form, he went.
If only he stayed a bit longer, he'd seen the way her fingers flinched.
Four years ago.
"Kira, must I really do this?" Cagalli asked while staring at her brother.
Kira smiled, "we have talked about this, Cags."
Cagalli looked at someone behind him, the pink haired princess Lacus. She smiled warmly to her; encouraging that everything would be fine.
"But, I don't wanna forget any of you."
Lacus walked to where Cagalli laid. She held both of Cagalli's hands; stroking them in the process. With gentle voice, she sang a lullaby and leading the blonde girl to sleep. Before everything turned black, she heard whispers.
"… meet again and start everything again. Please wait."
"We … all of us love you. Be safe."
Everything's black.
Flashback ends.
Beep. Beep…. Beep. Beep…. Beep. Beep…. Beep. Beep….
Suddenly, the electrodiagram beep-ing loudly and repeatedly; inviting the attention of the nurse out in the corridor in front of her room. The black haired nurse hurriedly ran towards the receptionist table for any help. Two nurses panicked. One of them joined the black haired nurse to the room where Cagalli occupied. While the other one, the blonde nurse, called for the doctor.
"Doctor Durandal, please come fast! It's Miss Athha!" she said through the phone in alarmed way.
