Present time not a flashback
Mai POV
"Goodbye Mai I'll see you again." Joey stated hugging me as the dream started to end.
"Mai. MAI. MAI!"
"Wah I'm up Ayako! What is i..." I started.
"John?" I asked seeing the boy I've come to see as my brother laughing at my little outburst.
"You're awake?"
"Yes Mai I'm awake!" John said cheer fully with a big grin.
"He's awake, but he's a little high from the medicine Mai." Ayako whispered in my ear.
"I can tell." I giggled.
I think the saddest people always try their hardest to make people happy because they know what it's like to feel absolutely worthless and they don't want anyone else to feel like that.
That's what John does.
