"He's still sleeping, but he should wake up soon." The nurse explained. James' parents thanked the nurse quietly and walked into the room when she left. There he lay, a needle embedded in his arm as he slept peacefully. He really did seem better and they hoped this was the last time he would ever be here. "I'm just glad he's okay." His mother said softly as she lay the rosary on his chest and smiled. They both sat down on a couch in front of a large window that overlooked the scenery outside, it was covered though with thick curtains to keep the light out in order to let James sleep. The two watched over him in silence, the only noise was the rhythmic beeping of the monitor.

The nurse noticed Asumi's grandmother as she approached her and wondered if something was wrong. "May I help you?" she asked kindly.
