"Alita?"
"I am not Alita, I am Akira."
Akira turned towards the doctor, trying to explain any confusion.
"Oh, come on Alita. Do not play with me now. What dirty trick you and Jaby have played with us? He cut us all off after you..."
Suddenly his words took a pause inside his mouth as he saw Alita's hand intertwined with that of a stranger.
"I think you have a misunderstanding. I am here as a friend. I think you are confusing me with his wife. She has indeed passed away a couple of years ago. Even just now when Jaby opened his eyes, he confused me as Alita. I am Akira, Akira Peyton."
"She is just a friend Leonard."
Suddenly a faint voice was heard, cutting through the conversation.
"Wait Jaby. Don't get up."
Saying that Leonard rushed to his side and helped to adjust the pillow properly.
"How do you feel?"
"Mighty fine I must say."
"Don't act all tough in front of me ok?"
