There is this kind of tremendous pain a person feels when something that they love so much has been snatched away from them. It could be the death of a pet, the loss of a favorite toy, it could even be the death of a plant you have loved and taken care of for years. Knowing that you would never be able to get it back or replace it drives the pain deeper than you would ever expect. That was how Axel felt when he held Hannah close and cried.
He knew that he was supposed to take her to where she would get treated but for some reason, he couldn't move. He felt dead inside out. Maybe this was the feeling of not being able to accept that the one you hold dear would suddenly disappear.
The pain in his heart slowly reduced when he saw the color drain out of Hannah's face and lips and when he felt the coolness of her skin. He was dumb enough to think that it was from the rain and cold air.
