Yawn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sean made a noise as he slowly awakened, feeling groggy and disoriented. He looked around the room, trying to piece together his surroundings. His gaze fell to his hand, and he noticed a drip attached to it. Confusion gave way to realization as he comprehended that he was in a hospital bed. A sudden surge of pain coursed through his body, a consequence of the excessive strain he had put on his still-recovering form. Wincing, he couldn't help but exclaim, "Ouch, it hurts!"
The pain triggered memories of the mission he had undertaken, where he was ambushed and knocked out by a formidable monster. Self-blame weighed heavily on his heart, feeling responsible for the safety of his two friends, Susan and Peter. He berated himself for his perceived weakness, despite believing he was growing stronger. Yet, when it mattered most, he couldn't protect those he cared about.
The urgency to find his friends, Susan and Peter, gripped Sean, and he attempted to sit up despite the discomfort caused by the drip. Just then, a female figure walked into the hospital room. Sean recognized her voice before he saw her face – it was Sarah, the guardian and maternal figure he had admired since his father's passing. He tried to look up at her, but before he could manage, the sound of running footsteps interrupted the moment.
Sarah rushed towards Sean, embracing him tightly, relieved that he had finally awakened from the coma that had lasted for a week. Tears streamed down her cheeks, mirroring Sean's own emotional state. She had warned him to be careful, and now seeing him awake and in pain brought forth a mix of emotions.
Through his tears, Sean apologized to Sarah for his perceived weakness and incompetence, unable to protect their friends from harm. Sarah gently comforted him, placing her hands on his head and soothingly running her fingers through his hair, reassuring him that he had done his best.
Inquiring about the well-being of Susan and Peter, Sean was relieved to hear that they were okay and currently receiving treatment in their respective hospital rooms. However, when he asked about Agent Rex, Sarah's tears flowed freely. She broke the heart-wrenching news that Agent Rex had sacrificed himself to keep the monster occupied in a warehouse, allowing the others to escape before the building exploded.
The weight of this revelation crushed Sean, and he couldn't help but cry out in grief and self-reproach. He blamed himself for not being strong enough to prevent Agent Rex's death. As he mourned, Sarah remained by his side, offering solace and understanding.
Once Sean managed to compose himself, he resolved to visit Susan and Peter in their hospital rooms. However, Sarah stopped him, emphasizing the importance of his own recovery before he could take care of others. She assured him that he would have the chance to visit them once he was stronger.
Before leaving, Sarah turned back to look at Sean, reiterating that the events were not his fault. He needed to let go of the burden of guilt and embrace the journey of healing and self-improvement. With those words, she left the hospital room, leaving Sean to wrestle with his emotions and resolve to become stronger.
In the days that followed, Sean remained in the hospital, undergoing physical and emotional rehabilitation. He had time to reflect on his past actions and the importance of training to become more capable of protecting those he cared about. The memory of Agent Rex's sacrifice served as a constant reminder of the dangers they faced and the need for strength and determination.
During his recovery, Sarah visited Sean frequently, encouraging him and offering words of wisdom. She shared stories of her own struggles and how she had learned to cope with loss and grow stronger as a result. Her unwavering support became a beacon of hope for Sean.
Finally, the day arrived when Sean was well enough to visit his friends. True to her promise, Sarah took him to the hospital cafeteria, where he would be reunited with Susan and Peter. As Sean laid eyes on them, tears welled up in his eyes. He rushed towards them, eager to embrace his companions. A smile formed on Sarah's face as she observed the heartfelt reunion.
However, as Sean tightly hugged both Susan and Peter, they winced in pain and exclaimed, "Ouch, it hurts! We're still recovering." Despite their pleas, Sean continued hugging them tightly, oblivious to their discomfort. The two friends, lacking the strength to shake him off, exchanged glances and burst into laughter. Susan playfully remarked that Sean seemed overjoyed to see them and asked him to let go gently, as they were still healing.
Feeling guilty for causing them discomfort, Sean quickly released his grip. Susan and Peter let out a sigh of relief, teasingly remarking that they thought he would never let go. Sean apologized, explaining that he had been overwhelmed with happiness to see them again. The three friends shared a hearty laugh, cherishing the precious moment of reunion.
After Sarah left the room, Sean, Susan, and Peter spent hours catching up with each other. They laughed, shared stories, and basked in the comfort of one another's company. But eventually, Sean broached the delicate subject of Agent Rex's death. The atmosphere grew somber as the weight of the loss settled on their hearts.
Susan, being the one who was conscious when Agent Rex had passed, shared the details with Peter and Sean. She could see that both of them blamed themselves for the tragedy that if only they were both stronger ,Agent rex wouldnt have to die. Breaking the silence, Susan revealed Agent Rex's final request, one he had entrusted to her before his passing. She wanted to wait until they were fully recovered to share it, but she realized that they needed to hear it now.
Agent Rex had smiled and expressed his unwavering faith in the three of them. He believed they had the potential to become exceptional agents. He entrusted them with his legacy, motivating them to become strong and skilled in their field.
Upon hearing Agent Rex's final words, something shifted within Peter and Sean. They wiped away their tears, their resolve strengthened by his belief in them. Peter knew that crying would be a disservice to Agent Rex's faith in their abilities. With determination, he declared that they should become stronger to prevent anyone else from suffering a similar fate.
Inspired by Peter's words, Sean clenched his fist and raised it high. He shouted with conviction, "We will become stronger than everyone else!" Susan joined in, extending her own fist and echoing Sean's sentiment. Peter, too, joined the pact, affirming that they would work together to become stronger and prevent anyone from dying.
This day marked the beginning of their shared promise to become stronger, not just for themselves but to honor Agent Rex's memory. They pledged to grow and learn from each other, supporting one another through the trials that lay ahead.
