Hospital... visit... intentional...
She heard everything in a daze, struggling to listen more carefully, but she failed and fell back into a deep sleep.
She had a dream.
She dreamed she was back in the apartment building, but couldn't find anyone inside.
She couldn't find the Ruanlin Family, Shu Jiao, or even the silly wolf.
Turning, she ran to the old house and at the entrance, she heard laughter and joyful voices inside; her heart lifted, she hastened to push the door open and look inside, only to find it empty.
The laughter and cheerful voices had disappeared; the aunts and uncles weren't there, her brothers were gone too.
There was no one!
There was no one anywhere!
It was as if she was the only person in the whole world.
Scared to death, she ran frantically, screaming... until she woke again, the day already bright, with the Ruanlin Family and Shu Jiao not by her side.
