One Year Later

Neban was unconscious for a day before he opened his eyes. He felt something heavy on his chest as he looked around the room; there was even something soft under him. 

The room's whiteness was the first thing that hit his eyes before he took in the people. His parents rested in chairs on his left side while Wey, Isona, and Owain rested on the right. Neban glanced down, moving his stiff head as he saw that Theo was lying on his chest. 

His son looked like he spent the night crying again. 

He took in the smell of sanitation as he realized that he was in a hospital. Neban pushed himself in a sitting position, ignoring how stiff his body was. 

Theo slipped down a bit, moving in his sleep as Neban resting his hand on his head. 

'Siren?' Neban called. 

'I am angry with you, but at least you did not die,' Siren answered before saying, 'I do not feel like talking to you.'
