She didn't reply, only skated past on a quest for Jorick. She came across him in the living room. After calling the hospital, they headed outside. The flower-scented night felt bleak.

"I don't know. If there's no change, what's the point? With the curfew, we've got five minutes to get there, get in, visit, and get out. Unless you can teleport, that's impossible."

"I can make them let us in," Jorick assured her.

"I know, but-" She'd feel worse staring at her for hours, not better. Unconscious, her mother wouldn't care one way or the other.
