Hayden's pov:

"Hey! You!"

I feel a strong hit on the head that makes me wake up

"No sleeping at work!"

An ATP soldat, he hit me with the back of his gun

"What's this you have here?"

He points at Derreil as I look at them, I quickly stand up and take off his hands from Derreil

"It's a friend of mine, i'm helping him to be alive again"

"Again? You're reviving someone?"

"Yes, could you please leave my office?"

"Huh.. what's with that disrespect?"

He hits me again

"Respect your superiors"

He then leaves, what a disturbing soldat...

"Jeez..."

I look around to see if something is missing, nothing really, I then remember what Axar told me yesterday

'There is somethings that are better to forget'

How can I forget? About that... This is when I realize I can't forget a trauma, it does not make sense. I feel stupid for thinking about it; I hear a knock on the door and go open it

"H-h-hey H-Hayden d-do you know A-Axar's room number from the medical center?.."

"Yeah.. 789, 4th floor"

"Th-thanks.."

"No problem.."

Edgar's pov:

Now I knew I could visit him! I go to the medical center pretty excited to see him. It was a long way I walked, after asking if I could enter his room, they allowed me to go in

"H-hey Axar!"

"Edgar?.."

He had tears in his eyes, I opened for a hug

"No- you can't hug me yet.."

"Aw.. w-well... How a-are you feeling?"

"Right now I... feel very bad, I want to cry until i'm dry of tears"

His eyes seemed tired, it already seems that he has cried

"I-i'm very s-s-sorry about everything.."

"Don't be, feel lucky for you, that bad feeling saved your life.."

I stood silent, he broke the silence with his cries

"Please... I don't want another birthday, i want to die before that.."

"H-hey.. don't say th-that"

"At this point I... I prefer not to have survived"

It worried me how much he could swear those words

"Calm down... I-I know y-you can get o-over this"

I gently place my hand in his shoulder, going closer with him

"I hate this so much... I just want it to end..."

It made me feel terrible hearing him cry, I was close to dropping tears, but just in case.. I did not want it to happen

"You c-can do i-it"

"Maybe I will after if get out of this hospital.."

He started to calm down

"Come on t-t-take a deep bre-breath.."
