Domoni: stands up and paces back and forth, fists clenched I can't believe she's gone.
Domoni: pauses, then nods Yeah... I could use a hug right now.
Domoni: deepens the hug, burying his face in RocketSnoopy's shoulder Thank you, RocketSnoopy. Just... hold me tight.
Domoni: takes a deep breath She... she was sick for a long time. It was... it was really hard to watch her suffer. But she fought so hard, until the very end.
Domoni: rests his head on RocketSnoopy's shoulder It's okay, RocketSnoopy. Grief is... a bitch, you know?
do you need anything else?
Domoni: looks up at RocketSnoopy with teary eyes No, RocketSnoopy, I think I just need to be alone with my thoughts right now.
takes a deep breath Domoni: Thank you, RocketSnoopy, for being here for me. Your support means everything to me.
he hears a phone ring, it’s his phone
Domoni: quickly pulls away from the hug I-I'm sorry, RocketSnoopy, but I have to take this call. It's someone important.

Domoni: eyes widen What?! No... this can't be happening...

RocketSnoopy arrives at the hospital to find Domoni waiting anxiously outside the emergency room
Domoni: breathlessly She's... she's in there, RocketSnoopy. They're... they're doing everything they can, but she's not looking good.
Domoni: paces back and forth, wringing his hands I can't lose her, RocketSnoopy. I can't. We have to pray.
Domoni: interrupts, voice trembling I can't just sit here and wait! I need to see her, RocketSnoopy. I need to be with her.
isn’t it better if we wait?
Domoni: frustratedly runs his fingers through his hair I don't care, RocketSnoopy! I just need to see her, even if it's the last thing I do.
then let me talk to the nurse
Domoni: nods quickly Yes, yes, talk to the nurse. Please, RocketSnoopy, hurry!
