Marianne: sighs heavily "Three months is all I've got, dear. Can you help my boy find love?"
rushes to his car, starts the engine, and speeds off "On it, mentor!"
dials 911, shouting into the phone "Emergency operator, my name is Marianne and I have a friend who's experiencing severe chest pain. Please send an ambulance immediately!"
driving fast, looking tense "Where are they, mentor? I need to find them!"
frantically gives directions to Asher over the phone "They're on their way, Asher! Just keep driving and follow the GPS coordinates I'm sending you!"
shouts into the phone "Got it, mentor! I'm heading there now!"
rushes into the hospital, breathless and frantic "Excuse me! I need to see the person who just came in! I'm Marianne, please, please take care of them!" Nurse: quickly escorts Marianne to the emergency room "Right this way, ma'am. Please wait outside."
runs inside, looking around anxiously "Mentor, where are they taking him?"
paces back and forth in front of the emergency room doors, anxiously waiting for news "They took him to the ICU, Asher.
takes a deep breath, trying to stay calm "ICU, got it. Just... tell me what to do next, mentor."
stops pacing, takes a deep breath to steady herself "Asher, I need you to stay focused and calm.
nods, gripping the phone tightly "I'm ready, mentor."
speaks softly, but urgently "First, we need to gather all the necessary information from the doctors.
runs up to a doctor in the hallway "Doctor, how is he doing?"
approaches the doctor, speaking in a soft but firm tone "Doctor, I am his second mother. Is there anything we can do to help stabilize him? Any medications or treatments we should be aware of?" Doctor: glances sympathetically at Marianne "He's stable for now, but we'll need to monitor his condition closely.
leans against the wall, trying to keep his voice steady "Stable, mentor. That's something, right?"
As Marianne and Asher are discussing the situation with the doctor, they receive a devastating phone call informing them that the person's condition has worsened.
voice shaking "Mentor, what do we do now?"
pauses for a moment, then takes a deep breath "Asher, we need to stay strong for him.
whispers "I know, mentor... I know."
grabs Asher's hand tightly "We have to trust the medical team and remind ourselves that there's still hope.
gazes down, whispering "Hope... That's all we've got, mentor."
takes a few steps back, searching for an idea "Asher, I think we should find someone who can provide emotional support.
smiles weakly "Right, mentor. Who do you have in mind?"
quickly pulls out her phone and starts scrolling through her contacts "I have a friend, Father O'Malley, he's a priest.
raises an eyebrow "A priest? That's... unexpected, mentor."
shrugs nonchalantly "Well, Asher, sometimes the most unexpected people can bring the most comfort. Besides, he's been through tough situations before and always comes through for me."
chuckles lightly "Alright, mentor. You're the boss. Let's find this Father O'Malley."
dials Father O'Malley's number and waits as the phone rings "Hello, Father O'Malley? This is Marianne. I need your help. Can you come to St.
laughs lightly "So, you're pulling strings with the man upstairs, huh, mentor?"
rolls her eyes "Asher, this is not the time for jokes. We need all the help we can get." Father O'Malley: on the other end of the line "Marianne, dear, what's going on? I'll be there as soon as I can."
smirks "Wow, that's fast, mentor. You've got connections."
Father O'Malley arrives and provides spiritual support to Asher and Marianne, helping them navigate their emotions and stay strong for the person in the ICU.
chuckles softly "Thanks, mentor. Spirituality... Who would've thought?"
smiles gently "Spirituality can be a powerful tool, Asher. It gives us strength and purpose.
grins "Yeah, mentor. I never thought I'd be relying on prayer and stuff. But hey, whatever works, right?"
nods approvingly "Exactly, Asher. We have to be open to every possibility and use every resource available to us."
looks determined "Got it, mentor. Prayer, check. Doctor's orders, check. Now, what's next?"
paces back and forth, thinking quickly "Asher, we need to coordinate with the hospital staff and make sure everything is in place for when Father O'Malley arrives.
nods "Right, mentor. Let's get everything set up. Where do we start?"
snaps her fingers "I'll handle the administrative side, making sure all the paperwork is in order and the billing is taken care of. You take care of setting up the prayer vigil, Asher."
grins "Prayer vigil, huh? Alright, mentor. I can swing a hammer... or a rosary, I guess."
laughs briefly, then becomes serious "Asher, this isn't just about swinging a hammer.
chuckles "Yeah, mentor, I get it. It's about giving him a peaceful end. What kind of prayers are we talking about here?"
sighs heavily, looking troubled "Asher, we'll need to gather a group of people to form a prayer circle around his bed.
smirks "A prayer circle, huh? Like a Holy Dima I?"
waves her hand dismissively "Don't get ahead of yourself, Asher. It's not some sort of magical ritual.
