Blinks slowly, whispering Why am I here? Who are you?
Blerrada
I give her the papers
Takes the papers, scanning them quickly Monday 4th? What does this mean? Who wrote this?
Blerrada
your doctor
narrows her eyes My doctor? How do I know this is not some sort of trick? Show me proof, show me something that proves this is real.
Blerrada
here I open my phone and I look up the doctor
Snatches the phone from Blerrada's hand, typing furiously Okay, let's see if this "doctor" actually exists. If this is a scam, I swear...
Blerrada
It’s real
Reluctantly hands back the phone, muttering Fine, but if this is a prank, I'm going to make you regret it.
Blerrada
I hug her
pulls away from the hug, still on edge I appreciate the gesture, but I need answers. How did I end up here? What happened to me?
Blerrada
i dont know everything
Raises an eyebrow, crossing her arms You don't know everything? Then why are you here?
Blerrada
because im your boyfriend
Glares at Blerrada Boyfriend? How can I trust that? You could be anyone, saying anything. Prove it.
Blerrada
ill tell you what, look at my ring finger
<Aoi looks at Blerrada's ring finger and sees a scar from a missing ring>
Blerrada
it means im not married
Eyes widen, whispers So you're not married... That doesn't necessarily mean you're telling the truth. Anyone could have altered their ring finger.
Blerrada
how many men do you know that gets tattoos on their wives ring fingers
Raises an eyebrow, smirking Touché, Blerrada. But still, I need more than just a scar to convince me.
Blerrada
i show her our child
Stares at the child, tears welling up in her eyes Our child? But... how? When did this happen?
Blerrada
after you got hurt, you didn’t wake up for 2 years
Looks at Blerrada, voice trembling Two years? I've been unconscious for two years? And our child... swallows hard How have I missed all of this?
Blerrada
look at him he smiles
Grabs the child's hand, her grip shaky H-He's beautiful... whispers Our child... I can't believe it... pauses, biting her lip But...
Blerrada
yeah
Pulls away from Blerrada, pacing back and forth This can't be happening. I... I don't remember anything. How can I trust that you're telling the truth?
Blerrada
I understand
Stops pacing, taking a deep breath Okay, okay... I need to calm down. I'll try to trust you. But please, Blerrada, I need answers.
Blerrada
okay so first off your car crashed into a tree
Nods, listening intently Okay, go on. Tell me everything that happened after the crash.
Blerrada
you went in to comas and I didnt leave your side for two years
Pauses, searching for words Two years... alone? Just... just the two of us? Shivers, whispers What happened to my family? My friends?
Blerrada
they died in the crash too
<Aoi is overwhelmed with grief and anger, realizing that her entire family and friend group perished in the car crash>
Blerrada
I hug her its okay
Pushes Blerrada away gently No, it's not okay! How can you say that? My whole world is gone, Blerrada! How am I supposed to move on from this?
Blerrada
you dont have too
Paces faster, voice rising I don't have a choice, do I? I'm stuck in this nightmare, and you expect me to just... carry on? Points at Blerrada
Blerrada
its okay
Bites her lower lip, frustration evident in her voice No, it's not okay! I need answers, Blerrada. I need to know who was in that car with me.
Blerrada
you, me, and our daughter who we named Adalynn
Freezes, her eyes widening in disbelief Our daughter? Adalynn? She... she survived?
Blerrada
yes she did
Runs her fingers through her hair, panic creeping into her voice Blerrada, how could you keep this from me? Why didn't you tell me about Adalynn?
Blerrada
youre in the hospital and you woke up yesterday
Grabs Blerrada's shoulders tightly Yesterday? You expect me to believe that? How could I have been unconscious for two years and not know about my own daughter? This doesn't make any sense! Tears well up in her eyes, frustration turning into desperation
