I quickly stood up and found the hospital.
When I saw her test report.

but because she was so sick to eat.

She came back, not because she knew the
town was going to build a playground.
This truth was like a needle, fiercely
piercing into my heart.

would all of this be different?
I was wrong,
to an extreme.
