The Next Day:

Wellston Infirmary-

-------------------------------------

John's eyes fluttered as he rose from the bed which he lay in. Taking a moment to realize where he was, he recognized the familiar white room.

"Here again..." He muttered under his breath.

He heard footsteps coming from the other end of the curtain which separated his bed from the rest of the room.

The bluish sheet retracted, revealing Seraphina.

Her eyes widened as she rushed to John, hugging him tightly.

Caught by this, John knew his only action should be to return the gesture.

After their embrace, John had a question he was desperate to ask.

"Did we win?" He asked, anxiously.

Seraphina smiled.

"Yes," she answered.

For the first time in a long time, John did something which Seraphina never expected.

He smiled, genuinely.

*Click*

A camera clicking sound could be heard through the window of the door to the infirmary.

Immediately after yelling followed.

"ISEN!" Blyke slapped his head.

"WHAT!" He defended himself. "WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME HE SMILED?!"

"Probably when I did," Arlo chimed in.

Laughter could be heard from Remi and Elaine following this.

Then, the rest of the group joined in, even Arlo and John.

When it died down, John spoke up.

"Thank you, everyone..." He began. "I am grateful for everything."

To which everyone nodded their heads.

"So are we," replied Seraphina.

"Good thing I gave you a second chance, John!" Isen chuckled.

"Good thing I gave you your last chance!" Replied John, causing everyone to laugh.

Except for Isen, of course.

-------------------------------------

End.

-------------------------------------

That is the end of the second part to the two-part story!

It has been about a years worth of time and I feel as though this is a good point to end.

Thank you to all who stuck with the story to the end!
