"d-d-d-don't k-k-k-know." she said, but it just made Burt feel bad.

"Hallå (hey) Sarah, why does your voice sound like... that." Sven pointed out, Sarah is a bit odd. and he doesn't think all black children sound like that.

"m-m-m-my v-v-v-v-voice s-s-shakes w-w-way t-t-too m-m-m-much w-w-while b-b-being a-a-alive." she answered.

Sven kind of didn't understood, but still managed to get the message.

Burt walked over to Sven and sat next to him.

he rested his head on Sven's shoulder.

Sven carefully took off Burt's headset and placed them on the boat's floor.

Demo raised an eyebrow, still not getting anything.

"hey, where do you think this boat is taking us?" Demo said to the girl.

Sarah messed with her black hair before pointed ahead.

Demo looked at where she was pointing and her eyes widened.

"holy.. is that?" her words were lost as the boat was going forward to a abandoned hospital.

is everything abandoned here?!

once the boat hit land, Sarah got off first.

"vart fan tog den förbannade båten oss? (where the fuck did this cursed boat take us?)" Sven asked getting off.

Burt got his headset and put it on, not wanting to leave it there.

"a hospital?" Burt tilted his head in confusion

Sarah nodded.

"a-a-at t-t-the e-e-end o-o-of t-t-he h-h-hospital i-i-i-is t-t-the w-w-way o-o-out o-o-of t-t-this a-a-abandoned a-a-area" she said.

Demo understood, but not trusting it.

but still.. she have to.

it might be true

once the four wen inside, the encounter this dimly lit hallway.

a hallway to different rooms.

"oh shit.." Sven whispered.

they had to follow Sarah

she knew better.

they followed her to the end of the hallway and she opened the door to show to the outside

to the exit of this abandoned site

"wow, that was... quick." Burt laughed.

Sarah nodded and turned around to face them.

"y-y-you'll b-b-be a-a-able t-t-to g-g-get b-b-back o-o-on t-t-track." she said, pointing at the path to the woods.

Burt pulled out a herb from a bag and gave it to Sarah.

"eat it. it'll be helpful" Burt told her.

she ate it.

"how do you feel?" Sven asked her.

"j-just fine." Sarah answered.

wait..

"you sound.. a little normal" Demo said, making Sarah looked shocked.

"i-i-i am?" she asked, earning a nodded from the three.

black tears started forming in the edges of her eyes.

she walked to Burt and hugged him.

"t-t-thank you.. you are very helpful" she said to him, smiling a little smile.

"you welcome." Burt said, he patted her head.

she let go of the hug.

"w-w-well you three should be going." she told as she pointed forward.

Demo nodded and went in front of them.

"thanks alot kid." she said, and she signaled Burt and Sven to follow them.

Burt waved goodbye at Sarah, and once he was done, it was Sven's turn

but he stopped.

he looked at Sarah straight in those black eyes. he could see a spark of light in them

'you know what, fuck it' he thought

without hesitation, he pick her up, carrying her.

it caught Sarah by surprise.

and he started walking.

Burt looked back and laughed.

"Sven, what are you doing with Sarah?" Burt asked.

"taking her with us. i'll cry if i have to leave her behind" he answered, looking at Sarah.

he liked her.

Burt nodded and continued walking forward.

Demo looked back to see Sven carrying Sarah like if she was a toddler.

Demo hold her laughter and scoffed instead.

Burt rolled his eyes playfully at Demo's reaction.

sweet.
