Groggily, I sit up and rub my forehead. My head aches, but I wonder why? My confusion heightens as I look around the room. I'm in a sort of hospital bed in a small room. I don't recognize the room, and I'm not sure why I'm here. I look down at myself and see that I'm wearing a hospital dress, but I do not remember putting it on. This increases my confusion and my unease at the situation.

As I sit in the bed and try to unravel these mysteries, a door to the right of me opens. Maka, Liz, Soul, and Kid walk through the door. Their faces are painted with worry as they gaze at me. This only confuses me more, and I wait for them to speak first.

"Man, you really know how to scare people, huh? Totally not cool," Soul says with a slight smirk.

"(Y/n) you really had us worried!" Maka exclaimed. "When I heard from Liz that you passed out, I got so worried!" Her green eyes are wide and concerned.

"Yea (Y/n), are you okay?" Kid asks. "You scared me there." His face is stoic, but I can see the concern lying deep inside his eyes.

I look back into my mind to try to remember what had happened before, but it's all a blur. I look at them all with a loss of words, and hope that they will explain further. My parched lips part slightly in a silent plead to clear my confusion.

Luckily, Liz steps in and elaborates on the apparent accident that had happened. "I mean, damn (Y/n)! If you weren't feeling good, you could have told us! We didn't have to play golf. I would've been fine to go home. I wasn't exactly happy to see Kid run over with you in his arms passed out."

Golf? Passed out? Kid was holding me? Suddenly my mind clears and I remember the night before more clearly. Oh yea, at the mall...

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to worry you," I grimace at the thought of making them worry. I hope I wasn't too much trouble...

"Ha! You did a great job at that!" Soul exclaims with a toothy grin.

"At least you're okay, that's all that matters," Maka stated with a small smile.

I smile too, but then my eyebrows come together in a knot of concentration. A question comes to mind, and I ask before fully thinking about it. "How long was I out for?"

Kid answers this time, his voice small and quick. "One week."

My eyes widen and my eyebrows shoot up in shock. One week??? Why did I even pass out?

"Oh." My face goes blank. Suddenly, another vision flashes through my mind. A vision of my dream, and of the words that Irama and Kid himself said in them. My mouth goes into a flat line and my heart is hit with a pang of self doubt and self hatred. No one cares about me.

"I'd better get some sleep. I'll see you guys soon," I say in an almost monotone voice. They murmur their goodbyes with smiles or worried eyes and head out of the room.

Silently, I turn over in the infirmary bed and stare at the blank wall. Even the soft sheets, fluffy pillows, and the coolness of the mattress beneath me cannot calm my nerves and rapid moving thoughts. I don't dare think about my other dreams as I drift away into the dark uneasy pool of drowsiness and and dark hall of my dreams.
