IT WAS 3 IN THE MORNING when Ana and her roommates were woken up by the sound of their door opening. 

Ana felt a jolt and opened her eyes. 

She quickly sat up and looked at the door fearing the worst.

"Ana, it's me." said Alex.

Ana saw Alex walk inside the room with his roommates Eli and Rob. 

Ana immediately stood up and ran and hugged Alex. 

Ana's roommates all looked at them surprised.

"How did you get here?" asked Ana.

"It's a long story. Come on, let's go get Yumi." said Alex.

Ana noticed Ennio and Victor standing outside in the hallway. 

Then Alex and Ana went to Yumi's door and opened it. 

Yumi and Nina woke up startled and looked up from where they were laying down.

"Yumi, look who's here." said Ana.

Yumi sat up and saw that Alex was standing next her. 

Yumi sprang to her feet and hugged both Alex and Ana. 

Rob, who was standing behind Alex, looked inside the room and saw Nina standing up.

"Excuse me." said Rob nudging Alex out of the way.

Rob went inside the room toward Nina.

"Rob!" said Nina surprised to see him.

Nina then went into Rob's arms and hugged him. 

Yumi looked over at Rob and Nina hugging and smiled. 

Alex grabbed the door and held it open saying—

—"All right, let's go."

"We'll be right there." said Rob still holding Nina.

Then Alex, Ana and Yumi went toward Ana's room leaving Rob and Nina alone. 

After they left, Rob leaned in and whispered something in Nina's ear. 

Nina smiled at Rob and then they walked back to Ana's room. 

They entered the room and closed the door. 

Alex, Ana, Yumi, Irina, Maja, Nina, Lauren, Eli, Rob, Ennio, and Victor were all in the room. Eli went and hugged Lauren. 

Maja went and hugged Nina.

AFTER ALEX EXPLAINED TO ANA EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENED, Alex introduced Ennio and his brother Victor to Ana. 

Victor shook Ana's hand and said that it was an honor to meet her and Alex. 

Victor told them that he was sorry to hear what happened to their parents and that they were heroes for selling people guns to defend themselves.
