Where's my son?
Mr. Hamilton, come in, they brought him in a half an hour ago
He lost a lot of blood on the way over (stay alive) is he alive?
Yes, but you have to understand
The bullet entered just above his pip and lodged in his right arm
Can I see him please?
I'm doing everything I can, but the wound was already infected when he arrived
He won't make it, everyone who didn't know Philip's outcome thought sadly.
Philip
Pa!
I did exactly as you sad, Pa
I held my head up high
I know, I know, shh (high)
I know, I know, shh
Lilli noticed how her mother and father's faces, how they were quite grief-stricken, before quickly nudging Philip slightly and gesturing to the duo. Philip's eyes widened before he got up, Angie's eyes widening as he started to walk away to their parents before she, too, noticed the grief-stricken look on their parents faces. Philip sat between his parents, pulling his mother close to him as he leaned into his father who wrapped his arms around the two of them.
I know you did everything just right
Even before we got to ten (shh)
I was aiming for the sky (I know, I know, shh)
I was aiming for the sky (I know, I know, shh)
I know, save your strength and stay alive! (No)
Esper!
Is he breathing? Is he going to survive this? (Stay alive)
Alex felt his heart break when he heard a stifled sob emit from his wife.
Who did this, Alexander, do you know?
Mom, I'm so sorry for forgetting what you taught me
Another sob emitted from Esper as she clutched onto her little boy. Jefferson and Madison glanced at each other, tears stinging their eyes. Clearly she hasn't recovered from either of their deaths, they thought. Philip held onto his mother tightly, never wanting to let go as the song continued.
My son
We played piano (I taught you piano)
you would put your hands on mine
You changed the melody every time
I would always change the line
Shh, I know, I know
I would always change the line
I know, I know
Un-deux-trois-quatre-cinq-six-sept-huit-neuf (un-deux-trois)
Good
Un- deux-trois-quatre-cinq-six-sept-huit-neuf (un-deux-trois)
Sept-huit-neuf
Sept-huit
On screen Esper screamed, Philip's eyes widening at the raw emotion in the actress's voice. "Quick side note," Aspen said, wiping tears from her cheeks. "The actress you are seeing on screen is, in fact, Esperanza. She becomes an actress in her original time when she is sent back and that is who you are seeing."
Philip clutched his sobbing mother tighter, whispering apology after apology and after apology. Aspen decided to give them a fifteen-minute break to calm down as much as possible.
