Who says you can't change everything with your dreams?

25 chapter

- Quickly! Prepare the operating room! Critical case! - shouted one of the doctors, who carried the unconscious and cold body of Dmitri.

Mikey and Izana were running beside Red's couch, with everyone else behind them.

- What was the patient's condition?

- Three gunshot wounds: two to the chest and one to the liver, so it's possible the bullet hit the liver. Also, the guy had been brought in earlier with a cardiac arrest from a blow to the head.

- Not good," one of the nurses checked his pulse.

- Quickly! His pulse is dropping, we could lose him!

- Young people, you can't go any further! - said one of the doctors, stopping the two teenagers.

Izana and Mikey stopped and watched as the couch with Red pulled into the operating room.

- Please wait, we'll do what we can," the doctor said as he ran into the operating room, the doors closed behind him and the light bulb went on.

The guys who ran behind him stayed in the waiting room outside the operating room.

- He's going to be okay, I believe that... I hope he lives," Mikey said through the tears he tried to hide from everyone.

- Me too," said Izana.

***

It had been about three hours since the operation began. All those three hours were tense for the people who were waiting for the doctor to come out of the operating room and tell them what was wrong with their friend.

No one had uttered a word since the operation had begun. Only the sobs and footsteps of doctors could be heard echoing through the hospital.

The tension could be felt in the operating room, even through the closed door.

***

A few hours later, the light above the operating room door went out and a doctor came out wearing a wrinkled robe, and the collar on his back was wet with sweat. The doctor pulled down his mask and wiped his forehead.

The doctor looked at the crowd gathered in the corridor.

- Which one of you is related to the young man? - the doctor asked.

Takemichi was about to say, "We are his friends," but Shinichiro interrupted him.

- I am his brother, what is wrong with him?

- The operation was difficult. The patient's condition is stable now, but...

- But?

- He lost too much blood, and we also found a large contusion near his temple, he has a concussion. He's in a coma right now and may have memory loss. We don't know exactly when the patient will wake up, we just have to wait," said the doctor and looked sadly at the children.

-Few days later-

It's been a few days since the operation.

Dmitri never woke up. He is still in a coma, hooked up to an oxygen mask and life-support wires, drips with medical equipment that monitors the patient's condition. His condition remains stable. Almost every day his friends visited him and told him how the day went, hoping that Dima would wake up.

Izana and Mikey came most often; they could sit next to Red for hours, ignoring the nurses who were constantly trying to kick them out.

-March 8, 2006-

- I'm sorry for calling. But I want to talk to you, will you listen to me? What have you been doing all this time since you came from the future? - Mikey asked, looking at Takemichi, they were in the Musashi Shrine where the meetings were held.
