What Goes Around Comes Around

The Cure

Tina looks around the room and says, "I have leukemia."

"What?" Nico walks to her mom, "Why didn't you say anything?" turning to her older sisters, "You knew?!"

Tina grabs Nico's hand, "It's not their fault. I made them swear not to tell you."

"Why?!" Nico kneels.

Tina embraces Nico, "I didn't want you to be hurt." Tina looks at Robert, shakes his head, and runs out, "Robert!"

Hana runs after her father, "Dad!" Finding him sitting on the sandy beach, Hana sits beside him, "Dad, listen, mom didn't know how to tell you. She wanted to be with you but was frightened by how you'd react." Noticing Robert not listening to her, Hana sighs, "Fine, sulk but just know mom loves you, and we- Amy and I- found out if we hadn't, she wouldn't have said shit." Hana leaves.

A few hours later, Tina was hysterically sobbing; she grabbed the vile and was about to flush it down the drain when Robert called her name. "Tina." Tina turns to her husband's face; Robert walks closer to Tina, "It will take time for me to forgive you for keeping this, but I could never forgive you for throwing the thing that would save my love's life, the mother of my children, the woman who stood by me after making the same mistake twice." Robert takes the vile away from Tina, "If you throw this, you might as well get a dagger and plunge it into my heart." He runs his fingers in Tina's hair, "Cause without you, I have nothing to live for."

Tina nods, "I love you too." And grabs the vile back before drinking the liquid in it.

"Even cheesier than that?" Nico asked.

"At least," Hana points out, "that work. Rento's didn't."

"Cause he said it to you," Guita sighs, "but if he said it to someone else, it could work."

Amy runs towards them, "I wrote a spell. That could potentially bring back." Amy hands Hana a scrap of paper.

Hana reads it, "Oh, someone's been learning Latin."

"So," Amy asked, "what do you think?"

"This is actually," Hana looks at Amy, "really good. Remind me to thank Wong, later."

"But," Guita looks at the paper, "this spell is going to require more than one sorcerer to recite."

"Um..." Hana looks at Guita, "one," starts counting, "two..."

Guita shook her head, "Gotcha, but the spell is in Latin, and the only people who speak Latin are Amy, you, and I."

Hana clicks her tongue, "Not a problem."

"Maybe, if everyone else is a quick study," Guita argued, "but they're not you."

Hana smiles, "Yeah, but they are my family."

"Wait! You're not thinking-" Guita shocked, "Hana!"
