*Sorry, midterms

Hana sighs and walks toward Kamar Taj as Guita links her arms with her friend's. "Hey, okay ka lang?"

"Yeah," Hana nodded, "you remember the first time we went here?"

"She thought you were," Guita sighs.

Hana chuckles, "my mom. But you know, she was the one who told me I could be something."

"You were her favorite student." Guita stoically said.

Tina taps their shoulders, "I was her favorite."

Wong stood by the door, "You were, but it was always Hana."

Hana gives Wong a small smile as she bows to the sorcerer supreme.

Strange was talking to America Chavez, the recruit of Kamar Taj. "Hana, how are you doing?" Strange asked.

"Well, and yourself?" Hana raised an eyebrow.

"Good. I've been," Strange paused, "good."

"It's her loss," Hana sighs, "not yours."

Strange nodded; he understood Hana was only trying to make him feel better about the whole Christine thing.

As the memorial commences, Wong announces, "Now, a few words from the Ancient One's favorite student..." Strange stood up, but Wong looked at Hana, "Dr. Hana Minoru-George!"

Hana looks up and stands behind the podium, sighs, and begins, "I may not be a medical doctor, but I did marry one. Heart disease is the leading cause of death, so when the people were determining the cause of death, they put down heartbreak."

Guita turned pale and fainted; Hana immediately ran to her friend's side, "Guita?! Guita!" Hana tried to wake her up, "Sampaguita Janet Torres Minoli." Hana panicked, "Stephen!"

"I got her." Strange picks up Guita's limped body and takes it to the clinic.

Hana and the Minorus followed him with Wong. Hana asked, "What happened? Why did she faint?"

Strange looked at Wong, "No!"

Wong sighed, "But it's Hana..."

"I'm aware," Strange looks at Guita, "Minoru isn't the patient; Minoli is, and we need to respect that."

"This doesn't involve her medical history," Wong reminded, "Hana, we'll just have to help her draw the conclusion."

Strange sighs, "Fine."

Hana, growing impatient, demanded, "What?!"

"A week after your return," Wong explains, "I was by the Motel down the street, and I saw her with that Adam fellow..."

"Okay, hold on. Hold on. Let me get this straight," Hana shook her head, "Guita and Adam were in a sleazy motel together? Is she pregnant?"
