Opening my eyes, I am overwhelmed by noises surrounding me. Beeping, muttering, crying and ringing phones. I can see somebody leaning over me, it is my mother. "She's awake! Thank god! She's awake." I sigh, oh how I wish I wasn't. I can see a nurse enter the room, or is it a doctor? I'm not quite sure. They speak to me, "Hello Riku, how are you feeling now?" I simply respond with "The same as I felt before." There are bandages around my legs and arms, I realize what has happened. I had survived, why had I survived? I shouldn't be here.

They told me I shouldn't, they told me to leave this world, I listened and they just lied to me and now I'm here. Suffering with the guilt I will now hold for the integrity of my so-called life.

"Where's Kuro?" I ask. "Oh Riku... I'm sorry Kuro died a few weeks ago, you were there. Do you not remember" My mother says. "No, no I don't." I see my mother look into the corridor, I do not wish to refer to her as my mother. Mrs Yuka (my mother) came back to the room with a doctor, he looked at me "Hello miss Yuka, you can leave the hospital when you wish......" I don't finish hearing what he says, there is a bird at my window.

It's free and has no worries, how I long to be like that. I watch the bird fly off. I get up from my bed and head to the window. "What are you doing?" Questions Mrs Yuka, "Watching the trees" They were blossoming, they looked beautiful, i want to be outside, I want to be under those trees.
