No one's POV:

Dr. Huang looked into Alfredo's eyes which are begging to accept to see Rebecca. Dr. Huang took a step forward.

"Are You sure?" He asked.

Alfredo nodded.

"Yes, one last time," Alfredo answered and said, Dr. Huang looked at the children.

"You guys wanna see Rebecca too?" Dr. Huang asked, the children immediately nodded Their heads, and Dr. Huang let out a sigh.

"Alright, I'll be right back, and then, We can see Her," Dr. Huang said, the children nodded, Dr. Huang gave Luna back Her toy, and commanded Mr. Snickerdoodle to stay, and then, He walked out of the room.

"Hey Livvy," Dr. Huang called out. Olivia turned around and looked at Dr. Huang.

"Yeah, George?" Olivia asked, and Dr. Huang walked over.

"Alfredo asked if He can see Rebecca," Dr. Huang said.

"I don't know if that is a good idea, the children will be traumatized once They see Her," Olivia explained but Dr. Huang wasn't going to take "no" for an answer.

"Please Liv, at least the children can see Their sister one last time before They go to Rebecca's funeral," Dr. Huang begged. Olivia stayed quiet for a moment to think about it.

"Get the children ready, I'll go and start the car," Olivia said, and She walked away as Dr. Huang went back to the room, and talked to the children about They were leaving.

"You sure this is a good idea because it brings tears to My eyes every time I see Rebecca," Melinda explained.

"The children really want to see Rebecca one last time," Olivia said.

"But I am pretty sure that there is gonna be a funeral, right?" Melinda asked worryingly.

"Yes but it won't be long, almost all of these children had never been to a funeral, so at least We can do is to give the children's Their wishes, They have been through enough," Dr. Huang explained.

Melinda stayed quiet as She thought about it.

"Give Me a few minutes please," Melinda said, and Olivia softly smiled.

"Thanks Linda," Olivia thanked, and Melinda left.

And just like that, Olivia and Dr. Huang walked back over to the children to alert Them, Alfredo looked at Them.

"You'll see Rebecca in a few minutes," Olivia said, Alfredo nodded His head, but Dr. Huang can tell that something was bothering the 12 year old.

"What's wrong?" Dr. Huang asked.

"I keep wondering why can't We live in a world where no one gets hurt or killed, why can't We live in peace, isn't living in peace worth it?" Alfredo asked.

Olivia and Dr. Huang stayed quiet, They didn't know how to answer Alfredo's question, and the 12 year old is right, why can't We live in a world where others can't be killed or get hurt, along with being safe.

"We honestly don't know how to answer that question, but that is why NYCP, firefighters, doctors and many more exist, at least We can do is to try to make Our country and world, a little bit better," Dr. Huang explained.
