As the day goes by, Cali bids farewell to her sister as her son is looking for her.

CALI: Kiara, it's getting late, and my son is already looking for me. I hope you don't mind.


KIARA: Oh, of course. Thank you for the visit, and tell my nephew I said hi,


CALI: I will! I love you, Kiara. I'll pray for your fast recovery and a lung transplant soon!


KIARA: I hope so too!


Xia accompanied Cali to the exit, and Kiara, left alone in her room, decided to go out and get some fresh air. She took her stick (because she's not allowed to be near people), her book, notebook, and pen with her to the lounge area downstairs.


She arrived in the lounge area and sat on one of the couches. While she was reading, she felt like someone was behind her. She checked and saw a man reading the book from behind her.


???: Nice book. Where'd you get that?


KIARA: Oh no, Mr.!


Kiara stood up quickly and distanced herself from the man.



???: Why, what's the problem?


KIARA: Sir, I have CF—Cystic Fibrosis—and I am not allowed to be near people!


As Kiara mentioned about her diseases, the man, then realizes that he had the same diseases as Kiara and started to shout in panic.

???: Oh shoot! I forgot I have that too!


KIARA: Um, don't overthink it. You weren't behind me that long, right?


???: No no no, I just arrived and wanted to get some fresh air, so I came down here.


KIARA: Same here. So, you're also a patient here?


???: Yeah, obviously. I didn't know we have the same condition, and I also have a heart problem, which is why I'm here.


KIARA: Oh, I see. I'm Kiara, Kiara Alexandria.


KYLO: I'm Jacques Kylo, but you can just call me Kylo.
