"Mom! Somethings wrong with Claire!"

"What's going on? - She rubbed her hands against her apron."

"Well, Claire put on the headset to play Atlas and she just collapsed on the floor."

"What? Let me see that."

They entered the living room where Claire's lifeless body laid on the floor. She was still breathing but no response was being given out. Claire's mom shook her and when no signs of presence was given, she removed the helmet. You could only see the white of her eyes.

"Mallory, go get dad and tell him to call nine one one!"

"Is she going to be, okay?"

"Just go get dad!"

You could feel the panic in her voice as she tried to hide her trembling from her youngest daughter.

"You're going to be okay sweetie... You're going to be okay..." She petted her Claire's hair in a reassuring way, hoping it would help her cope with the situation as well.
