Start part A

BEEP!!!

BEEP!!!

BEEP!!!

Zack slowly opens his eyes.

???: He's waking up!

Zack: Ka... Katie?

Katie: Yeah It's me! You're finally awake!

Zack: Hm...? But where's Akiko and those girls...?

Katie: Who?

...

Zack: Never mind... Where am I...?

Katie: In the hospital... You've been asleep for a year!

Zack: A year...?

Katie: That's right... You missed your twentieth birthday!

Zack: Oh... Okay...? Where's Mom? What about Dad?

...

Zack: Oi, what happened?

A few minutes later...

Zack: Geez, you made it seem like they died!

Katie: My bad.

Zack: So they're just on a trip?

Katie: Yep. They should be back tomorrow or something like that.

Zack: Well, that's good...

Katie: So what was it like to be in a coma?

...

Zack: Horrible... Let's leave it at that...

Katie: Okay...? Anyway, I can't wait for you to come back home!

Zack: Yeah... I can't wait either...

Katie: Oh! You've got a letter from mom and dad. I almost forgot...

Zack: I do?

Katie: Yep, here.

Katie holds an envelope out towards Zack. He opens the envelope and sees a picture of his parents with a big smile on both of their faces.

"We love you! -Mom and Dad"

Start part B

Zack stares at the picture.

"Do you... Miss your family?"

"I see... Well, I don't know how long you've been here... but me... it's been years... and I finally died... Will... *Sniffle* Will I be forgotten...?"

...

Zack: "No... Even now... I remember you, Ashley... You'll never be forgotten... I love you."

He thought.

Zack feels happy to be back home and in the real world. Of course, he's a little confused and lost, but that should be expected. Needless to say, he was happy.
