Vriska always said she was a physic, but they didn't believe her. But it had been two months since Vriska's so called brain attack. Winter had just grasped its cold fist on California, and for once, it snowed.
Terezi didn't leave the room, and the group of friends had drifted. Karkat mainly watched RomComs, until Terezi called him urgently out of the blue. "Karkat! I need you to watch over Vriska! My sister is giving birth, so I gotta go. She's getting and MRI today." And then she was gone, after a two week silence.
So he took a shower and got dressed, and started the long walk it would take to get to the hospital.

Karkat was already fuming when he saw the hospital in sight. As he approached it, he saw a crowd of people around that entrance. "For the love of..." He trailed off and picked up speed.
There was a news crew infront and the police. Karkat pushed past some passerbys who had no buiness there. "Hey, mind telling me what happened?" He asked a police officer. He informed him that a patient was about to get an MRI, and at the same time a pregnant woman came into the elevator, and for some reason it stopped. The cops were trying to get them out, but to no avail.
"Can you at least let me in?" He yelled. The officer shook his head.
Karkat groaned loudly, earning him a look from older adults. He didn't care though, because he was beyond upset.
Then it occured to him that Vriska was the patient getting an MRI, and the pregnant woman was probably Latula, Terzei's sister. What if she woke up to screaming and blood? Would she just pretend she was asleep and fall back in her coma?
Karkat let out a breathe of cold air and watched the white puff rise and fade into the light blue sky. He sat down on a bench, regretting his decision of not wearing a jacket. He felt a little poke on his shoulder and was met with the face of Meulin Leijon.
"Listen, if you're here to tell me how much of a screwup I am..." He trailed off. Meulin just stared at him, before taking out a huge denim bag and pulled a black hoodie from it. She handed it to him, earning a quizzical look from Karkat. He gratefully slipped it on, and felt something in his pocket. It was a leather bound notebook titled "M.S. Mindfang". He looked up expecting to see Meulin to give it back, but the long ginger girl was nowhere in sight.
He let out a long sigh, and began to read the table of contents.
I. Introduction
II. Child and Family
III. The Que Ball
IV. Orphaner Dualscar
V. Meeting Dolorosa
VI. Dolorosa's death
VII. Redglare
VIII. The Other World
IX. Im Sorry
It looked pretty short. What interested him was V, VI, VIII, and IX. He bet Kanaya would be interested in his, seeing how Dolorosa was her mother and his grandma (kind of). And Terezi, and Eridan, and even Vriska, if she was here.
