"What about Eleven?" Mike asked, glancing at El out of the corner of his eye with a worried look.
"She needs to stay for a while longer, she had some severe damage done to her lungs, and she's very malnourished."
Mike sighed. "Okay" he said softly. "As long as I can visit her regularly"
"During visiting hours."
"Understood." He replied to the nurse.
