"Life is not about the luxurious place, comfortable bed, nor the sumptuous food set on the table. It's about the person you live within a place, eat with and sleep within a comfortable bed that makes life memorable and worth living."
-Yeppeun Magus

One week had passed and the blue veins on my body are gone, the nurse told me that I can now leave my room. I'm staring at myself in the mirror and I also noticed that the dark circles around my eyes are gone, my skin is now glowing, my cheeks and lips are now back to its normal pinkish color. I look so lively but inside I know I'm not.

The same girl who gave me food and shots last week entered my room with a dress in her hand and a pair of stiletto shoes. She places it on top of the bed and I was astonished to see a revealing type of clothing. It's a black tube ornamented with crystals paired with a micro leather skirt.

"D-do you have something that would not show too much skin?"

She smiled at me as she nod her head.

"I understand, just a moment please."

I would never wear this type of clothes, I don't know, it seems inappropriate. The woman went back and a smile form on my lips as I saw the cream dress she placed on top of the bed. It's a long sleeved cream dress with a skirt that gently flows with laces just above my knee.

"Mr. Casper himself prepared the dress for you."

The girl smiled and gave me a white flat that would match the dress. She should've given me this first.

"Once you're done please wait outside your room, an authorized person and legal guardian of yours will be here soon."

I was about to ask her a question but she already left the room. Legal guardian? Who's my legal guardian in this time? I can feel my heart pounding in my chest just thinking of who could it be.

After changing my clothes I went out of the room and all I can see are white doors like mine. The hallway was silent and the feeling of loneliness is once again knocking inside me. I was staring blanking at what's in front of me. My mind in a chaos thinking of thousands of what ifs. I found my feet dragging me towards the emergency exit then I saw the stairs but instead of going down I found myself walking up.

I take a deep breath as I open the door that will lead me to the rooftop. I was momentarily blinded by the bright light. The sun is still warm even after a hundred and ninety years. I take a step forward and approach the very end of the rooftop, I was speechless when I realized that Cryo hospital is floating in mid-air together with some high rise building. My feet are shaking as I hold the cold metal bar railings.  I close my eyes as soon as I had a glimpse of what's down below. Buildings. More buildings and moving objects are visible about a hundred meters from where I am standing.

I can feel my heart thumping in my chest and my mind going blank as I made up my mind for a decision I might regret. I part my lips as small air escaped my mouth then I place one foot on top of the cold metal bars. The wind was getting stronger. My breathing was slow but steady. All of a sudden my knees stopped shaking. It felt like my brain stopped feeling any fear.

"I'm sorry Casper, but I can't live a life like this."

My throat is dry as I fix my gaze on the moving cars. I can hear the wind blowing against me and there was a deafening sound that rings in my ear as I step my other foot above the metal. I shut my eyes together with my doubts, and I spread my arms like a bird ready to fly. Yes, I was scared, very scared. but my determination of ending this misery is stronger than my fears.
