Ku calls Carol and Tyler once he's back in the Magic Space.
"Hello?" Carol answers. A crash is heard. "Ah, no!"
"Sorry, this is Tyler," Tyler's voice takes the phone.
"Hello Tyler..." Ku tries to keep his voice calm.
"Is something wrong?"
"In fact, yes..."
"What is it..?" Tyler's voice starts to sound scared.
"Brenton...a bully had opened Brenton's wound on the left side and it got infected..."
"No! Is he okay?!"
"Please do not worry, I am with him right now."
"Oh, thank you so much! Me and Carol will be right over."
"No, it is best for you to remain with the other kids. It would be best to not cause panic among them...and Brenton would prefer it that way..."
"You're right...please call us if anything else happens...is there any information you need?"
"About his wound on the left side."
A deep sigh comes from Tyler. "I...you see this girl and a bunch of kids almost killed Brenton a few years ago. Of course everyone got off because they were young. But Brenton suffered a huge and deep wound on his side which we couldn't afford to get properly healed..."
"Oh my gosh..."
"I know, it's our fault. We literally didn't have enough money to get treatment for Brenton...oh, I'm so sorry Brenton..."
"Listen, please do not worry. I will make sure Brenton is fine. He will be fine, I will do everything in my power to make sure of it."
"Thank you so much! Me and Carol will make sure everything stays calm here...please bring Brenton back home..."
"I will do everything I can..." with that the call ends and Ku leans against the wall. "I can not promise..."

"Yeah, I don't want you to be there but Brenton's in the hospital so none of us are home..." Owen speaks into the phone, in the Magic Space with Ku. "I'm sorry bhai, I really don't want you stay there all day but none of us will be there."
"Stop trying to find a way to feel better, I'm not mad at all Owen. Just make sure Brenton gets better, that's all that matters you hear me?" Jamil's stern yet kind voice goes into Owen's ear.
"I will try for sure. Just please take care of yourself bhai..." Owen's voice trails off.
"Hey, I'll be fine. Brenton needs your worry right now Owen. Now go be there for him," Jamil ends the call.
"Are you alright Owen?" Ku asks, smiling sadly.
"I guess, let's just get back to Brenton," Owen shakes his head and walks through the portal that Ku opens up.

"How much longer till they're done?" Alex paces around while Ava leans against the wall. Urana sits on the chairs with her hands covering her face.
"It's hard to say," Scott glances over at the hallway, his back to a wall.
"How'd they take it?" Red asks, eyeing that Ku and Owen came back.
"They are worried, and I hope to relieve that worry," Ku starts to pace like Alex who are joined by Red.
"We should've called Jasal," Amy states. "He could've given Brenton more energy and that would've helped him."
