[Peter is on a hospital bed with tubes everywhere and he has an oxygen mask on his face. Lanys solemnly enters the room and sees Peter and she lowers her head]

Lanys: (softly) because of me, you are in this position. I'm so sorry and...

[Lanys takes out a paper from her pocket]

Lanys: and you wanted to tell me all this. I'm so...

[The Doctor enters the room and he looks at Lanys]

Doctor: Are you family?

Lanys: No.

Doctor: So, do you know him?

Lanys: Yes, almost all my life. He's my...

Doctor: (interrupts) he's been in and out for a while. The medicine is working.

Lanys: Tell me, Doctor. Is he going to be okay?

Doctor: Peter...

[The Doctor points at Peter]

Doctor: He's fine, he just wanted us to put all those things up, because he wanted to impress someone. He's just sleeping right now.

Lanys: (angrily) I'll kill him.

[Lanys walks closely to where Peter is sleeping]

Lanys: (screams) Peter Smith!!!

[Peter opens his eye lids rapidly and looks scared when he sees Lanys]

Lanys: (angrily) How dare you? Why do you want to scare me like that?

[Peter takes the oxygen mask off and looks at Lanys]

Peter: You were the one to scare me, I was asleep.

Lanys: Really? You told the Doctor to put all these things and contraptions on you, so you could impress someone.

[Peter smirks and responds]

Peter: (smiling) Oh yeah, I did.

[Lanys gets close to Peter and grabs his shirt]

Lanys: I...

[Lanys doesn't continue speaking until she hugs Peter]

Lanys: ... am glad you're okay. You scared me.

[Peter responds the hug]

Doctor: Well, I'll leave you two alone.

[The Doctor leaves the room. Lanys lets go of the hug and looks at Peter]
