Soviet Union POV

I lay in my hospital bed staring at the ceiling. I wish I could fall asleep but the desire for tiredness never came to me. I didn't know what my children or friends were doing, and it's only so often that they can actually visit. It's really lonely here.

I looked to my right and saw my phone laying down on the table they brought me. The doctors say I can use my phone for thirty minutes, tops, but I only use it for ten. I was thinking about grabbing it and playing some games, since everyone is in school right now. I was about to reach for it when one of my doctors, Dr. Volkov, entered the room smiling at me. "Good news, Soviet, you're getting released early." He said, writing something down on his paper attached to the clipboard.

I couldn't believe my nonexistent ears. "What? Did I hear you correctly?"

Dr. Volkov chuckled. "Yes, you heard me correctly. You're recovery is outstanding and you're healthy enough to leave the hospital. Я уверен, что вы хотите покинуть это место, не так ли? (I'm sure you want to leave this place, don't you?)"

I nodded. "Is there a catch?"

"Not really, but you'll have to take this prescription medicine everyday. One in the morning, and one when you go to sleep. Once you run out, come back and we'll run some more tests to see if you are cured."

I cheered in my head and smiled. "School is today, do I have to go?"

Dr. Volkov shook his head. "You can just head home and surprise your kids."

My heart leaped at the thought of seeing my kids again, especially Russia. My smile grew wider as Dr. Volkov laughed. He let me sit up and handed me my prescription, along with the instructions.

Time skip

The feeling of the sunlight beaming down on me never felt so good. The fresh air and the soft breeze from the wind made me happier as well. As I was walking, I took a deep breath and let it out. I smiled brightly.

Being cooped up in that hospital made me realize how much I actually like the sunlight, the fresh air, the wind, basically just the outside world in general. I carried my pills and instructions in both hands.
