Sai: opens his eyes, sees a small room, walls are painted with three different colors resembling a flag of some kind, he lowers his head to see his abdomen covered with bandages, Sura is sleeping on a chair at the side of the bed and Yonah is guarding the entrance to the room, tries to raise himself to rely on the wall but as he's moving, the wound opens a little, he tries to hold the pain to prevent Sura from waking but to no avail

Yonah: turns her head immediately, sees Sai awake, and runs towards him shouting "you are alive! Heh heeeeh... You are finally awake!" hugs him hardly

Sai: ahh sweetie, tries to tell her about the pain, but as he sees the peace her face is filled with, he stops and hugs her back as if the pain has just vanished

Sura: awakes to Yonah's voice, sees Sai awake, her face extends being filled with joy and hugs Sai

Sai: with a smile on his face, he closes his eyes and relies on them, holding them as if he's holding his own body

After about a minute

Yonah: pushes herself away from Sai

Sai: looks at her surprisingly

Sura: leaves Sai and looks at Yonah

Yonah: with a sad face filled with regret, she says "it's all my fault, I've caused all of this, if it wasn't for me, nothing would have happened to you... Nothing!" falls to her knees, starts crying with her hands covering her eyes, and says "I caused this suffering, you took that risk because of me, I'm the one who should be suffering, we should never have taken any chances..."

Sura: shouts "no! It's my fault! If I wasn't so stupid and careless and checked the indicator, we would have known... I'm th..."

Sai: screams "shut up both of you! If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been even alive! You saved me too many times, If it weren't for you, the scavengers would have cut me into pieces that day, if it weren't for... Your existence I wouldn't even be breathing right now! If there were a reason for me waking up this time, it would be because I wanted to see you... I wanted to live as much as I can with you! Both of you are my reason for living"

Sura: lowers her head, covers her eyes, trying to hold the storm of emotions

Yonah: stops crying, looks at Sai with a shocked face, lowers her head a little, then raises it and with a serious, confident look, she says "if my existence means yours, then I'll try everything to keep existing... Dad, mom, I promise I will let nothing finds its way into you"

Sura: looks at Yonah and says "I too... Will give my life to make that happen, we are a family, our fates will forever be tightened together... No matter what happens!"

Sai: smiles, hold them both, and says "forever? I will take that as a promise then"
