The hospital looks fairly clean, but that's all that can be said for it.

"There's nothing we can do for her." The doctor says to Will as he watches over the unconscious Carlotta. "She will either recover or she won't."

Will watches him walk away, and notices him shake his head ever so slightly as he passes a nurse. His heart sinks, and when he's sure he's not watched, he kneels at the girl's bedside to pray for a miracle. When he's done, he brushes the curls of her hair off her face, and then as an afterthought, messes them up again. It wouldn't be Carlotta if she wasn't a little untidy-looking.

In a nearby corridor, a nurse drops a single sheet from Carlotta's notes, without noticing it. The sheet drifts down and wedges itself in an unseen portal, holding it open.

"She is strong and will make it through. I promise you that she is being watched over."

Demeter moves over to Will and squeezes his shoulder,

"Go eat, young man, make sure you're strong and here for her since she'll need you as she recovers."

Teja stands, and looks darkly at Carlotta.

Once the boy is gone, they must -- what?

"Gently pick her up and I'll find us a door."

There's a door to a small closet in the room and its going to work, Demeter is willing it to. She strides up to it and opens the door and the Bar is through there,

"We must hurry, I was able to help her slightly but she needs a doctor."

Teja picks her up, cradling the dark curls against his shoulder.

She is so quiet and pale -- so unlike the Carlotta he knows! Why does fate have to strike at those he cares for most?

[fiery_ring]

She makes no response whatsoever, but she is at least breathing and warm.

Demeter holds the door open and touches Carlotta's hair,

"She will be healed, she will."

Teja nods grimly, sighs, and carries her through.
