It was late summer and the wind was a little cold already. Richie stood on the hospital terrace, his hair stirring in the light breeze.

The doctors and nurses had been extremely busy for two days in a row, and each and every one of them had a grave and haggard look on their faces. They had worked non-stop on the important patients who had come up in the hospital one after the other.

Spark had come around from the coma. The sinews of his left hand had been damaged so severely that he wouldn't be able to exert much strength with his left hand even after the sinews were connected. What was more, the nerves controlling the fingers had become insensitive, which meant that violin would not be a part of his life anymore.
