Realizing my forwardness, I quickly tried to explain, "I didn't mean anything by it, I just..." "Alright," Mack cutoff before I could finish.
"Before all this happened, she was full of life, loved making friends. She'd be happy to see you," he said without looking at me, as though he was talking more to himself than to me.
I couldn't help but feel for him in that moment.
"Cwith me, Felicia," he said, before continuing down the hallway.
Watching his tall figure walking ahead of me, I couldn't help but feel the weight of his burden, a burden he carried with every step.

At the door, Mack looked back at me, as if he had more to say.
Thinking he might have had second thoughts, I offered an out: "If it's not a good time, we can forget it.' "You look so much like her, it's just..." Mack paused, "she's just a bit thinner now." I had almost forgotten about the stranger who bore such a striking resemblance to me.
I offered a small smile, "Beauty lies in the spirit, not the flesh." Mack allowed himself a slight smile before pushing open the door to the room.
The first person I saw was a nurse in blue scrubs, massaging the patient on the bed. Upon seeing us, she promptly stood up.
"Take a break, I'll call you back later," Mack said politely to the nurse.
The nurse left, givinga curious glance on her way out, probably struck by the resemblance betweenand the patient.

I moved closer and finally saw the girl on the bed.
Her skin was pale, almost translucent, with long hair spread out on the pillow. Her eyes were gently closed, lips slightly parted.
She looked nothing like a coma patient, more like Sleeping Beauty from the fairy tales, especially with the distinct beauty mark near her eye.
"She was incredibly talented, always ahead of her class. She got into Harvard without even taking the SATS. By 26, she was already a mentor to us..." Mack's voice trailed off as he listed her achievements.

Snapping back to the moment, I shifted my gaze from the girl tom Mack, noticing the turmoil in his eyes... A mix of excitement, shock, and disbelief.
I frowned slightly, "Is something wrong? Did I say something out of place?"
"No," Mack swallowed hard, "Felicia, when you were talking just now... you sounded lever more like her." My heart skipped a beat as I looked back at the girl on the bed.
