Child's Mom reached out and gently brushed the hair hanging over the child's face.
The sight of the child sleeping peacefully made Child's Mom's heart melt.
But at the same time, her worries wouldn't go away.
"Let's talk outside."
Child's Dad headed for the hospital room door first.
Child's Mom took one last look at the child, then got up and followed.
Child's Dad sat down on a chair in the hallway.
Child's Mom walked over and sat down beside him.
She turned her head.
A lingering worry showed between her brows.
"Anna..."
The woman frowned.
The child's coma had completely taken her by surprise.
The child's condition...
Was even more serious than she'd thought.
Child's Dad pressed his lips together.
"...I think the doctor did the right thing."
"I don't want to worry about what that shadow is, either."
"Let's just let Anna think of it as a dream..."
"What if Anna sees it again?"
Child's Mom was very worried.
Even now, she still couldn't figure out why the child had seen the shadow.
There hadn't been any warning signs.
Nothing had happened to upset the child—
Ah.
Child's Mom suddenly remembered the first time the child had seen the shadow.
Could it be...
That near car accident—
No, that didn't make sense.
The child had seen the shadow first, and it had affected her, leading to the near accident afterward.
If the crisis had affected the child...
Then the child should have seen the shadow after the crisis...
Ah.
Child's Mom felt a headache coming on.
She couldn't make sense of it...
No matter what, she couldn't make sense of it...
From beginning to end, the whole thing was baffling... absurd and bizarre.
Her child...
Why had she...
Started seeing things?
