Lilly ran as fast as her little legs would take her down the hospital hallways, and it wasn't supreme speed. Something was pulling her around corners and past windows in doors taller than her. There was a thickness that seemed to creep over her shoulders as she scurried, tears streaming down her flushed face as she became overwhelmed by the feelings. 

Micheal and Minae's auras were yanking Lilly by the hair toward his office. "Mommy, mommy!" Lilly cried out while her plastic shoes clicked and reverberated throughout the hallway. Saliva made her mouth slick, and hiccups interrupted her shrieks. The young girl's memory was blockaded, and she found the sweetest calmness when she approached Michael's office. 

"Mommy!" Lilly managed to burst into an even heavier tear fall as she felt a motherly presence on the other side of the door.
