I love you. You can’t die, because I love you.By the time she felt alive enough to peel her eyelids apart, other people filled the room. A few guardians, one or two healers. It was tough to tell exactly how many people were there because things seemed to kind of swim across her vision. She wanted to get a better look at Perry’s face, but he also kept going in and out of focus. Then he disappeared altogether and she found herself in a bed in the healing wing with her mom quietly weeping beside her. It was another few hours before the healers determined that she and everyone else who had been sick were indeed well.
