AIDEN. 'No!' The words caught in my throat, overshadowed by the loud scream of Aunt and Lacie's wailing no. It drowned the small scream that caught in my throat, the urge to yell at the doctor and tell him there's no alternative to be made here and he has to save my cousin. But I couldn't. I couldn't say anything. "You drop something like this on us and demand we make a quick decision?!" Mav snapped, nudging me out of my little reverie. "I am sorry, Yarima." The doctor said while bowing his head. "But it's like I said. Delaying this would only put him through so much more unnecessary pain. Which is why, despite how hard it is for a doctor to give this as a final option, I have to say it. There's hardly anything we can do for him any more." I tried to talk again, but Mama beat me to it
