The sun's rays made their way through the snow-white curtains. There were animal stickers on the walls near the floor, and next to the single folding bed was a desk with a large box on it. Next to the table was a double sofa. Opposite was a closet and a bookshelf filled with comic books about superheroes. The teen blinked a few times, feeling the dryness in his eyes. He was very thirsty, and nausea discouraged any desire to eat or swallow anything. A familiar ginger spot jumped onto the bed next to him.

-Awoke?

-Kayden? But how..? – Jiwoo was about to get up, but a paw pressing on his side stopped any attempts.

- We're safe. You're in the private clinic owner's husband's office. – Kayden smiled at the corners of his mouth. - You are so lucky.

- Do they know who you are? – In the answer followed a nod. Cold sweat broke through the boy. – You wanted to hide your existence... How do you feel?!

- I'm fine, don't cry. Now is the time for patients, and we are just above the office. – Then he told how Edward, the husband of the doctor who worked here, found them. He turned out to be awakened one, but long ago severed all ties with organizations in order to start a new quiet life with his family. Edward immediately understood what was happening and brought Jiwoo and Kayden to his car, who, due to lack of energy, turned into a cat right in front of the awakened one. Break swallowed as he remembered how he had to endure the surprised open eyes and mouths from all the members of the family after waking up after several hours of sleep. And also how Jiwoo had a hard time undergoing treatment, fortunately without consequences. He did not forget to mention the fictitious reason for not attending school for about a month. - In general, for us everything ended very well, that even I find it hard to believe it.

-Oh. – In the doorway stood a boy who looked about six years old. He wore a green sweatshirt with white stripes that matched his green eyes, and the ends of loose light brown pants were pulled up and pinned up at ankle level. He bowed awkwardly, twiddling his fingers. - Sorry. Papa Liam asked me to check if everything is fine. Ah, you're awake! I'll call papa Liam!

The child ran out into the corridor. His footsteps gradually faded as he descended from the second floor. Downstairs there was a muffled babble of a child. Kayden sighed and looked at the surprised Jiu, whose eyes widened more as another child rushed into the room. The girl stumbled in her long multicolored motley dress, but did not fall. She was clutching something tightly in her little fist. The child was smiling brightly, although she was missing one front tooth, and her long hair was gathered in two buns. The girl ran to the bed and crawled onto it, trying not to hurt the cat and the teenager.

- Hi, my name is Iris. - The voice sounded sonorous with a child's anguish. She pried off something white with her small fingers before sticking a star on the teen's nose and another on Kayden's forehead. The Awakened One mumbled angrily, but said nothing. - For the fact that you are on the mend.

-God, Iris, you can't disturb patients after one week of sleep. – A man in a knee-length white medical coat entered the room. His white hair was pulled back into a high ponytail. A slight smile played on his face with few wrinkles around his mouth and eyes. - And you can't stick stickers on cats' fur, it hurts them a lot when you try to peel them off.
