Mika was stuck in a weird consciousness. She was in a limbo between awake and unconscious. She was walking in a dreamlike land. Her throat had opened enough to breathe but was still uncomfortable. Then through the mist in her mind she saw her sister and father looking at her sadly. They waved and turned away from her. The swirling mist swallowed them up again. She screamed for them with no sound. She ran though she couldn't move. Whatever she did they didn't come back. Tears ran dusty tracks down her cheeks, both in her mind and in real life. The tears she never cried came out then, trickling like a stream down her face. The longing and pain was unbearable. She gave up on life. She didn't die but lost the will to live. She was content to stay in her limbo for a while.
