Meredith shielded her eyes from the sharp glint of the rays filtering through the windows. For a moment, everything felt right with the world, as if nothing would ever hurt her. Wait, no. This didn’t feel right.

She was supposed to be dead. She died. She was certain of that. As if to remind her of her place in the underworld, a sharp pain daggered her chest. She cried out while gripping her chest.

“Mei Mei.” Warm hands wrapped around Meredith. Though everything was still blurry, she knew exactly who was holding her. These were the same arms she had felt safe in ever since she was a child. “It’s okay, Mei Mei. Baba is here,” he soothed her. “Your mother and I are both here. You’re safe now.”

“Baba.” She hugged him back tightly. “Baba…” Instead of words, she was overpowered by tears, and she violently shook in her father’s arms. Baba didn’t say anything, only holding her and keeping her safe. After what felt like hours, she finally pulled out of his embrace. The worry in his eyes was too much for Meredith to bear. Mami sat close to her bed, watching her silently with sad eyes.

“Do you feel better?” Baba asked.
