"The future ... what?!" All those visions in his head. They really were memories from the future? All that really happened?! His eyes widened. But before he could ask anything else she gave his hand a squeeze and moved away from him. His chest tightened. Ellie was leaving. His Ellie. No, no that was ... from the future apparently.
"Ellie ..." She was gone out the door and he was left to lay there even more confused than before. How could people from the future show up here? Why? Maybe the memories would tell him but how could he sort through things that he both did and didn't know? He tried to sit up, vaguely registering that an insistent beep had started up from the IV machine. Footsteps approached and for a moment he thought Ellie had come back but instead it was a couple nurses that had come in, shocked to see him so alert after a deep coma.
