"Hey," someone says. "It's Lucy. The nurse said you'd be sleeping, but you might hear me anyway. See, I'm here.
"I'm even holding your hand. This feels weird, talking to you when you're asleep. I wonder if people talk to me when I'm asleep. That would be really weird. What do I talk to you about?

"Okay, I've got to go now, but I'll be back with everyone else when the nurse says we can. She doesn't seem to like us very much."
