Justin stands up and bends his head, since he is taller than the tunnel. “Joy, let’s just get out of here.”

“We have to save the baby. Right, Charlie?” she looks for help from her friend.

“She left the baby!” Joy is jumping in place hysterically. “She left the baby!”

Justin puts his hands on her shoulder. “It’s just a dream, Joy, it’s not real.”

Madelyn turns her super wheelchair to face Joy. “There is a lot of sadness in the world. There are mothers that can’t take care of their babies--“

“My dad, Grampa Walt, can also get hurt. But protect him second. First Joy.”
