> Derrick: Keep the subject spiritual. Best to just find a way to stay in this room, or have reason to be there in the 'last moments.'

seconding, maybe stress that since you couldn't support her before, you feel like you need to be here for her now.

I wouldn't say "last moments" as that implies being there as they pull the plug, and her mom would definitely want to be present during that.

I mean she can be present too. It'll just be more awkward. Doesn't change what we have to do.

Even if Derrick does a hasty kiss and then gets escorted from the hospital, mission accomplished.

Throwing my hat on the >2 pile

Throwing in a command to giveup and go get pizza with the gang.

Derrick: Keep the subject spiritual

Derrick: ... The necklace I got for her, it represents her symbol.
Derrick: Her "Watchful eye" Keeping watch on her when no one else can.
Derrick: I believe that she's being watched over, right now.
Derrick: Should this night come to pass, and she doesn't wake she'll be in a better place.
Derrick: But I believe she'll wake...!
Lucia's Mother: H-how??
Derrick: I don't think it's a coincidence that I'm here, Ms. Morris.
Derrick: I think I'm supposed to be here.
Derrick: Think about it.
Lucia's Mother: ..... I'm not sure what you're trying to say.
Derrick: Do you know of Lucia's watchful eye?
Lucia's Mother: ... I think she mentioned it once or twice.
Derrick: Do you believe she was right?
Lucia's Mother: ....
Derrick: I got her this necklace to keep her safe...
Derrick: Someone is looking out for her!
Derrick: Don't give up on her just yet!
Lucia's Mother: ..........

Lucia's Mother: Oooh..!!
Lucia's Mother: I need time, I can't talk to you right now!

You were removed from the room, but you have a good feeling about this. You look at your watch briefly, it's 10:52pm.

> Derrick: buy some drinks and snacks, bring it to your friends, thank them for sticking with you. Keep an eye on the clock, but taking a moment to regroup and talk with your friends won't hurt.

>Derrick: Message your friends an update.

seconding

Thirding Panur, and seconding MA.
Also:
>Derrick: Remember to get a drink & snack for Lucia’s mom as well.

At some point we really probably shoulda asked Lucia's Mom her name. Gotten more familiar with her. Helped her shift her emotional responsibility over onto Derrick some so she'd be more inclined to listen to him.

You pause for a moment to think about your progress. If it wasn't for your friends you don't think you'd have made it this far. Before you never thought you could trust people as easily as you did, but you suppose it's a sign of your own progress as a young man.



You think you'll thank them by offering treats, it's the least you could do.

Emily: Derrick, you're back!
Emily: How'd it go?
Derrick: I think I'm getting through to her!
Derrick: I want to thank you guys.
Derrick: I'm not really one to do this sort of thing, y'know asking for help with things.
Derrick: But lately I find it has become easier.
Derrick: The more I think about it, the more I feel like I'm really starting to evolve as a person.
Derrick: I'm starting to become a bit more confident.
Derrick: So, here.
Emily: Ooooh! Thanks so much, Derrick!
Garreth: Thank you.
Garreth: I suppose I should thank you as well.
Garreth: You've shown me that people really can change. I used to be a bit depressed over a situation I went through in the past.
Garreth: I used to think I'd never come to like anyone again.
Garreth: I'd always stay by myself and worry about a select few.
Garreth: But I'm starting to see myself evolving too.
Garreth: And I believe it's because of you.
Garreth: So cheers.

You decide to kill some time to allow your words to permeate within Lucia's Mother. The time has come for you to show Lucia and yourself what your word really means.

>Derrick: apologize for brushing off their backup plans before, you were just nervous. You'd love to hear them now, just in case.

What Pan said, but first!
>Everybody: Group Hug of Mutual Support and Friendship.

Seconding MA and then Pan, in that order ^^)

Garreth: Hey guys, things will be fine.
Garreth: We've come this far through teamwork, I'm certain we'll see this through the same way.
Emily: I believe in us!
Derrick: Me too.

You quickly scarf down your snacks. It's time to see this to the end.

Derrick: Here I go.
Emily: Good luck!
Garreth: You can do it, dude.

You return back to Lucia's bed room, your watch says it's 11:50pm leaving you with 10 minutes to complete your mission. You were nervous up until the group hug with your friends, now you're determined. You recall buying a lot of items from the IP store you thought you'd need, but it seems like a waste of money now. Good thing you kept the receipt. You wonder if there's anything else you should do before entering?

1. No, go in
2. There is something else

2. Check Some more rooms.

10 minutes can fly by pretty fast, let's not waste any more time.

>1. No, go in

>1
I don't see anything we still need to do before going in.

>number 1.

numbah 1

okay, throwing my vote on the >1 pile but with a twist!

>Derrick: Knock before you go in so you don't startle the poor woman.

>number 1

Go in. Let's not waste time. Just in case there's any other concerns. This should not come down to the minute/last second, for all we know 'Midnight' by the hour isn't the same as true Midnight or... whatever. Let's get in there and kiss the girl. Then deal with Ms. Lucia's Mom beating Derrick as Lucia wakes back up.

Derrick: Knock before you go in so you don't startle the poor woman



You go up to the door and knock, a soft voice tells you to enter.

Derrick: Have you thought about what I said?
Lucia's Mother: ....sigh
Lucia's Mother: It's over, child.
Lucia's Mother: Lucia is not going to wake up now, it's been over 8 years..!
Lucia's Mother: I've visited her day after day...
Lucia's Mother: Please, just say goodbye and go home.
Derrick: ....
