When we get to the hospital, they tell me I’m in shock and that I should sit down and calm myself. I try to explain that it’s Rain who’s in shock. Then (in case they’ve forgotten their training) I list the symptoms of shock for them: cool, clammy skin, pallor, rapid pulse and breathing, dilated pupils, confusion, weakness, and fainting. I can’t tell if they’re taking me seriously. I don’t know what their smiles mean. They tell me it’s under control, that she’s going to be okay. I ask Liam if they’re lying to me. He shakes his head and says, “You did great, Ethan.” He hasn’t answered my question, and he’s lied to me too. I haven’t done great. I failed my sister. She’d been complaining of pain all day, and I disregarded it until it was too late. This is the only thing I’m good at, and it wasn’t enough to save her.
