Chapter Text
Prologue:
Two nurses set about cleaning up a small room, life saving equipment strewn about. The long-term patient was in getting his weekly checkup. While the two of them cleaned they couldn't help but chat to themselves as they made sure everything was sterile and organized. The television was showing a nature show in the background. "I'm starting to fear that Keira will never get better," the blonde nurse stated sadly as she straightened up the sheets on the bed. The redhead looked over at her before sighing, "Well there is not much we can do. All the cancer has seemed to stop, it seems like he is lost the will to live. If only there was something that could raise his spirits."
Just at that moment a commercial came on, "Bored from ordinary life? Old system games getting tiresome? Well look out for new MMORPG game called Second Life. It has a 99.9% realism but will not replicate any injuries or handicaps that you have in real life. Take a second chance to have a life, a second life I mean. Soon to be in stores February 12th."
The television quieted down as the commercial ended. The nurses stood stunned before smiling at each other brilliantly. "This is got to help him. We should go buy one from the store," the blonde said giddily. The redhead shook her head before smiling brilliantly again, "I'm going to call company and ask for special gaming device for him." They both jumped around happily before leaving the clean room. "I just hope Keira finds a reason to live from this," the two murmured silently as they will stalked to the break room to call the company.
