The arrival and actions of this new figure made a remarkable impact on the environment. The figures around them all began to stir, waking and rousing themselves. The child yawned, rolled, and snuggled against the woman holding her sleepily. In her turn, the woman, who had been introduced as Love, smiled and stretched as she began to wake, stroking the child's long hair. She looked around in confusion, then her eyes widened in alarm as she noticed the state of the library. Reason woke once more, looking far more lively this time, and rose to go and shake Instinct by the shoulder to bring her around.<br/><br/>Together, they all rose and stood together. The child woke and looked around, eyes trained on the three new figures standing there.<br/><br/>Her eyes went wide and she exclaimed as she squirmed free of Love's arms. "Visitors!!" she squeeled, and ran to greet them. Reason and the others began moving about the room, moving through the books. They didn't touch them, instead waving their hands toward them. The process was slow, but one by one, the books began appearing on the shelves.<br/><br/>The child could apparently tell which of the visiting figures was the real man. She leaped at him, arms going tight around his legs as she hugged him, "I've wanted to meet you for so long!!! she loves you so much, you know that?!"<br/><br/>=================================<br/><br/>Meanwhile, in the hospital room, the two lovers slept peacefully, hands clasped together. Neither was at all responsive, and the nurses were becoming alarmed. They brought in the doctor, who checked the husband's pulse and other vitals.<br/><br/>"Its bizzare. He seems to have slipped into the same condition his wife is in, yet he has no injury at all. We need to get him hooked to monitors. I need to see what's going on inside his brain. Someone bring a gurney."<br/><br/>He leaned over them to pull their hands apart, but found he couldn't. Both were completely unconscious, and yet their hands were clasped tightly. As he tried to pullthem apart, he noticed a strange sight. There was a dim light glowing between their palms, barely visible in the space between them. A sudden, alarmed voice distracted him and he looked around.<br/><br/>"Doctor!"<br/><br/>A nurse had exclaimed, pointing at the woman's monitor, "Look at her monitors!"<br/><br/>She was right. The woman was showing drastic improvement. There was almost normal activity showing in her mind. She was still deeply unconscious, so deep he could tell she would be unable to wake, but her brain seemed to be functioning. There was nothing in all of his years of experience to explain it.<br/><br/>"Someone bring a bed in here. These two need to stay together."
