Did you really walk all the way here from the hospital?"
>You grit your teeth as you shift your weight back to your own feet, the all too familiar pins and needles shooting up through your entire body."Y-yeah."
"But... but why? How? The doctor said you weren't going to be walking for a few months, at least! You're pushing yourself so hard so soon, it seems awfully reckless."
"I had to get out of that hospital bed. I had to prove I could get up and walk out of there on my own. That I didn't need anybody else to take care of me anymore."
>Applejack frowns."But Anon, yer house is all the way on tha other side of town. Why on earth would you have tried comin' all the way to Sweet Apple Acres?"
>You slip your hand beneath her hat and scritch behind her ears, running your fingertips through her mane."Because you missed me... and because
I missed you back.">She smiles up at you and nuzzles your hand.>The two of you turn to walk back to the farm.>After a few steps you suddenly pitch forward onto your hands and knees.>You're shaking uncontrollably.>No.>This can't be happening.>Not now. Not with her here."Anonymous? What's wrong?"
>You try to tell her to run.>To get help.>Nothing comes out but a strangled whine."A...Anonymous...?"
>Your whole body trembles and convulses.>You fall over on the ground."Sugarcube!"
>This is it.
