Echo asked, "What is going on?"

Karen smiled weakly. *I assumed you would ask that. Always answers with you, Echo. I suppose I should tell you.

I have liver failure. Also called Jaundice.*

Echo says, "How did you get Jaundice Karen,"

*liver failure. Long story Id rather not get into. Point is, doctors say Im not looking good. So. . . I wanted to say goodbye.*

Echo froze and said, "What do you mean goodbye?"

*let me repeat myself.

The doctors say I dont have long.

So I wanted to say goodbye.

Forgive my shrewdness, but are we starting to connect the dots?*

Echo says, "Your dying?"

She said, *lets not go that far. Im not dying. Not yet. But Im stuck in this bed while the doctors work on trying to help me. Now, I still have a chance, if someone is willing to donate a liver to me. But whos gonna donate to a Karen with a past like mine? Before you say yourself, no. For one, your too young, and two, you dont match me. I checked.*

Echo says, "Then who does match with yours?"

*I dont know. Someone, likely. But no one has offered.*
