"Yes!" I yelled out, excitedly.

He chuckled again and waved bye as he walked out the door. I smiled in my bed, still tucked into my sheets. I didn't feel so lonely anymore.

The next day, I woke up with a tap on my shoulder. I opened my eyes to see Anthony in a suit. He smiled as I sat up on the bed and handed me a suit too. It was a well secured suit and looked slightly different from his.

"Put it on and then we can go outside. Only the courtyard outside, though, but it's still so beautiful." He said, ruffling my bed hair.

I nodded and started putting it on. I recognized the clips and bolts of it and remembered how Lily would put the suit on. When I got it on, I felt different. I never really wore any other clothes than this. Technically it isn't actual clothes, but feeling other weight holding me down than the clothes I have right now- it just feels human.

"Are you ready?" Anthony asked, holding his hand out for me to grab it.

I grabbed his hand and smiled at him, earning a smile from him too. He opened the metal door and pushed my hand in the direction of it. I tried to walk with him, but I was slower.

I didn't know what was going on, but I just felt weak. So weak that I was dragging him down. Of course, he didn't feel like I was dragging him down, but I think I am.

"Are you okay?" He asked, raising his eyebrow in concern.

I look up at his eyes. He seemed- how do I say this- worried about me. Anthony smiled and grabbed me, carrying me bridal style once again. I smiled. I remember last night and that night was my favorite out of all the nights I've spent. He carried me outside the door of my room and that's when my eyes widened. A whole other world behind the very door I was trapped from. I wanted that freedom and this guy gave to me. I saw nurses I never seen before.

Some of them looked at me in envy, but I didn't care. Nobody looked at me in envy ever. Somebody feeling envy rather than pity towards me is a really rare case. I loved every second of it.

He carrried me to the courtyard, occasionally greeting nurses around. The nurses would either respond happily or with a flirting tone which I got pretty jealous of.

Then, I heard birds chirping. Something I haven't heard of for awhile. It reminded me of the time my father got me a bird for my birthday. I used to obsess over birds, mainly because they can fly. I haven't seen one or heard of them in years.

Anthony finally reached the courtyard and let me down on my feet. Before I could fall over, he wrapped his arm around my waist to keep me steady. The shoes of the quarantine suit touched the trail of the courtyard. I looked around and saw a running water fountain in the middle with beautiful cherry blossom trees with petals on the ground.

I didn't know how to react. The sunlight shined on me, making me squint my eyes. When the light shined down through the plastic clearing in front of my face, I felt warmth. I felt different. Can you blame me?

I knelt down on to grass in the corners of the courtyard and picked at the grass below me. Of course I couldn't feel it but I dreamed and imagined while picking it one by one. I picked up a dandelion and tried to make a wish, but I couldn't, because of the suit blocking my interaction from the outside world.

I wanted to wish for something, something I couldn't achieve easily.

"I wish for freedom," I thought out loud.

Anthony smiled at me.

He blew the dandelion for me and it's seeds danced in the wind. He looked at my astonished face and whispered to me,

"One day, you will too."
