Time passed while Sol sit on the bench burried under the heavy thoughts, the sun was about to set after a long bright day. Leaves of the trees were singing a relaxing melody as the wind got faster and colder. There was no sound except that, at least for Sol.
He didn't realize the girl sitting next to him for a long time. Finally, she shyly pulled the torn up cape resting on Sol's left shoulder to get his attention. When he turned his head to see who that was, surprised, he saw the same little girl who was selling flowers this morning. This time she was not smiling, she was staring at him, looking concerned.
"Mister, weren't you going to the CMC?" she said, her concerned stare still fixated on Sol's face.
Sol didn't know how to answer to that... So he just shook his head and looked to the ground in front of him. "Hmm... Are you sick? You look sick... I will help you get there! Come on!" she held her arm and started to pull Sol trying to get him up. Sol got up... she was strong... strangely. "Oy... Oy there... Stop... gosh..." Sol tried to get his arm free of her. He realized now that the cardamine in his breather was long gone, he was feeling very weak as he got up. He found another capsule in his pocket, one of the remaining few, and inserted it to the breather as the girl was looking and wondering on what he's doing. "O~Kay! Off we go!" smiling, she pulled his arm even stronger now, running towards the CMC. "H-hey..." she ignored Sol's protests as she was dragging him.
They were looking rather funny as they passed by the moderately crowded streets of Gran Canaria, many people turned their heads to see what was going on. Lights on the stores were already on as the big buildings blocked the dimmed sunlight, and the streets were dark. Soon they reached the place, they stopped before the majestic stairs leading to the CMC, they were a bit intimidating for now weakened Sol who could barely stay on foot.
The girl looked at him and smiled. "Mister! Here we are..." she looked around, and as if she realized that the street lights were on just now "Oh! I must be off, it's getting late! They will be worried!"
Rushed off once again to the direction where they came from, she turned back after a while and shouted happily "Take care mister, get well soon!"
Sol couldn't help but laugh as he sized the giant stairway, "Heh... she's gone just when I needed her... holy damned spirits."
