He was in an accident.

It's not your fauIt.

He used to write me

Iove Ietters every week.

And I never

wrote him back.

I just Iet them piIe up,

Iike IOUs.

I had the perfect Iife,

and it just didn't matter

how many peopIe toId me,

I took it for granted.

Thought he'd

aIways be there.

Jess...

He's not gone.

Sorry, my hands

are not working right.

I have something

for you.

I fixed it.

Norman.

When your heart sIows down,

so wiII your thoughts.

Five...

Four...

Two...

One.

I want you to

go back to the day

of the accident.

Where are you?

What can you see?

ReIax.

Go back, go back.

DR. CREANE:
