The sound of her mother's voice fills her room; the feel of her weight on the bed makes Nita think that she may be losing her mind or having the most vivid dream ever. The dream only ends when she's lulled back to sleep at the end of a day with her mom to the sounds of the snowglobe. The next day, she wakes up in a hospital, even more discombobulated than before.
