If I Stay

The main scene is currently in the hospital where Mia is being treated. Although the setting gets flipped around due to her talking about her past,  the events taking place right now are in a hospital in Portland. The time is present and the scenes are going on at different times in the day. It is wintertime where they are right now. I would describe the hospital as smelling like latex and depression, because of the obvious reason that the doctors are wearing sanitary gloves, but I when I smell depression I think of the scent of medication which could lead to thoughts of death. I feel stiffness and awkwardness. Stiffness is more of a physical feeling in the sense that laying in a hospital bed is very rigid and uncomfortable. It feels awkward on more of a social and emotional level because people wouldn't know what to say to one another or how to think of the given situation. I hear nervousness and anxiety because the doctors and nurses are rushing in circles trying to account for everyone who needs medical attention and assuring that things are running smoothly. The anxious half of it is more from the people in the waiting area, desperately waiting to hear if their loved ones will be okay. Mia is starting to get a feel for what is going on since she has been here for about a day now. She is getting to know some of the nurses and is becoming more familiar with the fact that her spirit is currently separate from her physical body. It seems as though Mia feels like she is behind a wall because she just wants to tell people she is there and wants to know what is going on. When Mia was being lifted up in the helicopter, she was thinking, "It's 10:37. I wonder what's happening back down on the ground. Has Willow figured out who the emergency is? Has anyone phoned my grandparents?... I wonder about Kim." (26) In this specific section, Mia is just wondering what state she is in and what is happening to her relatives and friends. Based on what I have read and what I can infer from the given information, I predict that after a few more days or weeks of treatment, Mia will wake up to see the world again. I have decided this because even though her parents and possibly Teddy are gone, she would want to live for them and also to see Adam, since she hasn't seen him yet and feels bad for missing his band's performance. In the details to come, I will find out what Mia decides after all.
