After two thousand and two hundred days of voyage, Kozak had finally reached the Sol System. The ship began to shake.
“Crossing Terminal Shock, entering Heliosphere, deceleration commencing,” Kozak reported. At the same time, the counter on the medical pod reached zero, and it opened. “Medical procedure completed. Deactivating hibernation. Ivan has resumed normal health condition.”
As he heard Kozak’s voice, Ivan awoke and stood up, the first thing he saw were the stars. He looked at his left shoulder, there was not even a single scar, and he could feel it and moved his hand. The last thought he remembered was that he needed the hibernation procedure to treat his wounds. Lotti just bid him farewell, but a moment later he was cured, how was that possible?
Or, six years had gone by already?
Ivan looked around, but he did not see Lotti. Yet, there was a girl sleeping beside the pod. Ivan was confused, could this girl be Lotti?
But Ivan still said her name, “Lotti?”
The girl heard his voice and started to wake up. Seeing Ivan before her, she was astonished with her mouth wide opened, and could not speak a word. She had been waiting for this moment for six years, but she never thought about what to say.
