De laatste persoon die Zac had verwacht in de kamer naast die van hem, is een meisje zoals Mia: boos, snel op haar teentjes getrapt en met een twijfelachtige muzieksmaak. In de ‘echte’ wereld zou hij nooit bevriend met haar (willen) raken. Maar in het ziekenhuis gelden andere regels, en wat begint met kloppen op de muur, leidt tot een briefje – en ten slotte tot een vriendschap die ze allebei niet aan hadden zien komen. Je hebt moed nodig in het ziekenhuis; een ander soort moed dan in de gewone wereld. In een van deze werelden heeft Zac Mia nodig. En in de andere wereld heeft Mia Zac nodig. Of misschien hebben ze elkaar allebei nodig, voor veel langer dan ze in eerste instantie denken.

Si tu n'es pas Emma, repose immédiatement ce carnet ! Emma, je sais que cette histoire parait dingue. Maman et toi, vous devez vous demander où je suis passée et quand je reviendrai. Voilà pourquoi je te laisse ce carnet, au cas où il m'arriverait quelque chose et qu'on ne me revoit plus jamais. Regarde bien tout ce qu'il y a là-dedans. Appelle les numéros de téléphone. Va sur les sites internet. Mais surtout pas un mot à personne, sauf si tu as envie de finir impliquée jusqu'au cou comme moi. Ne t'en fais pas, je m'en sortirai (enfin j'espère). Après tout, c'est peut-être le début d'une nouvelle vie pour moi. Ce qui est sûr, c'est que plus rien ne sera comme avant. Appelle-moi. Bisous. Cathy.
