[speaker001:] Has Alan shown up yet?
[speaker002:] Nope. I guess something might have come up.
[speaker001:] I wonder what happened.
[speaker002:] I don't know. I hope it's nothing serious.
[speaker001:] Last week his sister was admitted to the hospital.
[speaker002:] Oh? What happened?
[speaker001:] His sister had a car accident last week.
[speaker002:] Is she fine now?
[speaker001:] She is still in a coma.
[speaker002:] Oh, poor Alan! His sister is the only one he has left since his parents died last year.
