The player must make it to the hospital before their loved one undergoes surgery so they can be by their side. The loved one was scheduled for surgery in several months, but while the player was out, their condition grew worse and forced immediate operation. No one is immediately available to drive the player to the hospital. They must find their own way there before it's too late.
