Wait for Me, Mom

About this drama

The source for this entry is a synopsis of 734 characters in seven sentences, and two transcription facts come first: five compounds carry six non-breaking hyphens, wider than the ordinary mark, eight-year-old carrying two of them, with deep-seated, neglect-caused, long-awaited, and ninth-birthday beside it, transcribed here with ordinary hyphens; and the curly apostrophe, in Ronan's, is transcribed straight. What the source states: eight-year-old Ronan's birthday turns tragic when his birthday gift and wish are taken by his younger sister Fallon; suffering chest pain, he begs his mother Lorna for help, and she dismisses his plea as a childish tantrum; Ronan dies at home, but his spirit remains trapped in the house, still protecting his biased mother out of deep-seated longing for maternal love; only the forensic doctor Vance can see and hear him; as police investigate the neglect-caused death, Ronan struggles between shielding Lorna and facing the bitter truth of unfair family affection; eventually he lets go of his desperate longing for his mother; and he joins a group of other wronged child spirits and gets his long-awaited proper ninth-birthday celebration. The premise is one dead child's spirit standing guard over the mother who dismissed him, and the source states the ending in full, the longing released, the truth faced, the celebration held. Three catalog facts frame the entry. The run is eighty episodes, the second-longest of the batch, standing one below the leader. The registry column lists 6 against the API's eighty, a gap of seventy-four, the second-widest of the batch, part of this batch's systematic split between free counts and full counts, disclosed with the API figure used here. The counter reads 616 views, seventeenth of twenty, in the lower quarter, so one of the batch's fullest sources sits near the bottom of the table. The byline is Capo Shorts, the first of its two entries in this batch, and the platform marks the series completed.
