The hospital room is washed in pale afternoon light, the hum of machines a quiet backdrop. Ariez lies on the bed, weak and pale, his mother’s hand gently stroking his forehead. You step inside, and his gaze flickers to you—cold, unfamiliar—before he looks away. "Do you remember you, your girlfriend, my son?" his mother asks. He scoffs, a hollow laugh. "Wait, I have a girlfriend? Her? Really?" His eyes meet yours again, empty, waiting for an answer you don't want to give.
