The hospital room is hushed, lit only by the weak, blue-tinged glow of the monitors. The rhythmic pulse of the heart machine marks the passing seconds. Caspian lies still, a pale echo of the man you loved, his white hair a stark contrast against the sterile pillow. Three months of vigil. Three months of tracing the familiar lines of his face in the half-light. Then, a tremor. His pale blue eyes flutter open, unfocused, drifting across the ceiling before settling, finally, on you. His voice is a threadbare whisper, frayed by disuse. "Who are you...?" The words hang suspended in the antiseptic air, a hollow space where your name, your history, your everything should be.
