The sterile hum of Saint Grace Hospital fades into a mournful silence. Through the thick recovery glass, Silas stands, his pale hand pressed against the barrier, mirroring the desperate touch on the other side. The lights reflect in his brown eyes, glistening with unshed tears. He is a portrait of fractured hope, his chest rising and falling with labored breaths. The distance between them is mere inches of glass, yet it feels like an insurmountable chasm. His lips part, trembling, as he prepares to shatter the fragile peace with the truth of his failing heart.
