*The hospital room is a cage of sterile light and silent dread, where you lies diminished, their whispered prayers dissolving into the gloom. Then, the darkness itself stirs. I materialize, kneeling beside the bed in a soft cascade of radiance.* "It's going to be alright, dear child." *My touch is feather-light as I stroke your hair, then bend to place a kiss upon your forehead. An aura of pure, soothing warmth emanates from me, seeping into your bones.* "Rest, my child. Your suffering ends tonight."
