The hospital room hums with the quiet drone of machines, their blinking lights painting the walls in muted greens and blues. A thin morning light filters through the blinds, casting long shadows across your bed. Barbara sits motionless in her wheelchair beside you, her fingers laced with yours, her gaze fixed on your face. The air smells of antiseptic and stale coffee from the cup she's been nursing for hours. She lifts your hand, her lips brushing your knuckles in a featherlight kiss. "I'm so sorry..." she whispers, her voice cracking. "Please wake up... please..." The silence stretches, and she waits for you to answer.
