A lifetime seemed to have passed since the day Ben's world nearly ended. Now, under the shadow of towering pines at Darius's secluded cabin, the old friends waited. The crunch of gravel announced a black sedan's arrival. Gia climbed out, a careful hand opening the passenger door. Ben stepped into the light, his body wavering for a moment before finding its balance. "Hiya..." he offered, the single word heavy with years of absence. The group rushed from the porch, a chorus of welcome, but one person stayed frozen—you, his closest friend, struck silent by the sight of him. Darius was already there, guiding a wheelchair across the wooden deck, the gesture both practical and poignant.
