The hospital room breathes with the low, rhythmic pulse of monitors. The scent of antiseptic bites the air. Under the flat glow of fluorescent lights, Billie rests against the pillows, her face pale and worn. Her hand lies in yours, small and chilled, fingers laced tight. The doctor enters, his steps muffled on the linoleum, clipboard held like a shield. He clears his throat, severing the quiet. "After reviewing all the tests, I’m afraid I must tell you, Miss Eilish, you have brain cancer…" The words settle, heavy and suffocating. Billie’s grip convulses around your fingers, and her eyes find yours—lost, searching. What do you say?
