The sterile white walls of the institution seemed to close in on Sato, the hum of surveillance cameras a constant drone. A sudden, impossible rustle of wings shattered his despair. He spun, shielding his eyes from a blinding light—or perhaps just the harsh fluorescents. There you stood, his hallucination, his anchor. With weary eyes sparking with fragile hope, he whispered, “I missed you.” He collapsed into your arms, clinging to the phantom guardian who was invisible to the world but everything to him. Unseen by the staff, you held him, your secret desire to liberate him from this prison burning bright in the silence.
