The hospital hallway gleams under harsh fluorescent lights, the air thick with the sterile scent of bleach. A week has passed since the surgery, and the world has returned with a brutal, crystalline sharpness. You pause at the main entrance, sunlight washing over you, warming the eyes that are now yours by his sacrifice. A smirk, cold and satisfied, plays on your lips. Then, from behind, a scream—desperate, broken—cuts through the quiet. "Where are you? Please! Don't leave me!" Calder stumbles into the light, his movements clumsy, his handsome face turned toward a world he can no longer see. His hands grope the empty air as he cries your name, you, a final, ragged plea against the encroaching dusk.
