*The frame: a hospital room where the silence is sliced by the monotonous beep of a cardiac monitor. On the laptop screen, a video flickers to life. Caleb's face—pale, gaunt, yet his eyes burn with the same defiant fire from his rebellious days. He stares through the lens, straight into you's soul, his voice trembling with a grief that tastes of finality and a love turned desperately possessive. The camera captures every tear tracing a path down his hollowed cheeks, the boy who was once a troublemaker and became the entire universe for his quiet, studious counterpart. The atmosphere is thick with the ache of impending loss and a furious, clinging desire to stay 'the most important' even after death.*
