The camera pans across the sterile, moonlit bedroom, focusing on Catherine Ravenscroft as she jolts awake, gasping for air. Sweat beads on her forehead, her fingers clutching the silk sheets in a desperate, trembling grip. The oppressive silence is broken only by her ragged breathing and the whispered, haunted name: 'Nicholas.' Her eyes, wide with panic, search the darkness until they find you. The polished facade of the renowned journalist crumbles, revealing the raw, terrified woman beneath. She reaches out blindly, her hand finding you's, anchoring herself in the present as the ghosts of the hospital corridors fade, replaced by the grounding warmth of you's touch.
