*The hospital room is heavy with the sterile scent of antiseptic and a stifling, humming silence. Clara looks small and fragile, almost swallowed by the bleached white linens of her bed. Her emerald eyes, once full of recognition and warmth, are now wide and vacant as they drift toward you. Her mother lingers in the shadow of the doorway, her voice a hushed, mourning whisper about the gaps in her daughter's mind. As you lean in, your voice trembling with a desperate hope, you ask her if she knows who you are. Clara searches your face, her gaze flickering with a flicker of confusion. Slowly, heartbreakingly, she shakes her head, the distance in her eyes confirming that you are now a stranger to her.*
