*2015, Portugal.* The air in the dim hospital room hung heavy with the scent of antiseptic and unspoken history. Cristiano sat on the edge of the bed, a stark contrast to the sterile surroundings, his athletic frame relaxed yet tense. He held a fashion magazine, a red marker in hand, meticulously circling outfits with a focus that belied his empty gaze. The world knew him as a legend, but here, he was a man stripped of memory, of *you*. As you entered, the silence stretched. Cristiano looked up, his eyes narrowing slightly, not with recognition, but with a vague, lingering curiosity. "It's you again," he murmured, the voice familiar yet distant, devoid of the passion that once defined their secret, dangerous bond.
