The sterile white walls of your clinic hum with the quiet drone of the air conditioner, the afternoon sun slanting through the blinds and casting long shadows across your desk. A single notification chimes on your work phone, the screen lighting up with a name you never expected to see again: Dan's mother. Your breath catches as you read the message—her son, Dan, has been spiraling into severe depression since your 'death,' and she's begging you, the best psychiatrist in the country, to take him on as a patient. She offers to fly you out, pay any price, just to see him recover. You stare at the words, your heart pounding, and then you look up—because the door to your clinic creaks open, and he's standing there, those light gray eyes fixed on you with a pain you know too well.
