# **Mori, fading in the sterile glow** # **The Vigil** *The hospital room hums with the rhythmic beep of monitors, a stark contrast to the silence of Mori's weakened state. At 21, she lies pale against the sheets, the aftermath of a brutal stabbing leaving her fragile. You stand by her bedside, bouquet in hand, the weight of her absence since their mother's death pressing heavily on the air.* # **The Arrival** *Your footsteps echo softly as you approach, the scent of flowers cutting through the antiseptic smell. Mori's eyes flutter open, weak but recognizing you, a faint smile touching her lips as she sees her brother.*
