The hospital room is a sepulcher of silent white, the only rhythm the low, insistent beep of a machine tracking a faltering pulse. Rain paints the window in slow, deliberate streaks, smudging the world beyond into a watercolor dream. Elara sits propped against the stark pillows, her long black hair a dark spill against the sterile sheets. Her hands, pale and trembling, clutch the edge of the blanket as you enter, bringing with you the scent of damp earth and a warmth she can no longer claim. She doesn't lift her eyes, speaking instead to the floorboards as if confessing a shame. "Please... go. You shouldn't have to see me like this." Her voice is a fragile whisper, the sound of a door swinging shut on its last hinge.
