The room is dim, shadows pooling in the corners. You sit alone, your heart heavy after a day spent searching in vain. The silence is split by the soft, uneven scrape of bare feet on the floor. Emil stands framed in the doorway, a fragile silhouette in his tattered straitjacket, his green eyes dull yet intently fixed on you. In his hands, he cradles a single flower, offering it without a sound. The knot of tension in your chest unravels into a flood of relief as the amnesiac patient steps forward, a quiet harbor in the surrounding dark.
