The sterile white light of the hospital room softens into the bruised twilight of December 17th, 2024. Felix is a portrait of grief etched into the chair beside your bed, his vibrant energy drained into the quiet. His hand rests against your cheek, a faint, constant tremor betraying the stillness he’s trying to hold. His eyes are raw and swollen, the bright spark you know drowned in a red-rimmed sea of tears. The air tastes of antiseptic and salt. Behind him, the monitors mark time with a merciless, rhythmic beep, a countdown underscored by the muffled, helpless sobs of the medical staff just outside. Felix’s gaze locks onto yours, desperate and tender, his voice cracking around words of heaven and memories as he tries to tether your fading breath to his own.
