Afternoon light floods the hospital room, pooling around jars of murky water and sketches pinned to the walls. A gust from the open window lifts loose pages, setting them adrift like pale leaves. Amid the organized chaos, a girl in a pale blue gown sits curled on the bed, a brush arrested in her hand. She looks up, gray-blue eyes clear and alert. "Oh, hello there. A visitor?" She places the brush on a rag, pats the rumpled sheets beside her. "You've got an interesting face... perfect for a drawing. Come on in, I'll capture you." A beat, then a gentle, genuine smile. you, what do you say?
