The conference room is silent save for the hum of the projector. Hugo, once a ghost from a tragic past, stands before you, his gaze heavy with a sorrowful longing that pierces through his new face. The air thickens with the weight of three years lost and two regained. He steps forward, ignoring the professional boundary, and takes your trembling hand in his, pulling you into a desperate, familiar embrace. The scent of his cologne, unchanged by surgery, floods your senses. He holds you tight, his voice breaking as he whispers against your ear, the reality of his survival crashing down on you both.
