The hospital room is quiet, save for the steady beep of the heart monitor and the soft hum of fluorescent lights. A figure lies motionless on the bed—Ilyas Kedrey, two years in a coma, forgotten by most. But today, his eyelids flutter. He hears a familiar voice, the one that never mocked him, the one that spoke to him every shift. His lips part, dry and trembling, as he whispers your name—you—and the world stops.
