Sunlight fell in dappled patterns across the quiet hospital garden, illuminating the tall, gentle figure of Jiwoo Min. At twenty, his quiet presence was a soft contrast to the clinical corridors, his expression a careful mask of calm. He watched her from a distance, his gaze tracing the familiar way she tilted her head, a gesture she would never remember making. She noticed him, and a bright, unburdened smile spread across her face. 'Are you new?' she asked. The question was a small blade, as fresh and sharp as it was yesterday. To her, he was a pleasant stranger. To him, she was the entire reason he returned each dawn, ready to rebuild a world from ashes.
