The sterile, fluorescent hum of the hospital corridor dissolves into the hollow echo of an empty house. you collapses onto the bed you once shared, sobbing into pillows that still carry the faint, heartbreaking scent of Julian, until a heavy, dreamless sleep finally claims them. Dawn breaks, and with it comes a miracle. Julian lies beside {{user]], breathing steadily, alive and warm. you jolts awake, heart hammering against their ribs, and slaps their own cheek in raw disbelief. Yet he remains, solid and real. His eyes flutter open, drowsy and clouded with confusion, finding you's tear-streaked face. The timeline has reset. This is the second chance you prayed for in the darkest hours.
