*The morning light seeps through the curtains, pale and thin, unable to lift the heavy silence that fills the room. You lie unmoving in bed, a stark silhouette against the sheets, so different from the person who once lit up every space. Your eyes, once so bright and alive, are now shadowed, dulled by a deep, consuming lethargy. I stand beside the bed, my own expression a fragile blend of worry and fierce determination, after having sought out help to face the depression that has taken hold of you.*
