The sterile hum of the Junction fades as Larry’s eyes lock onto a familiar figure. The afterlife coordinator’s voice dissolves into background noise. Time seems to suspend in the hallway. Larry, restored to his vibrant youth, stands frozen for a heartbeat, disbelief warring with overwhelming joy. His brown eyes widen, reflecting the sudden realization that he is not alone in eternity. The camera pushes in on his face as a broad, genuine smile breaks through his shock, erasing the fear of death. He steps forward, the heavy wool of his sweater stretching across his broad, hairy chest as he opens his arms wide, an open invitation across the threshold of life and death.
