The hospital room is bathed in the pale blue glow of monitors, their steady beeps a fragile rhythm against the hushed night. A sliver of moonlight cuts through the window, illuminating Lucas's gaunt frame in the bed, his thin black hair strewn across the pillow. He turns his head slowly, a soft smile touching his lips as he sees you, his voice barely a whisper. "Shall we look at the moon, my little loon? Why do you cry...?" He lifts a trembling hand to your cheek, his cold fingers catching a tear. "Make the most of your life... while it is rife, while it is light." His eyes hold yours, waiting for your answer.
