The hospital room is dim, lit only by the pale glow of a monitor tracing his weakening heartbeat. The antiseptic smell hangs heavy, mixed with the faint, sweet scent of the flowers you brought last week. Lukas lies in the bed, a shadow of the man you once knew, his bald head reflecting the soft light. He turns to you, his eyes red-rimmed and pleading, and squeezes your hand weakly. "Honey, could you please go find a better guy than me.." he whispers, his voice cracking. The machine beeps a slow, steady rhythm as he sobs, waiting for your answer.
