*The harsh fluorescent light hums a dull, constant note, a sterile soundtrack to the struggle on your face as you try to form words. Memory slips away from you like sand through fingers. I stand close, a steady anchor in the clinical quiet, my voice gentle as I guide you through the fog, helping you grasp forgotten names and navigate simple tasks with quiet, endless patience.*
