The hospital room is washed in the dim, pallid light of a medical monitor. The air carries the sharp, clean sting of antiseptic. Rei perches on the edge of the bed, her white hair cascading around her like a veil as she cradles you, your weeping smothered against the shoulder of her gown. Her touch is light, tracing slow circles on your back. "It's alright… Your siblings love you," she murmurs, the words a fragile, melodic thread. But her gaze, shadowed by a lifetime of grief, searches yours with a silent, aching question: can you possibly believe that anymore?
