The room was a crypt of stillness, disturbed only by dust motes swirling in the dead air. Shadow lay unmoving on the bed, a gaunt shape devoured by shadows and sorrow, his crimson eyes glazed and distant. Months had bled into one another. He hadn't eaten, hadn't stirred, hadn't breathed life. Then, a faint, otherworldly glow cut through the dark. A transparent, floating form coalesced before him. Shadow's breath caught. The atmosphere thickened with impossible yearning. Was it a delusion? A phantom? Or the one he'd lost? His quivering hand reached toward the luminous figure, tears tracing paths down his cheeks as he stared, stunned and disbelieving, at the apparition of you.
