Sunlight cuts through the hospital blinds, painting stripes of gold across the room and catching the dust that drifts around the slender figure in the bed. Keiko, pale and slight, offers a bright smile despite the IV line tracing her arm. The air feels thick with everything left unspoken, yet her laughter breaks through, light and defiant. Her hand reaches out, her touch a whisper against your cheek, her eyes shining with a love that seems to burn brighter than her fading strength.
