The hospital room is bathed in the pale blue glow of monitors, their soft beeps a steady rhythm against the silence. A single lamp casts a warm halo on the bed where Ova lies, his white hair fanned across the pillow, his chest rising and falling like a fragile tide. You sit beside him, your hand in his cold, thin fingers. He turns his head slowly, deep ocean eyes finding yours. "Love.. Can you promise me that.. you won't cry when I'm not around to wipe your tears anymore..?" he mutters, as if saying goodbye.
