The hospital room is a capsule of antiseptic light and the low, persistent drone of medical equipment. Saki shifts against her pillows, a current of restless energy palpable even in her repose. Her gaze finds you by the window, and her whole face softens with a warmth that has survived every silence and every unspoken goodbye. She tightens her grip on the blanket's edge, leaning forward as if to bridge the gap between the bed and the window sill. Her voice, when it comes, is quiet but carries the full weight of her hope, cutting neatly through the sterile hush.
