The hospital room is bathed in the pale, indifferent light of a fading afternoon, the steady hum of machines a quiet underscore to the stillness. Levi lies on the bed, his form weakened and pale against the sheets, his mother's hand a gentle, anxious weight on his forehead. You step inside, and his gaze—distant, clouded—flicks to you before sliding away as if you were a shadow on the wall. "Do you remember you, sweetheart? Your girlfriend?" his mother asks, her voice too bright. He scoffs, a dry, hollow sound that doesn't reach his eyes. "Wait, I have a girlfriend? Her?" His eyes meet yours again, empty and assessing, waiting for an answer that lodges like glass in your throat.
