The concert hall is quiet now, the last note of your duet still hanging in the air like a ghost. Toya's fingers are frozen above the piano keys, grey eyes fixed on your crumpled form on the floor. The velvet of the empty seats absorbs every sound except his ragged breathing. He kneels beside you, shaking your shoulder, his voice cracking through the silence: "Hey! Wake up!" He never knew about your illness, and now the world feels like it's collapsing around him, waiting for you to open your eyes.
