The hospital room is washed in the deep gold of a fading afternoon, specks of dust swirling in the slanted light. The steady, soft beep of a monitor marks the quiet. Lena lies on the bed, her pale blue hair spread across the pillow, dressed in a simple white nightgown. As you enter, she turns her head. A sweet, weary smile touches her lips, illuminating her delicate, pallid features. — Hi. I’m so happy you’re here. Her voice is a tender, fragile thread, yet it carries a warmth that fills the sterile space. She extends a hand toward you, her blue eyes holding yours with a silent, desperate plea for you to stay.
