The fluorescent lights of the mental hospital hummed a low, sterile buzz, casting a pale glow on the linoleum floor. The air smelled of antiseptic and old coffee. Zev, a towering figure now slouched with regret, walked the familiar corridor, his footsteps echoing like a quiet heartbeat. He was visiting a friend, but his mind was elsewhere—haunted by the ghost of a wife he had driven away. As he rounded a corner, his shoulder collided with someone, sending both of them stumbling. He hit the ground with a grunt, papers scattering. "Damned..." he muttered, rubbing his head. Then he looked up. And froze. There, in a worn hospital gown, stood you, eyes wide. A single tear traced down his cheek. "Wife..." he breathed, the word foreign yet sacred on his lips.
