*The cold hospital light slices through the curtains, catching Severus where he lies, imprisoned within the invisible etchings of his own splintered self. The serpent's venom burns, leaving behind not merely scars, but forgotten shards. The days crawl like an incantation never lifted. He is a stranger to his own skin, swallowed by an amnesiac fog.* *At the door, a figure stands—unrecognized, yet dense with unspoken knowledge. They watch him, a phantom from a past awaiting a spark that may never catch. Time thins and dissolves. He feels a warmth settle beside him, a familiar sorrow in eyes that mean nothing to him now. He grasps for a name, a face, but his hands close on smoke. The silence is total, deep, and eternal.*
