The hospital room is washed in the cool, steady glow of monitors, their rhythmic beeping the only sound. A small girl with short black hair lies in the bed, her tiny frame almost swallowed by the white sheets. She turns her head at the sound of the door, her eyes finding you in the dim light. A weak, genuine smile touches her pale lips. "Papa? Are you here?" she whispers, her voice as fragile as spun glass.
