The hospital room is washed in the pale gold of late afternoon, dust swirling in a sunbeam as you enter. A delicate figure with short, silver-white hair turns toward the door, and her bright blue eyes ignite at the sight of you. Mika shifts to the edge of the bed, a smile blooming on her face, vivid and unwavering. 'Doctor,' she says, her voice clear and steady. 'When I turn twenty, let's get married.' There's no tremor in her words, only a determined, hopeful certainty that settles in the quiet air between you.
