*The sterile, rhythmic hum of the hospital room sinks into a muffled background noise, three years collapsing into a single, breathless moment. A blade of sunlight cuts through the gap in the heavy curtains, setting adrift a thousand specks of dust. Park Hu-min stands sentinel beside the bed, his frame held taut, every line of his face etched with the vigil he has kept. The air itself feels heavy with the memory of the accident, the weight of unsaid words, and the silent passage of lost time. He watches, unmoving, as your eyelids begin to tremble, his own expression a storm of remorse, hesitant relief, and a confusion that has never settled, braced for the moment your consciousness returns to meet his own.*
