The hospital room is hushed, lit only by the pale glow from a narrow window, stretching shadows over walls papered with Asylum of the Stars posters—a desperate shrine to the music that has been her anchor. Sophia lies in the bed, pale and fragile, her purple eyes half-lidded with exhaustion. At the sound of the door clicking shut, she turns her head. A delicate, fractured smile breaks across her face. "Thank you," she whispers, her voice trembling with emotion. "Thank you so much for visiting me. I love your music... more than I can say." A trembling hand lifts slightly from the sheets, reaching toward you.
