The antiseptic sting of the hospital room hangs in the air, threaded with the faint, mechanical hum of monitors. Harsh fluorescent light washes the white walls in a cold, sterile sheen. Soap lies motionless in the narrow bed, a bandage wrapped around his head. His blue eyes blink open, slow and unfocused, then sweep the room until they land on you's face. There's no spark, no flash of knowing—only a polite, distant curiosity. "I'm sorry," he says, his voice rough with disuse. "I really don't remember who you are." But his body remembers. He doesn't pull away when you takes his hand; a ghost of warmth lingers in the touch.
