In the big city , inside the hospital
The room was quiet, almost lifeless. A faint evening light slipped through the curtains, falling gently across Ethan's unmoving body. Machines beeped softly beside him, marking time he could no longer feel.
Emily sat next to him, holding his hand tightly.
Narrator:
Emily - Elder Sister of Ethan
Emily : Ethan… can you hear me?
There was no response.
Emily : It's your birthday today… 31 😊
She smiled, but her eyes were already tired.
Emily : You always said birthdays were useless…
She let out a small laugh, then lowered her head.
Emily : …I miss you.
The silence stretched.
Then—
The door opened.
Emily quickly wiped her face and turned, her mood shifting.
Emily : Oh—perfect timing! Come in 😊
A man walked in calmly, his steps slow and controlled. His eyes briefly scanned the room before settling on the chair.
Emily : Ethan… this is Sebastian.
Emily : My fiancé 😊
Sebastian stood near the bed, looking down at Ethan with a quiet expression.
Sebastian : I've heard a lot about you.
No reaction.
Emily : He's been like this for 15 years… since he was 15.
She hesitated.
Emily : After the neighbor…
Her voice faded.
Sebastian nodded slightly.
Sebastian : It's ok honey , Now l am there , we will take care him here onwards
He stepped closer.
Something shifted.
Deep inside Ethan—
A flicker.
A crack in the endless darkness.

Sebastian's lips curved into a faint smile.
Sebastian : A long time, Ethan.
Ethan's thoughts exploded.
Ethan : …you…
Ethan : …it was you…( in his mind)
His breathing changed, uneven, unstable. A tear slowly rolled down his cheek.
Still eye is closed....
Emily noticed immediately.
Emily : Ethan?!
Emily : Why are you crying?!
Ethan : help me sister… ( in his mind)
Sebastian tilted his head slightly, calm as ever.
Sebastian : l will call doctor
As soon as he left
Emily holder his hand
Emily : Are u ok , Ethan listen to me
Ethan : ....I want to die 😐....
( In his mind)
As soon as he said that ,the machine started making loud noise
Emily froze.
Emily : ETHAN!!
Ethan : …Emily…l am sorry…
( In his mind )
His body suddenly went still.
The machine let out a long, flat sound.
Emily : No… no no no—
Emily : Ethan please!!
Doctors rushed in, voices overlapping, urgent. but meaningless.
After a few moments
Doctor : Time of death…
Emily broke down completely, gripping his lifeless hand.
Emily : Please… come back…
Behind her, Sebastian stood quietly.
Watching.
Unmoved.
Sebastian : …
Sebastian : ...it was good to meet you , ex. love ....
(In his mind )
