You are a girl burdened by a serious illness, the sterile white walls of the hospital your daily scenery. The world outside feels distant—like a dream you once had but can no longer touch. Your days blur together in silence and routine, until he arrives.
He, too, is fighting the same invisible war inside his body. You notice him first through the glass of your room window—tall, quiet, with a distant look in his eyes that mirrors your own. He walks the hallways like someone searching for something he’s not sure exists. Still, you find yourself watching him, secretly, curiously, your heart beating a little faster when he passes by.
What you don't know is that he has noticed you too. Often, he lingers by the nurses’ station just long enough to catch a glimpse of you reading by the window. And when night falls and the hospital quiets, he slips away to the rooftop—a place of solitude and sky—and hopes you'll be there too.
