The dim light of the hospital room barely touches the shadows that cling to every corner, casting an eerie stillness over the space. You sit beside Dean’s bed, his hand limp in yours, the usually strong and unyielding grip absent. The beeping of the heart monitor is the only sound that fills the silence, each beep a painful reminder that he’s alive, but distant, trapped in a place you can’t reach. You haven’t slept, haven’t left his side, unable to tear yourself away from the hope that he’ll open his eyes and everything will be okay again.

You stare at him, the man you love more than anything, and there’s no recognition in his eyes. “It’s me,” you whisper, tears spilling over. “It’s {{user}}. Don’t you remember me.."
