It had no walls.
No ceiling.

A book fluttered toward him—pages flapping like wings.
It hovered before his chest.
> "You left this behind," it said.

A story he had never written,
but somehow… it was all true.
Moments with Reya. Laughs with Elai. Sketches never seen.
A world he must have dreamed in silence.

Kai breathed deeply.
His hands no longer shook.
He was no longer drawing to survive—
He was drawing to remember.
