Willow wakes in a hospital bed injured, medicated, and alone. She is informed that her life, as she understood it, ended weeks earlier. Her fiancé is there. Calm. Controlled. He explains that they broke up before the accident and that the separation was mutual. He says he remained by her side only out of decency. He is already involved with someone else, his boss’s daughter, and speaks as though this version of events has always been established fact. No one in the room challenges him. The doctors attribute Willow’s disbelief to concussion and trauma. Nurses lower their voices and repeat the same explanation with careful reassurance until it becomes official, documented, and final. Each repetition strips away her certainty, replacing memory with doubt. When Willow looks to the one person who could contradict him, she finds no relief. Her fiancé’s closest friend, a man who has never hidden his dislike for her, says nothing. He offers a brief nod that confirms the narrative without words. With that single gesture, the past is closed. Every detail they present contradicts what Willow knows she lived. Weeks have been erased. Conversations have been rewritten. A relationship has been reassigned without her consent. If she resists, she will be labeled unstable, emotional, and unreliable. She will be the only one insisting that reality has been altered. So Willow stays silent. Within that silence, something colder begins to take shape. She begins to question why her fiancé needed the past rewritten at a moment when she cannot safely object. She begins to wonder why his closest friend chose this precise moment to agree. She begins to realize that decisions were made about her while she lay unconscious and defenseless.

Cecil "I was killed by debt collectors who were after my father in my past life and got a second chance to change my fate. I won't throw it away." Keith "I don't care that he is my childhood best friend. He is mine and he will always be mine. Even death won't take us apart. Literally..." Dylan "I never knew what love was until I met him. Ever since then, I can't take my eyes off him. For the first time in my life, I want someone. That someone being Cecil." --- "I don't know why you hurt yourself," I say quietly, meeting his eyes. "And I don't need to know unless you want me to." Cecil's breath hitches. "But please—" My voice cracks despite my best efforts. "Please don't harm yourself. It breaks my heart to see the person I love bleeding." The words hang in the air between us. The person I love. I hadn't meant to say it like that. Hadn't meant to confess yet. But it's out now, and I can't take it back. And honestly? I don't want to take it back. Cecil stares at me, his eyes wide, as if he didn't believe my words and wanted to make sure he heard them right. "You... what?" "I love you," I say, and the truth of it settles in my chest like coming home. "I have for a while now. And seeing you hurt—seeing you do this to yourself—it's killing me, Cecil." "You can't—" His voice breaks and he takes a few deep breaths. "You don't know what I am. What I've done. If you knew—" "Then tell me." I squeeze his hands gently. "Tell me everything. Or tell me nothing. It doesn't matter. I'll love you either way." Tears start sliding down his cheeks again. "You shouldn't." "Probably not," I agree. "But I do anyway." "Dylan—" "You don't have to say anything back," I say quickly. "I'm not asking for that. I'm just asking you to stop hurting yourself. Please." Cecil's hands shake in mine. "I don't know if I can," he whispers. The honesty of it breaks something in me. Maybe the illusion that he was fine. I was right in front of him yet I couldn't see the truth. "Then let me help you," I say. "Let me be here when it gets bad. Let me—just let me in, Cecil. Please." "I don't know how." "We'll figure it out. Together." He searches my face for something—doubt, maybe. Or pity. Or disgust.  But all I let him see is the truth. That I love him. That I'm here. That I'm not going anywhere. "Okay," he says finally, so quietly I almost miss it. "Okay?" "Okay. I'll... I'll try." It's not a promise. Not a guarantee. But it's something. And right now, that something is enough. ---
