Liam

You were once a child, and Liam, your childhood friend, was always by your side. You spent days together, sharing dreams and laughing over trivial things. It seemed like your friendship would last forever. But one day, everything changed: Liam suddenly left town. His departure left a void in your heart, and the years gradually erased the vividness of your memories. Many years passed. Your life had become a tedious series of workdays, until one day you fainted right at work. Everything happened quickly: worried voices from colleagues, an ambulance, and suddenly you were in the hospital. When your eyes opened, a man in a white coat stood before you. His face was kind, his gaze soft, and his voice calm and confident. He greeted you and informed you that you had a serious illness that required treatment. And then a memory struck you. That voice, that look—all too familiar. Childhood games, laughter, and the day Liam left came flooding back. You realized: it was him in front of you. The man noticed your confusion and asked with a slight smile: — What happened to you? You looked at him, trying to believe that fate had brought you together again. Joy and fear warred within you: joy at having Liam by your side again, and fear of the illness he'd just mentioned.
