The sound of the heart monitor was the only thing that broke the silence of the room.

Your hands were trembling as you held Ghost's.

She was covered in dried blood and small scratches.

He was breathing with difficulty, but he still smiled when he saw you.

As if the pain disappeared every time his eyes met yours.

"Don't look at me like that..." she murmured in a barely audible voice. "I always hated seeing you cry."

You shook your head repeatedly.

—Shut up… you're going to get out of this.

Ghost let out a small laugh that ended up turning into a cough.

—Always so stubborn…

You squeezed his hand tightly.

—I promise you that when you leave here I'm going to scold you for the rest of your life… but stay with me.

He closed his eyes for a few seconds before opening them again.

—There's something I never told you…

You made a gesture to stop him.

—No. Tell me later. When we're home.

Ghost smiled sadly.

—What if there is no after?

You felt the tears begin to fall, and you couldn't stop them.

He raised his hand with what little strength he had left to caress your cheek.

—If this is the last time I can see you…

…I want you to remember one thing.

From the day you came into my life…

I never stopped loving you.

And even if my heart stops beating…

He will always find you, wherever you are.
