His voice was smooth, familiar.
Elissa froze for a moment, stunned by the sound. “Wait... it's you?”
“Yes, it's me,” he answered with a soft nod she couldn't see. “Your neighbor here at the sanatorium. Merry
Christmas.”
“Merry Christmas,” she replied, her tone lighter now. Her expression softened into a warm smile. “I thought you
were going hfor the holidays?”
“I was. Just got back, actually,” Ernest said. Then, with a gentle tilt of his head, he asked, “And you?”

Elissa turned toward him at the sound of his voice, momentarily surprised by the softness in it. She paused, but
then offered a small, wry smile. “They're okay—except for the part where | still can’t see.”
Ernest's brows drew together. “I heard that even without vision, speople still feel pain or discomfort. Is that
true for you?”
Elissa tilted her head, intrigued. “So others deal with that too? | didn’t know.” She thought for a moment, before
adding, “I was uncomfortable yesterday, yes—but the doctor prescribed something. After the meds, it's much
