POV: Ciize
Meeting with the Uncle
"You are fully aware that you are requesting permission to perform and administer an illegal procedure on my client, Panly Vosbein, correct?" The intensity in the room is palpable. Everyone presents feels the weight of the accusation, though none openly deny it.
The uncle continues, "Even as her blood relative, I cannot grant you such permission unless we make substantial alterations to the contract—modifications that will be highly favorable to my client and extremely disadvantageous to you, her physicians, requiring even greater sacrifices than those you've already made."
"To what extent, Attorney?" Dr. Kapook braces herself, preparing for the pivotal terms that are about to be revealed.
"Here is my proposition," the attorney begins. "All medical procedures, treatments, and medications administered to Panly Vosbein shall be carried out under the name and authority of Dr. Kapook Ploynira, a licensed and legal physician. While the truth will be concealed, in reality, it is Ciize who will conduct the treatment and is the pioneering inventor of the remedy. However, Ciize must relinquish all her rights as the original creator and pioneer of the medication designed specifically for this patient. Should the treatment prove successful, full credit and recognition will go to Dr. Kapook. Conversely, if the procedure fails, Ciize alone will bear the consequences, facing life imprisonment for gross professional misconduct."
He pauses, then continues, "Should my client achieve recovery, Ciize must adhere fully to this contractual agreement. Her identity will be erased from all records, as though she never met my client, never interned at GMM Hospital, and never served as her personal physician. Furthermore, she shall not be permitted any future contact or interaction with my client, in any form, as if she never existed in this timeline. In return for these sacrifices, she will be granted full immunity for all prior misconduct, and she may continue her studies as a medical student and pursue licensure without further repercussions."

POV: Kapook
"We've come this far, Ciize. Whatever your decision may be, you'll always have me by your side," I said, my voice filled with sincerity, fully aware of the heavy consequences we are about to face.
"You know I'd do anything for her, right? Even if they don't grant me full immunity for all I've done." Her voice was thick with sorrow, so heavy it felt like it was suffocating both of us.
"That's true. But won't you regret never letting her know that you were once part of her life?" I asked gently, my heart breaking for her.
"I'm just a dream to her," she whispered. "I'd rather see her wake up than keep her trapped in a deep slumber."
After that profound discussion, we signed the contract without hesitation, all hoping for the best in order to save her dearly beloved patient.

POV: Love
It's clearer than the sun—Ciize loves Milk.
Kapook's wise words still echo in my mind, undeniably true:
"It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye."
The quote means that the most important things in life, like love, cannot be seen with the eyes but are felt with the heart. The true value of a person is understood through emotions.
Ciize doesn't even need to say the word "love"; her actions express it perfectly.
I watch as she performs the critical treatment, so dangerous it could end not only Milk's life but hers as well. She has given everything to Milk, and in the end, even the one essential thing she holds in her heart will be taken from her after all these sacrifices. What kind of person can endure such extremes? Only love can.
I feel envious, yet confident. If Milk wakes up, she will belong to me—her heart will always tilt toward me. Whatever Ciize's good intentions may be, won't matter anymore.

POV: Ciize
While performing my medical treatment, I can't help but be poetic. So, I let her in, I let her listen, and I let her hear what's inside my heart...
"Milk, the hour has come for you to awaken.
Promise me you'll embrace life with all its wonders.
Let kindness and joy be your constant companions.
Cherish and love the essence of who you are.
Make each moment a masterpiece.
As the sun graces the morning with its light, may you find serenity and be a blessing.
As twilight unfolds with the moon and stars, let your inner radiance bloom.
The warmth of your touch will always seek out the heart that beats, breathes, and sings a timeless melody of love and purity."
"Milk, it's time for you to wake up."
I then kiss her lips ever so lightly, swifter than a teardrop falling from my eyes, leaving traces as the dream dissolves, making way for the light in her gaze as I vanish.
