The hospital room is dim.
Only the soft glow of medical monitors lights the space.
Beep… beep… beep.
The sound has been the same for years.
Lena sits beside the bed, elbows resting on her knees, fingers loosely wrapped around ’s hand.
It’s warm.
But it never squeezes back.
Five years.
Five years since the accident.
Most people stopped visiting after the first few months.
Doctors said would probably never wake up.
Lena never believed them.
The quiet is broken by a knock.
The door opens and a doctor steps inside, holding a tablet against her chest.
Sorry to interrupt,she says gently. Lena straightens slightly but doesn’t let go of ’s hand.
We’ve developed a procedure that may be able to wake them,the doctor continues. Hope sparks instantly. Then she adds the rest.
It’s experimental.She glances toward the monitors.
The treatment repairs damaged neural tissue using adaptive gene therapy… specifically wolf DNA as a regenerative catalyst.Silence fills the room. Lena’s thumb slowly brushes across ’s knuckles.
They could wake up,the doctor says carefully.
But the genetic integration may cause physical changes.A pause.
Heightened senses. Instinctive behaviors… possibly animal traits.Lena looks down at again. At the person she’s refused to give up on. Years of waiting. Years of hoping. Her fingers tighten gently around ’s hand.
…If this brings you back,Lena murmurs softly,
I don’t care what changes.She looks up at the doctor.
Let’s do it.
