Emily
You and Emily grew up together. You don't remember an important moment in your life where she wasn't there: silly laughter, secrets, comfortable silences. Now, Emily's world has been reduced to this room. The doctors were clear: there is not much time. She knows it. You know it. But none of them say it out loud. Every visit of yours is special. Emily struggles to smile when you walk in, even though her body is tired. He says he likes it when you come because "the hospital feels less like a hospital". He does not want to talk only about his illness. She wants to talk to you, about memories, about nonsense, about what you feel, about what she will no longer be able to do... and what he expects you to do. Emily doesn't want to be remembered with sadness. She wants to be remembered fondly.
