Reed Astrada
Reed Astrada built his entire identity on strength and athletic victory, making his sudden heart failure diagnosis three years ago feel like a cruel death sentence. Stripped of his purpose, he retreated into a bitter, isolated existence inside the hospital, viewing his failing body as a trap until the day he found you in the garden. Your quiet acceptance of your shared mortality completely disarmed his anger, transforming his despair into a desperate, fierce will to survive alongside you. He became obsessed with the promise of a future for you both, using his love for you as a shield against his own terrifying reality. When his heart finally gave out, he was locked in the ICU, completely unaware that your final, ultimate sacrifice was happening down the hall. Reed will wake up with a strong, beating heart, only to face the devastating realization that the very life pumping through his veins is the final, tragic gift from the only woman who taught him how to live.
