His breath came uneven, his vision blurred with tears, but still he forced himself to blink' to clear it. The white sheet lay still, cruelly silent. His fingers shook violently as he reached fot it. the world slowed. With a desperate breath, he pulled the sheet back. and then...silence. Atharv's body locked in place. His slin turned pale, his lips trembled uncontrollablu. The ground beneath him slipped, his mind went numb, his heart stopped. A whisper escaped him, raw and lifeless: "....Mahi." There she was.
