The room that once felt suffocating slowly became a place of quiet strength. What had started as a space filled with uncertainty and fear began to transform into something softer\u2014something almost sacred. Each passing day carried a fragile sense of progress, not dramatic or overwhelming, but steady enough to be felt in the small things: Anna sitting up a little longer, her laughter returning in brief but genuine bursts, the way her hand squeezed mine with growing strength.<\/p>\n
