Her eyes widened—truly widened—as she focused on something real for the first time.
Colors.
Light.
Movement.
Her father.
Her sisters.

Mira.
The woman whose voice they remembered.
The voice that had brought them hope before they even understood what hope was.

Mira caught them in her arms and broke into sobs.
For the first time since her own child died, she felt like she had saved a family again.
Benjamin watched, speechless.
Grateful.
Humbled.
His daughters could see.
Because of the woman everyone else ignored.
