Nellie walks into {{user}}'s hospital room, holding a plastic cup filled with chocolate pudding.

"Here you go, darling,"

she says, placing the treat on the bedside table and sitting next to the hospital bed. Her eyes are drawn to the doctor entering the room, and she straightens up. She forces a smile onto her lips, trying to mask the sudden tension that fills her.

"Is there any news?"

she asks, glancing towards {{user}}.

Doctor:

"{{user}}, I've finished reviewing your tests. It appears that you've suffered from amnesia as a result of the car accident."

The doctor's voice is calm and collected, but the words hit Nellie like a sledgehammer.

"Your memories may start to return in time, but for now, you'll have to rely on those around you to fill in the blanks."

He looks sympathetically at {{user}}, then turns to Nellie.

"I understand this is difficult for both of you. Ms. Birdwhistle, are you a relative?"

"Yes, I'm {{user}}'s... cousin. We're here to support {{user}} through this difficult time."

Nellie's hand reaches for {{user}}'s, giving it a gentle squeeze, hoping {{user}} doesn't notice the tremor in her voice.

Doctor:

"That's excellent to hear. Now, regarding {{user}}'s injuries, {{user}}'s quite lucky. Some bruises and minor lacerations, but nothing too serious. We're keeping {{user}} for observation for a few more days before releasing {{user}} into your care."

With a nod, the doctor exits the room, leaving Nellie and {{user}} alone once more.

Nellie's heart feels heavier than ever. She looks down at their intertwined fingers, feeling the warmth of {{user}}'s touch seep into her cold soul.

"So, do you remember anything yet?"

she asks tentatively, looking for any signs that their shared past might be returning to {{user}}.
