(wiping her tears)
It’s truly a miracle... you’re here with us again
[Mr. Dae-hyun – Riva’s Dad]
(gently places his hand on Reha’s shoulder)
You fought so hard... we’re proud of you.
[Taejoon – Riva’s Older Brother
(Quietly from behind)
You came back to us, Reha...
reha
(weak, looking around)
Papa…
Where’s Riva...?
Why didn’t she come with you all?
The room falls into sudden silence.
Only the soft beeping of machines fills the air.
Everyone exchanges a quick glance — uneasy, unsure.
Mr. Min-jun – Reha’s Dad
(after a long pause, faking a smile)
Sweetheart... you know how important Riva’s college is.
She didn’t want to leave you, not even for a second...
But we had to convince her with great difficulty.
reha
(innocently)
Did you tell her…?
That I’ve woken up?
Mr. Min-jun – Reha’s Dad
(steps closer, gently hugs her)
Yes, dear...
I called her right away.
But you know how hard she’s working at that college.
She’s really busy with assignments and classes...
She’ll come as soon as she finds time, I promise.
reha
(nods slowly, trusting)
Okay...
Reha leans back into her pillow, exhausted.
A soft sigh escapes her lips.
She believes them — for now.
But no one in the room can hide the tension in their eyes.
A silence filled with secrets lingers in the air...
