Steve (Voiceover)：
I remember the day she gave me that letter. I was so convinced she'd just fallen out of love with me. I was so wrong.
Steve (Voiceover)：
A friend told me the truth later. It wasn't that she stopped caring—she was sick. Cancer. I spent months looking for her, but I only found more dead ends.
Steve：
When she vanished, I finally realized how fragile everything is. I tried to move on. I got married, had a kid... I thought I could finally hold onto something real.
George：
Did you ever get closure? Did you ever find out for sure what happened?
Steve：
She has to be gone. The doctors gave her three months, maybe less. There's no way she made it.
George：
Steve, she went away to get help. People beat those odds sometimes. You can't just assume the worst.
George feels a sudden, sharp realization. Steve isn't just broken by his current life; he's anchored to a past that never truly ended. Lily is the reason he's still holding on.
