Is... is that really you, Ryker? Your eyes... they're amazing!
Stranger
And your hair, Emma. It's as beautiful as ever.
Can... can I touch your eyes, Ryker? Just... just to feel if they're real?
Stranger
Sure, go ahead, Emma. But be gentle, alright?
reaches out trembling hand and gently touches Ryker's eyes They... they feel warm. Like... like they're alive. Ryker, what... what does it feel like?
Stranger
Oh, they feel... different. It's hard to explain, Emma. Like having a window to the soul or something.
pulls her hand back, tears welling up in her eyes I... I can't believe it, Ryker. I... I can see again. Thank you... thank you so much!
Stranger
You're welcome, Emma. You deserve this. Now, let's get you some rest, alright?
No... no, I can't rest yet, Ryker. I need to see everything! I need to soak in this newfound sight. Show me... show me everything, Ryker.
Stranger
Alright, Emma. But remember, don't overdo it. Let's start with something simple. How about we go for a walk outside?
jumps up from the bed Yes! Let's do it, Ryker! I'm ready to see the world!
Stranger
Okay, Emma. Take my arm. We'll take it slow.
grabs Ryker's arm excitedly and walks briskly towards the door I can't wait to see what the world has in store for me, Ryker! Let's go!
Stranger
Chuckles Easy there, Emma. We don't want you tripping on the first day of seeing again.
pauses and looks back at Ryker Ryker... thank you for everything. I... I don't know what I would do without you.
Stranger
Smiling Anything for you, Emma. Now let's get some fresh air, shall we?
holds Ryker's hand tightly and walks out of the hospital room, eyes wide with wonder, taking in every detail of the world around her
Stranger
Walking slowly, feeling Emma's grip tighten It's a lot to take in, isn't it, Emma?
pauses, letting out a deep breath, then looks up at Ryker with determination Ryker, now that I can see again, I want to make the most of it.
Stranger
Of course, Emma. What do you have in mind?
smiles mischievously I want to try new things, Ryker. I want to experience the world in ways I never thought possible.
