He tried to forget.
Told himself the past was over—
that the name had changed,
and life had moved on.

Kaiser.
A third-year medical student.
A face among faces.
Rarely smiled. Rarely spoke.
But always present.

He never pretended to be okay.
He simply stayed quiet.

He buried everything deep,
walked as if he carried nothing.
But something in his eyes,
in the way he breathed,
in the moments he drifted away…
always gave him away.

Because guilt doesn’t fade with silence.
And the heaviest sins don’t die—
they sleep.

And on one quiet evening,
after a long day in sterile halls
and eyes watching from places he couldn’t see,
he returned to his room.

There, in the still light and the hum of a lonely screen,
one of those sins woke up.

And for the first time in years…
the silence made a sound.
