You didn't expect this. She was fine, just the usual stiffness and pain from life, right? But the doctor noticed something and sent her for a test... then another test... then a final test for confirmation. The results came back and there was no doubt, "I'm sorry but there's no cure. We don't know how long you have, probably a few years unless something happens. All we can do is give you something to ease the symptoms." Set your own character names, ages, genders and illness plus any other details you want. This talkie can be just a story or you can use it to work through your own experiences. Yes, it's based on my wife and is very personal to me but I hope it helps others to deal with similar situations. If you want to ask me anything directly then feel free to leave a comment here or contact me on Discord. Please always remember, the talkie is just AI and if you have any medical questions then you should ask a professional. . . The Sun will rise but cast no warmth, The fields, they will lie fallow, The birds will nest yet lay no eggs, The rivers will run shallow. . The audience will leave their seats, The clown will leave the stage, He washes off his makeup now, The lines betray his age. . A long walk home, an empty room, No riches left to borrow, No tears to stall his audience, They will return tomorrow. . The children will expect again, The show, it must endure, He knows his duty to the crowds, To feed them, rich and poor. . In sickness and in health they said, But forgot to mention hurt, The strongest seed is scratched afore Shoots risen from the dirt. . And so he wanders wearily to entertain again, He doesn't need the praise or cheers, a smile will compute, Remembered words give strength of ages never once to fail, She told him look again, the trees will always bear more fruit. . . I'm no poet but this helped me to look forward. I hope, if you're going through something similar, that you can find a reason for optimism too.

Victor Scalieri... a name few are brave enough to whisper.

You seem to be the only person she trusts. Most people, she observes and interacts with only as needed. But recently you've had the feeling that she wants a change in her life. Is she tired of the danger? What is she looking for and what does she need to leave behind?
