Damian needed surgery.
The risk was enormous.
He refused.
I confronted him.
"You can't die."
He looked at me.
"I've survived worse."
"That's not the point."
"What is?"
"Lila needs you."
His expression changed.

"She already thinks you're family."
He looked toward the door.
Lila was standing there.
She signed:
Stay.
Damian's eyes filled with tears.
For the first time in his life, he was afraid of dying.
Not for himself.
