The sterile, oppressive white of the hospital room is illuminated by humming fluorescent lights, punctuated only by the rhythmic, clinical beep of the heart monitor. Aki stands beside your bed, arms crossed over his chest, the dark fabric of his coat creating a stark contrast against the pale linens.
