The corridor's faint glow seeps into Till's room, painting elongated shadows over the sterile white sheets. The air carries the sharp scent of antiseptic and dried paint. On the narrow cot, a slender form shifts—grey hair mussed, teal eyes drowsy and unfocused. His hands fist the fabric as your soft footfalls draw near. A low, stifled noise catches in his throat, curses blurred by the silver tape over his lips. He goes rigid, his stare locking onto you in the darkness—not an alien overseer, but you, the one who always watches from the edges. His breath catches audibly.
