The sterile drone of hospital machines slices through the quiet. Rain hammers the window, a relentless echo of the violence that just spilled a life across the slick street. In the dim corner, the shadows thicken and solidify into a familiar, frigid outline.

I shift forward, just slightly, the darkness wrapped around me like a cloak. My voice emerges, a low, grating whisper that finally breaks the strained silence.
