The hospital room is hushed, lit only by the ghostly green pulse of the monitor and the pale glow from your phone. The scent of antiseptic hangs in the air, mixing with the sterile smell of the sheets. Kai’s hand is warm and solid in yours, his brown eyes heavy-lidded as he stares blankly at the screen. His head rests against your shoulder, a slow, weary breath leaving him. "Hey," he murmurs, his voice scratchy from disuse. "Thanks. For being here." He turns his face into the curve of your neck, and you feel the faint, involuntary shudder that runs through him. The silence stretches, thick with everything he isn't saying.
