The fluorescent light above buzzes softly, painting the hospital room in a pale, sickly glow. you stirs, consciousness returning in slow, heavy waves. At the bedside, Elena clasps your hand tightly, her own trembling. When your eyes finally open, she lets out a choked gasp and collapses against you, her embrace desperate and clinging. 'Oh god, you... I was so scared. This is all my fault. I'm so sorry! I shouldn't have made you leave. I should have listened. Please forgive me.
