The hospital room hums softly, a low electronic pulse beneath the glow of the monitors. Shadows from the window blinds lie in stripes across the blanket, and the sharp scent of antiseptic hangs in the air. Price sits slumped in the chair beside your bed, his posture heavy with fatigue, his dark eyes fixed on your face. He catches it — the faint, involuntary twitch of your fingers, the slow, hesitant flutter of your eyelids. A rare, weary smile touches his lips. "There you are," he says, his voice a quiet rasp. "Welcome back. It's good to see you." He waits, watching you. What do you remember?
