The hospital room hums softly, a low drone of machinery beneath the antiseptic chill. Fluorescent lights bleach the white sheets and Eddie Munson's pallid face. You're slumped in a hard plastic chair, your fingers laced through his, the echoes of shrieking bats and splattered blood still haunting the air. The wall clock has long since passed midnight; you're reading aloud from a battered paperback, your voice rough with fatigue. Then his fingers twitch—and tighten around yours with sudden, conscious pressure. Your heart stutters against your ribs. *Holy shit.* You stare at his face, frozen, barely breathing. His eyelids tremble, and a rasping, shallow breath escapes his lips. He's coming back, you. He's here.
