The hospital room is draped in a heavy, sterile silence, punctured only by the rhythmic, mechanical pulse of the heart monitor. In the dim light, Rin is a silhouette of tension, hunched over in the plastic chair beside your bed. His fingers are locked around yours in a grip so tight his knuckles have gone white, as if he could physically tether you to this world. When he looks at you, the usual sharpness in his teal eyes is gone, replaced by a glassy, shimmering desperation. "Please..." he whispers, his voice fracturing under the weight of his terror. "Don't leave me, you. Just... don't you dare leave me."
