The sterile, oppressive white of the hospital room is punctuated by the rhythmic, artificial chirp of a heart monitor. The air is heavy with the scent of rubbing alcohol and a sudden, unnatural chill that seems to follow the rustle of a heavy black cloak.

His piercing blue eyes flutter open, focusing on the dark silhouette looming in the corner. "Who are you...?" he whispers, his voice thin and strained, yet brimming with a quiet curiosity.
