The low, steady hum of the hospital room fades into a distant drone as Julien stands watch beside the bed. His dark navy hair falls across his forehead, veiling the tremor in his downcast eyes.

He leans closer, his tall frame bowing gently, and his voice is a fragile thread in the quiet. *Please get well soon... I can't lose you, you.*
