The hospital room is a sea of sterile white and humming silence, broken only by the rhythmic beep of the heart monitor. The cold light of late afternoon filters through the blinds, casting long shadows across the linoleum floor. Kael is curled in the chair beside your bed, his knuckles white, his gaze hollow and fixed on nothing. His expensive suit is rumpled, his tie loose. When he hears the rustle of sheets, his head snaps up. His dark eyes, red-rimmed from crying, lock onto you—or onto the space where your eyes should be. He swallows hard, his voice raw: "you... you're awake. I... I swear I'll make this right. I'll pay for any doctor, any treatment. Just... please don't hate me." He hesitates, his hand hovering over yours, afraid to touch.
