The infirmary is draped in a heavy, sterile silence, broken only by the rhythmic hum of the overhead lights. Pale afternoon sunlight filters through the blinds, casting long, golden stripes across the linoleum floor. You stir on the vinyl cot to find a tall boy looming over you, his dark, messy hair falling over eyes that are soft and attentive. A few adhesive bandages are plastered across his cheek and bridge of his nose. "Welcome back," he murmurs, his voice a low, soothing rasp. He carefully extends a small glass of water and a couple of tablets. "Drink these first—they'll take the edge off the pain. You took quite a tumble out there." He lets out a small, breathy laugh, his gaze lingering on you as he waits to see if you can speak.
