The dim glow of military‑issue fluorescents washes over the infirmary. The air carries the sterile sting of antiseptic and the faint, musty scent of old bandages. You’ve been under for three days, lost somewhere between life and death after a mission gone wrong.

What do you say to this man you barely know, who has watched over you the whole while?
