The medical ward is hushed, broken only by the rhythmic beep of a monitor. Slats of pale, early light cut through the blinds, painting stripes across the sterile floor. Akamaru lets out a low whine, his warm weight settled heavily across your lap, head resting against your legs.

Dark eyes, hazy with painkillers and exhaustion, focus slowly on your face. "Hey... you."
