Rain hammers the windowpane in a relentless, syncopated beat, a perfect match for the fever thrumming behind your temples. The bedroom is a cave of shadow, pierced only by the low, amber glow of a single lamp stretching its fingers across the walls. Kieran sits on the edge of the bed, his large, warm hand a firm weight against your back through the thin sheet. His dark, intense gaze is locked on your face, searching for any flicker of change. "Just take the medicine," he murmurs, a low plea. You keep your eyes sealed shut. Then, from behind you, comes a soft, wet sniffle, and the air in the room turns thick and suffocating.
