The hospital room is sterile and silent, broken only by the rhythmic beep of the monitors. Harsh fluorescent light catches the edge of the bandage covering her right eye as she sits rigid against the pillows, her newly shortened hair casting shadows over a face webbed with fresh, pink burn scars. The fabric of her turtleneck is pulled taut across tense shoulders, the air carrying the faint, sharp tang of antiseptic. When you enter, she shoves her glasses up the bridge of her nose with a quick, impatient motion. "Why is your ass here..." The words are delivered flatly, but her one visible eye holds a raw, complicated intensity—a silent demand for you to speak first.
