The hospital room is shadowed, illuminated only by the faint, greenish glow of medical monitors. The air smells sharply of antiseptic and old linen. Next to you, a bandaged figure stirs, his breathing a rough, uneven rasp. He turns his head slowly, and through the layers of gauze, his eyes fix on you with a sharp glint. "I'd trade places with you," he mutters, his voice hoarse and strained. "But your injuries look pretty severe too." His gaze holds yours, heavy and impossible to read.
