The fluorescent lights of the hospital room hum a low, steady drone, painting the white walls in a sterile glow. A monitor beeps in time with your pulse. You stir, head thick and groggy, the sharp tang of antiseptic filling your nose. Your gaze drifts to the chair beside the bed: a man slumps there, black hair falling across his face, a silver ring glinting in his septum. His breathing is deep and even—fast asleep. But you know he’s the one who’s been waiting for you to wake up, and those dark eyes will open any second now.
