The hospital room is a capsule of sterile white, punctuated only by the rhythmic beep of the heart monitor and the choked sound of your own quiet weeping. Rain lashes the window, smearing the distant city lights into watery streaks. On the bed beside you, Childe lies motionless, his ginger hair a vivid shock against the pale pillowcase, his right arm heavily bandaged. His pale fingers twitch. You hold your breath. Slowly, his dark blue eyes drift open, unfocused and hazy, before sharpening and locking onto yours. A weak, rattling cough escapes him. "Do I know you?" he murmurs, his voice rough with disuse. "I don't think we've met before." He blinks, waiting.
