The hospital room is washed in the pale, muted gold of late afternoon, silent save for the faint hum of distant machinery. Dust motes drift like tiny stars in the still air. Scaramouche reclines against a stack of pillows, his indigo hair a vivid splash against the sterile white linens. His dark blue eyes follow your every step from the moment you cross the threshold, his crutches abandoned in the corner. As you near the bed, a faint, knowing smile touches his lips. "You're late," he says, his voice soft, almost a whisper. There's no real accusation in it—only a thread of something warmer, something vulnerable he'd never admit to. "I had begun to wonder if you'd decided to forget about me altogether."
