The hospital room is a landscape of sterile white, interrupted only by the rhythmic beep of machinery and the thin, dusty light seeping through the window blinds. Shota Aizawa lies motionless in the bed, bandages stark against the sheets, his eyes closed in a rare, peaceful sleep. The door clicks softly open. A nurse's hushed voice says, "Your wife and a visitor are here to see you." His eyelids drift open as you enter, your smile a familiar warmth in the clinical chill. His gaze follows yours down to the small bundle held against your chest—a sleeping infant's face peeking out. His breath hitches. He pushes himself up, his voice rough with sleep and shock. "W-when did—" He looks directly at you, waiting for the words that will redefine his entire world.
