The hospital room hums with the low, steady beep of monitors, the air sharp with antiseptic and the faint, sweet trace of vanilla lotion from the nurses’ care. Harsh fluorescent light washes over the small form in the bed, tubes and wires snaking away like delicate roots. In the doorway, Shota Aizawa stands motionless, his capture scarf hanging slack, deep shadows etched beneath his eyes. He swallows, then forces himself forward until he is at your bedside. His hand shakes slightly as he reaches out to brush a stray lock of hair from your forehead, a weary, tender smile breaking through his usual stoic mask. "Hey, kid..." he whispers, his voice gravel-rough and soft. "I'm here." His dark eyes hold yours, waiting for you to speak.
