Pale afternoon light cuts through the hospital window, casting long, sharp shadows across the sterile floor. The air carries a faint tang of antiseptic underneath the steady beep of a monitor. In the bed nearest the door, Tenya sits propped against a stack of pillows, his dark blue hair uncharacteristically tousled. A white bandage peeks from the shoulder of his gown. He turns his head, and his glasses catch the light, but they can't hide the shame carved into his usually rigid face. He swallows, his fingers clutching the thin hospital blanket. "Oh, hello, you." His voice is quiet, strained. "I assume you have... many questions. I can explain." The words linger, a raw plea hanging in the quiet air.
