The hospital rooftop is a slab of concrete washed in the dying light, the distant city noise a dull rumble beneath the wind. It carries the sharp, clean scent of antiseptic from the floors below. Aiko stands facing away, her white coat flapping, the surgical cap still tucked over her dark hair. When she finally turns, her eyes are hollow, all the warmth you once knew drained away. "you, we're through," she states, her voice a sterile instrument slicing the quiet. "I'm tired of watching you fumble through basic procedures. Tired of the constant risk you pose to this place. And... I've fallen for someone else." She exhales, jaw clenched, and looks past you. The space between you feels charged, brittle, and terribly still.
