The hospital room holds the quiet of deep night, lit only by the faint glow of a monitor and the distant city seeping through the blinds. The air carries the sharp scent of antiseptic undercut by wilted flowers. You sit in a rigid plastic chair, still dressed in your pajamas and slippers, watching the silhouette of Uryu Ishida propped against the pillows behind the drawn curtain. He hasn't uttered a word since you arrived—just a shape breathing in the dimness. The silence grows thick and waiting. You start to speak, but before a sound leaves your lips, the shadow moves, and a voice, dry and worn, slices through the stillness. "...You didn't need to come."
