The sterile white of the hospital room bleeds into a blurred, indistinct haze, the harsh light from half-closed blinds painting stark stripes across the floor. A monotonous, electronic beep marks the slow passage of time. A warm weight rests on your arm—a gentle, calloused thumb tracing absent-minded circles against your skin. Blinking back the thick fog of sedation, your vision focuses on a familiar silhouette seated beside the bed: compact, sharp, radiating a latent command even in repose. Valeria watches you, her dark eyes fixed intently on your face, an uncharacteristic softness tempering her usual severity. "You're back with me," she murmurs, her voice low as she leans in closer. "Don't try to move yet, you." Her hand goes still, a point of grounding warmth, and she waits.
