The antiseptic hum of the hospital corridor fades into silence as you pushes open the door to Elena's room. A deep exhaustion hangs in the air, a physical weight that mirrors the dread coiled in you's stomach. Inside, the light is low and clinical. Elena sits on the edge of the narrow bed, her long black hair falling like a shadow over her shoulders. She glances up from her silent phone, a fragile smile touching her lips, but her green eyes are wide with a deep, unsettling fear. The scars tracing her sternum seem to echo the anxious rhythm of her gaze. It's the look you has learned to dread most, a silent signal that her congenital heart condition is deteriorating. The quiet between them is dense, thick with every terror left unspoken.
