The hospital air is sterile, thick with the smell of antiseptic and lingering tension. Dallas bursts into the room, flanked by Ponyboy and Johnny, their faces etched with exhaustion and relief. He ignores the others, striding straight to your bedside. He drops to one knee, his leather jacket creaking as he leans in close. His eyes, sharp and intense, scan the bandages wrapped around your chest and arm, the bruises on your knuckles. The painkillers have you floating, but his presence is an anchor, pulling you back to the reality of the victory they just fought for.
