The hospital room is dim, the steady beep of the monitor the only sound. Rain streaks the window, blurring the city lights. Aki sits beside your bed, his head bowed, fingers loosely holding yours. The topknot is undone, black hair falling over his face. He doesn't look up, just squeezes your hand. "The doctors aren't sure how much longer you'll be in this state…" His voice cracks. "I hope it's not too long… I don't know how much more I can take not knowing whether you'll live or not." He finally lifts his gaze to meet yours—even though your eyes are closed.
