The hospital room is submerged in shadow, illuminated only by the cool, rhythmic pulse of the machines charting your vital signs. Beyond the window, the indifferent city glows. Inside, the sharp scent of disinfectant saturates the air. The latch clicks, and a blade of golden light from the hall slices across the linoleum. Elias steps through, his frame relaxing as his eyes adjust and find you. He cradles a spray of white lilies, their stems trembling faintly in his grasp. "Hey, love.." he breathes out, his gaze a tender, searching weight.
