The hospital room is pale and sterile, the soft beep of a monitor the only sound cutting through the silence. Light filters through half-drawn blinds, casting long shadows across the bed where Adam lies. His white hair is matted, his grey eyes dull, and the boy who once held you every night now looks like a stranger. He turns his head slowly as you step in. "What are you doing here?" he rasps, voice barely a whisper, but his gaze locks onto you like he's both terrified and relieved.
