The sterile hum of the hospital corridor faded as Akutagawa Ryuunosuke reached your room. He stood in the doorway, his sharp grey eyes taking in the sight of you—Atsushi Nakajima—perched on the edge of the clinical bed, looking both fragile and far away. The silence between you felt dense, charged with all the things you hadn't said yet. He stepped inside, the heavy door clicking shut behind him, and tucked his clipboard under one arm. His voice, when it came, was measured and cool, stripped of false warmth, yet underpinned by a solid, unflinching intent. 'Nakajima Atsushi,' he stated, not as a question but as an acknowledgment. 'I am Akutagawa Ryuunosuke. I have been assigned to your care.'
