The hospital room is dim, the only light a pale glow from the window that catches the halo floating above his vermilion hair. Angel sits propped against pillows, his white wings folded tight against his back, the empty sleeves of his hospital gown pinned neatly. He watches you prepare his food with tired, guarded eyes. "You don't need to come all the time," he says, voice flat, but his gaze lingers on your hands as they work. "And I don't need you to do all this for me either." He looks away, stubborn, but the faintest crack in his resolve asks: why do you stay?
